Dear DAR Supporters.
I can't think of a better story to tell today then the story of Snowy.. wishing in the Holdiay season.
Snowy was born on the streets of Dharamsala with a view of the snowy Himlayas, as dogs here are. Snowy was luckier than most because she given loving care from birth by a local Tibetan women. She had a nice calm and quiet place to sleep, and many friends. Her sweet friendly disposition shows she was loved.
Unfortunately, Snowy has chronic skin problems that led to demodectic mange, a condition caused by low immunity. For 2 years in a row, during monsoon season, Snowy would come to DAR red, scabby, losing fur, skinny, and itchy. It would take two months of medicine and a high protein diet (the mange mites feed on carbs) to get her back to her beautiful self.
When the same thing happened year 3, we decided to make Snowy one of our permanent residents so we keep a close eye on her diet and overall health. DAR has 14 permanent residents that we keep because no one will adopt them and they cannot survive on the street.
Snowy has thrived at DAR. She has become a true femme fatale. She is such a sweetheart that everyone, dogs included, fall in love with her. However, if you step on her foot by accident or another dog growls, she will have an utter tantrum.. howl, moan.. which of course, just gets her more attention : )
How do we afford to keep Snowy and her friends at DAR in good health while providing lots of love you ask? We offer Sponsorships! For just $100 per year, you help us help Snowy...then you receive a Welcome Note, and 3 Updates per year on how she is doing.. on New Year's, Valentine's Day and Summer.
Can you think of a better gift for you dog loving friends and family?

Happy Holidays,
