<\/p>\nDear good friends to Milo and the animals,<\/p>\n
Hello and thank you for being a \u201cMilo Person!\u201d\u00a0 Whether you are an adopter, a donor, an animal enthusiast, or one of our valued volunteers or fosters – I want to personally recognize and appreciate you!\u00a0 There is nothing like 2020 to make me be grateful for the people who care, who give, and who keep helping animals in any way.<\/p>\n
We have once again survived the fires, the evacuation of our Sanctuary and the ongoing difficulties of running a life-saving adoption business during Covid.\u00a0\u00a0Due to necessity and it being a safer place, I have been SIP at our Sanctuary since late March with limited staff to work at either location of Milo as Covid rages on.\u00a0 It\u2019s been seriously trying at times, having enough staff to care for the animals, all the uncertainty and the great frustrations for everyone!\u00a0 For the staff and everyone\u2019s safety we have had to put restrictions on volunteers and guests in the Adoption Center space, but we are making it work!\u00a0\u00a0We always do.<\/p>\n
In 2020, against all odds we managed to rescue almost 1600 animals.\u00a0\u00a0The demand for puppies and small dogs has been off the charts during Covid, but we also rescued many seniors, large adult dogs and medical cases needing urgent surgeries and care, and cats with lingering ailments needing treatments as well as many underage kittens.<\/p>\n
And who helped make this life saving possible?\u00a0\u00a0Our wonderful donors, and all our devoted Milo foster homes!\u00a0\u00a0We have rescued more pregnant and nursing mom dogs than ever before, and as always, lots of cats and kittens.\u00a0\u00a0TEAM MILO IS AWESOME, and I am ever grateful for all everyone does to help the animals in need!<\/p>\n
We celebrate the beginning of 2021 by rescuing animals more animals in need!\u00a0 Cats, kittens, pregnant moms, dogs big and small, even goats and pigs!\u00a0 So, please keep giving, and please keep adopting and fostering, it is YOU who help save these lives.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I wish for you all a joy-filled year, with health and happiness being the best things we can hope for, that and the love of friends and family \u2013 including our animal family members who are especially important to making every day worth living!\u00a0 Hopefully later in the new year we can safely gather, we can open our doors at Milo Pt Richmond, volunteers can once again visit to walk dogs and play with the cats, and our Sanctuary can welcome campers and visitors \u2013 I am so ready!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So, cheers to you all!\u00a0 Please, be happy, be safe and keep on helping the animals in any way you can.<\/p>\n
For the animals, we thank you!<\/p>\n
