Jan Eaton of FAMA arrives at the Lost Dog Ranch with the "Lucky Dozen"
The Pespi, Sprite, Griffen Legacy Gift has already saved many dogs with generous funding for their vet expenses, but the Gift has begun to give in other, unexpected ways as well.
Recently, a partnership sparked from publicity on the Pepsi Sprite Griffen Legacy Gift brought together the efforts of two rescue groups and culminated in the saving of 12 canine lives.
Jan Eaton saw the Pepsi Sprite Griffen Legacy Gift advertised on Mark Levin’s Facebook page and was intrigued. A devoted animal rescuer in Georgia, Jan wondered if Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation might be able to help her save the lives of some dogs who had little chance at adoption or rescue in her rural area. On a whim, she reached out to LDCRF, not expecting a response, but daring to hope. Within 24 hours, an email response from LDCRF founder, Pam McAlwee, arrived in her inbox with an offer of help.
Nine days later, Jan arrived at the Lost Dog & Cat Ranch with her mother as her co-pilot and twelve lucky dogs traveling in air-conditioned comfort in the back of her transport truck. The dogs were rescued courtesy of the group Jan and her husband founded in 2005, Fannin Animal Medical Account (FAMA), which has transported over 3,500 animals to safety since 2007 and aided in the care and welfare of many more in its community. The “lucky dozen” came from shelters which allow dogs only three days to be reclaimed or adopted before they are euthanized and where the kennels are always full.
Twelve dogs don’t fix a problem, but twelve dogs gave a rescuer hope, cemented a partnership and are already moving on to make twelve families very, very happy.
