Help Save Pumpkin!

Koda's Legacy has set up a YouCaring chip-in for $500.00 to help this 

stray kitty 

(we named him Pumpkin) We're waiting on a phone call 

back from Koda's vet this morning to at least get a round about cost, 

hopefully reduced, however to have Pumpkin completely vetted we can 

not see that costing less then $500.00 with bloodwork, wound care, 

routine immunizations and neutering. However, if the end result is less 

then $500.00 we can break the left over monies down and give refunds. 

We will adjust the goal accordingly. 

Quoting the founder of our program...

"Just to give you a little more background on Pumpkin my niece Danielle 

found an ad on craigslist begging for help with medical care for this boy, 

he is a stray and the locals have been making sure that he is being fed 

and once this wound was seen the call for help was done. 

I have been in contact with the person all day 10/17/2013 they have their 

own animals and one just spayed they do not have the funding to help Pumpkin. 

(Please no negativity, for they are not the irresponsible owners they are just 

concerned animal lovers without funding)

Once we have funding to take him to be vetted (he is very friendly and enjoys 

being loved) we will personally go and pick him up and take him to the vet for care.

We will have pictures of Pumpkin in his cat carrier on the way to the vet, at the vet, 

leaving the vet and on his way to his forever home that we will post here.

Please share Pumpkin's chip-in, the faster we can get the money gathered the 

faster we can get this boy vetted and to safety.

Thank you ALL for your support!"

If you'd like to help Pumpkin, please use the

Pumpkin YouCaring widget to the right of this page.

Free Banner To Honor Lennox

I AM LENNOX

On July 12, 2012 a dog was put to death

simply because he was "that kind."

Lennox was a pitbull who had a family

and never did anything to anyone except

show love. He was impounded for years

in a cold lonely concrete cell with little

human contact. The powers in Belfast

wanted to make an example of him.

Despite world-wide outcry, Lennox 

was put to death never seeing 

his family again. Never running free or

allowed to snuggle with his people for

the last years of his life.

Why?

Simply because he was a breed that

was feared in ignorance.

If you believe that BSL

(Breed Specific Legislation)

is morally WRONG - then please

take this banner and use it to

tell the world that Lennox lives on.

Just click on the image and when the 

large image comes up, right click on it

and save it to your computer.

It is sized for a Facebook cover but 

you can use it elsewhere.

I AM LENNOX

Kodas Legacy News and Auction Schedule!

At this very moment, Skoobers' Legacy is

running our auction to fund items that will

be sent to our winning animals shelter.

"Skoobers' Box Of Love" will contain all

sorts of lovely things to brighten up the lives

of shelter animals and their caregivers.

Collars, leashes, cat toys, dog toys and whatever

is on the winning shelter's Wish List will be

sent to them free of any charges with love!

Koda's Legacy gets many requests for 

financial help for family pet's medical needs

but at this point, we just don't have the funds 

needed. That's not to say that we won't help

in some other way. There are many "Giving Widgets"

to the right of this page and you can be assured

that we have checked the validity of each pet

thoroughly. If a widget is there, we have investigated

better than most organizations do because our

reputation is on the line.

So when Hazel's Mommy came to us, we checked

things out. Mommy had half of the money needed 

for Hazel's breast cancer surgery. Koda's Legacy

pitched in and is helping run an auction for Hazel too!

Here's the link:

As soon as Skoobers' Legacy closes their 

auction, Koda's Legacy will open the next day!

This will be the premier auction to raise as

much money as we can to fund the medical

care for our Legacy Doggies.

Auction Schedule For Dogs In Need!

Koda's Legacy

is pleased to announce our upcoming

schedule for our fund-raising auctions!

First one is to raise money to help a service dog

who has Lymphoma. This auction is under the 

auspices of Koda's Legacy and it is being put

together by the service dog trainer.

This auction can be found at

http://www.facebook.com/HeidisLymphomaAuction

The next auction is tentatively scheduled 

for July 1st. A poster will be coming as soon

as we firm up the dates.  This auction will

benefit Skoobers' Legacy which is the "brother"

of Koda's Legacy, dedicated to helping brighten 

the lives of shelter pets. The proceeds from that 

auction will help us fill a "Skoobers' Box Of Love"

with collars, leashes, toys, etc. which will be sent

to an animal shelter in the United States.

Visit Skoobers' Legacy and get a sneak peek:

http://www.Facebook.com/SkoobersLegacy

The third auction will be called

Koda's Legacy Christmas In July Auction.

Scheduled to begin on July 15, the proceeds

from that auction will go to pay the Veterinary

bills for our current "Legacy Doggies."  We have

been helping a Diabetic Service Dog and a dog

that has cancer. The bills have been high but 

thanks to our donors and auction winners, the

Vet bills are paid up to date!

Visit the Koda's Legacy page here:

http://www.Facebook.com/KodasLegacy

We have a long list of applicants for our services

and have been able to help other pets in need of

medical services but we'd like to expand our 

program as much & as fast as we can. It is 

heartbreaking to us when we have to turn pets

down because we wish we could help 

so many more. We're trying to come up with

new, fun & innovative ways to do just that!!

If you would like to donate an item for any of

our auctions, please send us an e-mail at

kodaslegacy@yahoo.com

Please SHARE our Facebook pages and 

come to our auctions. We have so much fun

and your money helps a pet in need!

Thank you for your support!

Koda's Legacy Introduces Skoobers' Legacy!

Skoobers' Legacy

Skoobers' Legacy is the "brother" of Koda's Legacy. 

In fact, Skoobers IS Koda's fur-brother. 

Many of you know Koda's Legacy on Facebook 

as the organization that raises funds for 

family pets' medical needs. 

Since Skoobers was adopted from a shelter, 

he'd like to help homeless pets that are 

still awaiting their forever home.

Skoobers has a brain tumor but he is still 

a happy guy so he would like his legacy 

to bring happiness to shelter pets. 

In the days ahead, we'll be sharing 

Skoobers' ideas with all of you!

Please go to Skoobers' Facebook page

and give him a hug & a LIKE!

The Joshua Fund Helps Again!

Please welcome baby Carter to our list of pups that we are assisting! Carter was adopted from a shelter as a sickly little man unbeknownst to his new family. 

As we all know Parvo can be a very deadly disease and Carters life was hanging in the balance, the vets office told me that they really did not give Carter much hope of pulling through because Parvo hit him hard! But I want you to know that Carter is doing so much better he is now able to eat and drink a little and keeping it down! Carter is on the road to recovery but still has a way to go!

I want to personally thank Carter’s family for having enough compassion, enough love for not only your family but for Carter that instead of putting him to sleep you took that chance even though you knew you could not afford his vet bills YOU did not give up on a beautiful life. Thank you! Thank you for trusting in Koda’s Legacy that we were going to help you!

Like I said in another post, Koda’s Legacy is has 2 very ill pups that they are taking care of and the costs are high, when we have someone coming to us for help and we cannot financially help them we will let them know up front that our funds are tied up, but this is what we can do. We give options just like I did with Julie (Carters mom) and this is the outcome below!

I would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU once again to “The Joshua Fund” for jumping in on Carter’s behalf and donating $500.00 to his care! There is light at the end of the tunnel.
Please take a moment of your time and hop on over to “The Joshua Fund” facebook page and thank them for loving the animals. Please also share their page! Let everyone know that there are options out there to help them with their vet bills.

Thank you Mr. Daniel from The Joshua Fund 

Thank you ALL!

What Exactly IS Koda's Legacy?

Most of you know the reasoning behind Koda’s Legacy some of you may not know completely. 

Koda came from a back yard breeder that did not care for the creatures that he was breeding or the pups that were born. Koda has numerous medical issues from diabetes, partial blindness, and hip dysplasia. Numerous times we have went down twisty roads with boulders in our way that we have been able to overcome because within Koda’s chest beats the golden heart of a Rottweiler with determination to overcome obstacles! Koda’s medical bills last time I checked was around $23,000.00, from specialists to hospital stays etc. We have been fortunate enough to have the funding for Koda’s medical needs but so many people do not have this, hence the reasoning behind Koda’s Legacy. I am not saying that we are rich nor have we have not struggled paying some of his vet bills but we have an AWESOME veterinarian team that worked with us if needed.

Koda’s Legacy is growing fast especially behind the scenes. We have numerous things going on with fundraising, we are getting requests to help more pups almost weekly and we have gotten 3 requests in the last 2 weeks.

Unfortunately we cannot help all of those pups because we are simply not equipped to yet! We are trying our best to assist in any way possible. We are contacting the vets to verify information about the animals. This is how we have helped some of these pups so far:

• Sarah a cancer pup in need of a $2500.00 surgery to remove a mast cell tumor, we have put our name and have helped Sarah’s mom set up a auction to help get Sarah her much needed surgery.
• Another pup, heart breaking story, we never got the chance to assist even though complete funding was available through “The Joshua Fund”, we did the leg work and helped to no avail.
• Hope is a chemically burnt pup where the family that found her is doing their best; we are currently waiting on more information.
• We now have Carter the parvo pup that was adopted from a shelter sickly, we know how deadly parvo can be and poor little Carter has been in ICU for a few days. We will be setting up a chip-in for Carter to help alleviate the cost; I also have again reached out to another organization for assistance.

As of yesterday there was only 4 of us behind the scenes of Koda’s Legacy and we are ALL busy doing various things from; research, contacting people and businesses for donations for our auctions, overseeing Sarah’s auction, public relations, phone calls, getting faxes, making stuff for auctions, brainstorming for new and exciting ways that we are going to take Koda’s Legacy. There is so much behind the scenes going on that no one see’s. I know personally that all of us myself, Jessica, Lynne and Danielle are sitting behind the computer screen no less than 7-8 hours daily just trying to keep up with Koda’s Legacy at this point! Then the other hours of the day we are brainstorming with Koda’s Legacy on our minds and where we are going and what we want the end result of Koda’s Legacy to be.

This is where “our” goal is, what we foresee, and what we are working so diligently on.

• We want to NEVER have to turn away an animal in need of medical care no matter how small or how complicated the medical condition it is.
• We want to be a household name.
• We want to make that difference in someone’s life that has no hope, we want to hold their paw and give them that hope, we want to save animals lives! We ARE helping to save lives.

With all of this being said, who we are, what we are about, where we are headed you can help us achieve these goals, our goals your goals by sharing Koda’s Legacy!

Thank you ALL that have supported us through “our” journey so far!

I am most grateful to all of you that 

have prayed as well. Bambi has been a world 

of knowledge, most of all an emotional 

backbone of support in our journey 

to find a cure for Heidi. 

Heidi is my heart. 

I love you all,even though we've never met. 

I love the evidence of your pure hearts as you 

stand up to protect the vulnerable without voices. 

I hope we will come to know each other closer

Blessings to all of you. 

Always, Deb ♥"
