As many of my dear readers know, we need money for Homer’s bills. I have made a tally of his expenses. Any amount you can give will help his new Mom with the additional expenses she will have in the future.

I am not setting up a FirstGiving page for Homer because I am not a 501(c)3. FirstGiving only works with not for profit organizations. You need to know this, because any donation you make for Homer is not tax deductible. You also need to know that 100% of your donation will go to Homer’s bills. I will be posting his bills and his donation amounts right here on this page.

Now I want to tell you how to donate. There 2 ways.

1.) You can log on to PAYPAL.COM

After you log in to your account you click SEND MONEY at the top left hand corner. Then, you enter my e-mail address which is

bassethoundtown@fuse.net

Then you add the amount you want to send to Homer – remember, no amount is too small.

Click on Services – Other, hit enter and you will get a review screen. At the bottom of that screen is a box to type a message. Please put that this payment is for Homer and a message. I will be posting these on this page as well.

OR

2.) Send a check to:

BASSET HOUND TOWN ENTERPRISES
CATHY L. RUDERT
P.O. BOX 347
FT. THOMAS KY, 41075

Please put Homer’s name in the memo line

TALLY OF EXPENSES

PICK UP FEE FROM POUND, 26.00…………

Here is his pound vet paper -you can click on the thumbnails to enlarge.

VETTING, see invoice, 98.59…………Donations will go to this amount first. Click on the invoice to see every detail.

BOARDING

5 days @ 17.00 per day, 91.80…………….I do not have the receipt yet because it is still in progress, I will be posting it. FYI – this amount includes food and 3 walks per day with one extended play session per day.

I think I got overcharged by 17.00 on the boarding. I am going to call on Monday and make sure. If they charged for Saturday, I am going to be a bit miffed.

SURGERY

Dental, neuter and lumpectomy (3), 477.40.…………….I do not have the receipt yet. I hope to pick that up today when I visit Homer. I will be added the mini picture for you click on. (update) I will not have this until Saturday. FYI lumpectomies were not sent to the lab which saved 100.00. Joni is to keep a watchful eye on these areas.

TRANSPORTATION

Private driver (estimated), 150.00…………….YES! You heard me right! This amount is an estimate because this private driver only charges us for the cost of a rental car, gas, and meals. This is a 16 hour trip he is making in one day. I will be doing other blogs on this man, but he is an angel with a driver’s license. He has driven another basset for me in the past. Homer is too old and the weather is to bad from here to NY to chance a 4 to 5 leg transport, not to mention I had no takers on the transport.

Homer has suffered enough, he needs a little luxury in this life on his way to his new Mommy. This man is named Jim and he does OLDE ENGLISH SHEEP DOG RESCUE.

Can you imagine driving 19 hours for the love a a hound? That’s stunningly amazing! Thank you Jim. We love you!
