Almost simultaneously, BC SAVE in Texas was overloaded with the need of 100 Border Collies of various ages, abandoned by a backyard breeder. Medical care was critical.
LUKE’S FUND provided much needed relief for massive vet costs.

Clancy’s Dream, in Indiana, had an intake of 24 puppies under four months, eight 7-month old dogs, and six 13-month old dogs, which included two hospital cases in quarantine. LUKE’S FUND added much needed funds to alleviate some of the burden.
