A good woman raises money for Nevada shelter!
The Nevada SPCA has some great supporters!!!
In Nevada, as in many other parts of the country, homes are being abandoned and people are moving due to forclosures, loss of employment or other effect of the economic crisis. As in other areas of the country, more and more dogs are being left behind. Some are left in homes without food or water and in many cases are found dead. However, as officials and realtors are becoming more sensitive to the situation, many dogs are being found and their lives are saved. However, the next home of these dogs is usually the local animal shelter.
Cyndee Platko is a personal trainer who lives in Nevada. She has two dogs, Tigger and Daisy and considers them her kids. She says, “My dogs are my life. I don’t have kids, so they are my kids. I would do anything for them.” Her love of dogs goes beyond her own dogs. Understanding the plight of the dogs and the needs of the over populated shelters, Platko had undertaken a great task. She is going to run a 50 mile race in order to raise $5000 for the Nevada SPCA. Platko says the following of her efforts, “I kept hearing about how many animals they’re getting because there are so many foreclosures, so many people having to go to apartments and not being able to afford the dog fee.”
Officials at the NSPCA are thrilled with the assistance they will receive from Platko’s efforts. The main shelter is packed to capacity with 800 dogs and they are taking in an average of 30 dogs per day. Some are dropped off, some found by others and some are just found wandering along sides of the road.
Let’s hope that more people are inspired by the efforts of Cyndee Platko and help those animals and the people who dedicate their lives to caring for them.
