Being located in Texas and based out of the Katy/Houston area we have been in the direct impact and aftermath of the storm. All of our foster dogs are safe and most of our volunteers sustained minimum damages luckily. As a result of the storm we have lost a substantial donor and adopter base of people who have been impacted by the storm. The flooding has caused one of our main specialty clinics to have to close and they are referring to other clinics. Due to this we have had to re-arrange our foster situation and move dogs around so they can get the care they need!
We currently have no donations coming in, minimal adoptions and we have 32 dogs in our care. We get requests every day to take more dogs and do not want to say no, but we have to treat the dogs currently in our care. Many of our dogs are still requiring expensive surgeries and we need your help to accomplish this task.
We actually have outstanding vet bills around $2,000 and another $6,000 needing to be paid with the treatments below: Alex-complete ACL tear repair $1875 Summer-luxating patella grade 4 repair both knees $2500 Gretel-c-section for puppies $700 Archer-3 shot series heartworm treatment $550 Chewy-2 shot series heartworm treatment $500
We have a waiting list of dogs still needing our help and a handful we are working to find placement for. Any donation is appreciated.

We shut our doors after 16 years to pursue fund raising for dog rescue groups through online auctions and to advocate for animals through the Mona Pants Foundation.
Owned and operated by Debbi Cochran (a.k..a. Momma to Mona Pants)
We fund raise for rescue groups through weekly online fashion jewelry auctions. A different rescue is featured every week along with a fresh new selection of both fashion and handmade designs (made by Momma) 50% of the proceeds is donated.
In order to assure these funds are used appropriately, we vet each rescue. We establish working relationships with a select few and focus on helping them with medical costs.
