SCARS Vehicle Fundrasier!

Our current transport van is in rough shape and we’re in need of a new one!

A Lifeline on Wheels: Our Goal
We’re launching an urgent fundraising campaign to purchase a new, dependable transit van equipped for animal rescue. Our goal is to raise $70,000 to cover the cost of the vehicle and necessary modifications for animal transport.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Homes Alive Pets, all donations made, up to $5,000, will be matched dollar-for-dollar! This means your contribution will have double the impact, bringing us closer to our goal of getting a new rescue van.

Hey everyone, I'm Murphy! Have you been in search of a big goof ball that's loyal and wants all the love? Then look no further cause here I am! When I came into SCARS care, I was underweight but that problem was solved very quickly once I realized I got fed twice a day EVERYDAY! I also used to be quite standoff-ish, it definitely took some time for me to trust people but now I couldn't imagine a life without all of my friends! Sometimes meeting people is still a little nerve wracking so slow introductions is important for me to feel most comfortable. Speaking of friends, I am quite particular about the furry kind. I would do best in a home by myself since those little four legged fluff balls can be a little too exciting for me. I don't do well with other dogs either, I have been successful at making female friends after multiple slow/proper introductions, however male dogs are a big no for me; I like being the man of the house. Since I'm a bigger guy, I need a lot of exercise to keep me occupied so a large fully fenced yard would be ideal for me since dog parks are a no-go! I can be a little pushy when being leashed from my enclosure, I am getting better at sitting and waiting like a good boy but punching people in the uterus brings me true joy! My leash manners could use a little work too, being a bigger guy I've got a bit of weight behind me so sometimes I pull, especially if the ditch pigeons start it! I've got a little ways to go, and a few quirks to work out but I promise to be the most loyal, loving, snuggle bug of a boy to my new family!
