6
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:17.039
<v Speaker 1>Excited to visit right now with Katie from Almost Home

7
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:19.359
<v Speaker 1>Canine Rescue. And we had a chance to visit with

8
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:21.719
<v Speaker 1>Clay Foley the other day. He's a stand up comic

9
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:24.359
<v Speaker 1>who will be coming to the Sioux Falls area on

10
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>April twenty sixth at Winter Green acres It's a benefit

11
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>for a benefit for Almost Home Canine Rescue, and I

12
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.840
<v Speaker 1>wanted to visit Katie right now to talk about Almost Home.

13
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:34.840
<v Speaker 1>First of all, how long have you been involved there?

14
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:39.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? So Almost Home Canon Rescue was originally established up

15
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.479
<v Speaker 2>in Madison, South Dakota, and we ended up re establishing

16
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:46.640
<v Speaker 2>it down in Sue Falls in dis February of twenty seventeen.

17
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Very nice, And let's talk about your mission. What do

18
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.560
<v Speaker 1>you guys do at Almost Home Canine Rescue.

19
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we help any animals that we can. We're one

20
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.159
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent foster based, so we don't have any type

21
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:01.320
<v Speaker 2>of facility. Everything has done in people's homes, so we

22
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:02.840
<v Speaker 2>have to have an open home to be able to

23
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.280
<v Speaker 2>help any animal, whether it's a cat or a dog,

24
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:09.200
<v Speaker 2>and we pull I would say probably about ninety five

25
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 2>percent of our animals come off a local reservation. We

26
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:14.719
<v Speaker 2>have a transport that goes up. We have a van

27
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.879
<v Speaker 2>that was donated by a local bank here in town,

28
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.120
<v Speaker 2>and we have a van that goes up, meets out

29
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:24.920
<v Speaker 2>in the Olacoma area every week and brings a load

30
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.840
<v Speaker 2>of animals back that are that are needing homes. And

31
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 2>as long as we have a foster home available for them,

32
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 2>we take them. If not, we network them out to

33
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.040
<v Speaker 2>other rescues and shelters in the area to help us

34
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:36.040
<v Speaker 2>place those animals.

35
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 1>I love that And if somebody listening is going, you know,

36
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I would like to get involved. Are you looking for

37
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:42.719
<v Speaker 1>more foster families right now?

38
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh? We are. That's probably our biggest ask right now.

39
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.560
<v Speaker 2>The two biggest asks we always have our finances just

40
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.760
<v Speaker 2>because it does cost a lot, and our adoption fees

41
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>really don't cover everything that we put into each animal,

42
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 2>but foster homes are probably actually we're probably more desperate

43
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 2>for them right now. Always think that, like, hey, if

44
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>we're willing to pay, and it's like, hey, it's not

45
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.359
<v Speaker 2>about always paying for the stuff that the animal needs.

46
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:08.199
<v Speaker 2>It's more of do we have a place for it,

47
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.280
<v Speaker 2>just because, like I said, we're not a shelter, so

48
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:12.599
<v Speaker 2>we don't have kennels. Everything has to have a place

49
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.520
<v Speaker 2>to actually go. So foster homes are probably our biggest

50
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:16.960
<v Speaker 2>greatest need right now.

51
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 1>Very nice and if somebody is interested, I'm on the

52
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>website right now Almost Home Canine Rescue dot com. And

53
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:25.479
<v Speaker 1>when you get out here you can see where you

54
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 1>can click to become a foster. There's also other volunteer opportunities.

55
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>So if you're going I love animals, I would love

56
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 1>to do this, but I have a lease where I

57
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>can't have a pet. That's understandable. You can still get involved.

58
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>You can still be a huge, huge asset even if

59
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:42.159
<v Speaker 1>you don't get to be one of the foster families.

60
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.879
<v Speaker 1>And again all at the same website, Almost Home Canine

61
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:49.479
<v Speaker 1>Rescue dot Com. And another way you can help is

62
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:51.639
<v Speaker 1>to come out and have some fun. At the end

63
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.199
<v Speaker 1>of this month, it's the twenty sixth of April, and

64
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>have you had a chance to go out and check

65
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.360
<v Speaker 1>out the Winter Green Acres Yeat. Have you been there?

66
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.719
<v Speaker 2>I have, Yeah, it is an app beautiful facility.

67
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I was there a few weeks ago. I had another

68
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.199
<v Speaker 1>event there and I get to this place and I'm like,

69
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 1>this is so amazing. It's brand new. And when you

70
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.800
<v Speaker 1>get to Crook, South Dakota, it's just a little bit north.

71
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>It's like right on the edge of town. Like when

72
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I first was looking for it, I'm going, Okay, did

73
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:18.639
<v Speaker 1>I miss it? Where am I at? So like you

74
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.199
<v Speaker 1>drive through Crooks and it's just a little bit on

75
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>the like I said, the north edge. But it is

76
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 1>a brand new, beautiful, amazing facility, And I'm so excited

77
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.719
<v Speaker 1>to work with Clay Foley. He's a very funny stand

80
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>with rescues like Almost Home Canine Rescue, and he helps

81
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>raise money for great charities that do great things like

82
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.479
<v Speaker 1>Almost Home. And you can have a great time on Saturday,

84
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:52.639

85
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.520
<v Speaker 1>there specific needs that you have right now? Other than

86
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.319
<v Speaker 1>people to foster. Are there other things that people could

87
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe do to help out well?

88
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:01.719
<v Speaker 2>Right now, we have actually a couple different things. So

89
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 2>our Facebook page is where we've put most of our communication.

90
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:07.960
<v Speaker 2>We actually are doing an Easter egg hunt right now,

91
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.960
<v Speaker 2>where you pay fifty dollars, we will come out and

92
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 2>decorate your yard with Easter eggs after everybody goes to

93
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:19.319
<v Speaker 2>bed the night before Easter. We also have we're promoting

94
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.879
<v Speaker 2>obviously the comedy show right now, so if you are

95
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:24.759
<v Speaker 2>wanting to sponsor, we're still looking for some business sponsorships

96
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.439
<v Speaker 2>for that as well. But also we are selling tables,

97
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:31.680
<v Speaker 2>we're selling individual tickets, and then we always have just

98
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 2>kind of like you were saying, not just fosters, but volunteers.

99
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:36.480
<v Speaker 2>We're looking for people to hide the Easter eggs. We're

100
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 2>looking for people to drive the rescue van out to Ola,

101
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:41.959
<v Speaker 2>Cooma each week to pick up those animals. So volunteers

102
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:47.519
<v Speaker 2>are always needed on you know, there's different ways to

103
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.920
<v Speaker 2>volunteer all the time. It might be us asking for

104
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.279
<v Speaker 2>somebody to run down to our veterinarian's office and grab

105
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:55.480
<v Speaker 2>some medications that you know an animal may need. There's

106
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.759
<v Speaker 2>dogs that may need a walk in the middle of

107
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.439
<v Speaker 2>the day because their foster works longer shift that type

108
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.319
<v Speaker 2>of thing. So yes, there's always always something going on

109
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.279
<v Speaker 2>that we're needing for needing foster score or volunteer score.

110
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.920
