Delco Dawgs, an all-volunteer foster-based operation, is facing a 'crisis point' in their quest to leave no dog behind.Jill Speckman of Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania, left behind a 25-year-long career in radio to pursue a job with no salary: caring for the kinds of dogs who are most in need.
Speckman founded 'Delco Dawgs,' which eventually grew into an all-volunteer nonprofit organization. Without a brick-and-mortar location, the effort relies on foster and adoptive families to give dogs a roof over their heads. That care comes at a cost, which is funded by donations from within the community. Some dollars even come out of the pockets of volunteers.
A summertime surge in lost or mistreated dogs has caused the nonprofit to reach that $100,000 cap. Thus, Delco Dawgs was forced to pause the intake of any new animals for medical care.
