Thank you
As a board member for the St. Mary's Animal Welfare League, I want to say thank you to everyone who has shown so much interest in Snowflake. And an extra thank you to those of you who have contributued to his care already. It's going to be a long haul, for Snowflake, but he's a survivor and has the spirit to live.
According to the owner, the horse had not been fed in four days at the time he was seen by the vet. If this was the case with the owner and this horse was "dumped" on him, I wish he'd have taken one of the previous offers to help or at least heeded the warning given by animal control six months ago. Since he chose to willingly turn over Snowflake, he will not be charged just as the case with the pony he agreed to turn over to animal control in 1999. So he is off the hook and Snowflake is safe!
SMAWL is dedicated to giving Snowflake the life that he so much deserves. He will be rehabilitated and offered for adoption when he is well. His picture will be posted with our adoptable pets at www.smawl.org soon.
For those who wish to make a monetary donation, please send it to
SMAWL
PO Box 364
Mechanicsville, MD 20659
and designate that it is for the horse fund.
SMAWL will be sponsoring our First Annual Animal Fair at the St. Mary's County fairgrounds on May 21st. We hope that Snowflake will be well enough to attend and meet some of his many supporters in the community. If not, he will be sending lots of pictures and have a booth of his own for his supporters to learn more about him and his status.
Again, thank you very much to all of you who were supportive and instrumental in getting SMAWL's newest family member to safety. He will be loved and nurtured as the rest of our rescue animals are. If you're looking for any new additions for your family, we have lots of dogs and cats who are already to go to their furever homes. You can meet them at www.smawl.org .
Thanks again,
Barbara Whipkey

Hurry up, will ya'? 
I'm so sorry to hear that. At least he was taken out of that horrible environment and lived out his final days being loved.
