There are many more people in Hoopa who care about Rex. Though, I'm going to point out here, those who have been standing up for Rex, and had their names printed in the paper over what happened in Hoopa, are receiving either "reprimands" or "memos" from the Superintendent of KTJUSD. Apparently he feels he now has to mend the district relationship with Tribal Police and is fearful that the insurance company may drop the district. With as bad as our insurance coverage is, I personally, don't think would be a bad thing.
I, personally, received a memo because I didn't personally tell my principal the dog was on campus, though my principal and vice-principal already knew and had seen the dog themselves (as well as about 50 other adults, who didn't receive memos). I was singled out because my name was in the paper. As you can see, that isn't going to stop me from spreading the word and doing what is right.
I know many people want to know what they can do to help, so here you go.
1) If you feel that Hoopa needs to have its contracts renewed with the county so it receives support services from the county sheriff and animal control, contact the following board of supervisors:
rsundberg@co.humboldt.ca.us
If you are a tribal member, you may want to also contact your Tribal Leadership.
2) If you are concerned about Tribal Police issues, the people to contact are at the Bureau of Indian Affairs, feedback@bia.gov. Again, if you are a tribal member, contact Tribal Leadership as well.
3) If you want to help pay Rex's medical bill, contact the Sunny Brae Animal Clinic at 707-822-5124. The bill is under Karin Glinden's name, but if you remember Rex's name, they will find it.
4) If you are interested in being Rex's forever home, contact me through here, via my e-mail link.
5) If you want to help another dog on the reservation find a forever home, contact the Greater Rural Rescue (number listed in an earlier blog)
I thank you all for your support.
