I was the first post in that thread. I’m sorry if it seemed like I was trying to tell you what to do, I was just concerned for you.  

You are the best of us and I do not want to lose you.

@Joker1

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help, truth be told my little girl is desperate to get a puppers.  I am also part of a signal group of Indiana members of arf, I know that there are several good guys and gals in Southern Indiana.  I'm not sure how far south in KY you are, but I would bet we could get some help your way if needed.  Hell, I would be willing to make a drive, as I have family in Florence.  Let me know if you need it, please.

Damn it.  This isn't good news at all.

I know you don't want people telling you what to do, but you better take care of yourself.  There are too many dogs out there that need you in their lives.  

I'm about 10 hours away, so I'm struggling with what I can do to help.  I sent some money, but that doesn't help carry dog food in.  
If nobody closer can help, I can always come out and camp for a few days and make sure they all get fed.  My wife already volunteered to take care of our dogs while I'm gone.  

Sabrina says hi.

@Joker1 perhaps contact the local FFA/Ag teacher at the high school.   I bet you can get a good solid kid to handle your daily chores for cash/under the table.  And I bet we/arfcom can keep that kid paid as long as you need it.

Just a thought.  When I was a teenager I would have jumped at the chance to be around so many dogs.

But he's worried about the dogs.  He needs people  to step up and help. He has 22 dogs and they need homes.

He's not going to abandon his post and go to hospital. He cares more about the dogs than he does about himself.

So if you want to help him, adopt a dog. Maybe adopt two.

They're all good dogs. So please get a dog.

I got a message from Joker1 - he had another issue last night and sounded like he was going to address it and go to the hospital. I left him a message this morning. Waiting to hear back but we may need to care for the dogs.

Starting tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon, I am free through the weekend. I am in Kansas, but am willing to drive just about anywhere. If dogs or anything needs shuttled around, someone shoot me a PM. I’d be more than willing to help.

Godspeed, Joker.

Standing by as needed.  Can be on station for a few days. Have tent, hammock, and a truck I can sleep in if needed.

Told my wife about the situation, she said we need to send one of our wimmenz in to handle things as dudes are dumbasses.

Whoever is going in first, bring your wimmenz as it would lead to a better run operation and more organized.

Shitty news. Still gathering information and everything is all up in the air.

Joker1 was helicoptered to a metro hospital and it's serious. There is a facebook page for his rescue efforts with this info, and folks on there are discussion helping the dogs. Our local member is reaching out to help co-ordinate, and let them know there's another community willing to help. And to make sure they're not just turned over to animal control.

Should have pictures of each dog in a day or so. Plan is to head down tomorrow most likely. Will update.

I don't know any of the specifics so I'm just asking...why does he have 22 dogs?

Don't take the question the wrong way, seems like so many vouch for him, was just curious...

Is his issue heart related?

@anothermisanthrope can we get a link to the Facebook page?

I reached out to a large regional rescue (with Joker1's blessing) to see if they could help with the bulk of the dogs.  The more information I can get to them the better.

He's doing God's work on this planet for dogs.  He rescues good dogs that are set to be put down, brings them home, vets them, and helps find them new homes.  The dogs are his life.

Well that response is certainly one way to ensure people that are unaware don't add to the cause... How is it a stupid question? If anything, maybe others are willing to help but thinking the same question.

Instead of giving a stupid answer, maybe give an actual answer and you'll end up doing good for joker in the end. Got that?
