We've been very busy since our last update. On 7/23 we had a fundraiser at Rosita's. Over 200 supporters showed up for lunch and dinner. We raised $250 for the event. Rosita's matched that amount bringing the total for the event to $500.
On 7/28 RESCUE was honored to saved four new lives from the kill list. Pepe is an adorable, young Manchester terrier mix, Sammy is a Lhasa mix, Gretchen is a red cocker spaniel and Noah is a sheltie. Sammy and Gretchen were in terrible condition when we rescued them. They were covered in ticks, their fur was drenched in urine and matted to the skin. :( Both dogs were promptly shaved down and now look and feel a world better!! Click here for Gretchen and Sammy's post grooming photos. Noah sat at Animal Control for three weeks before we saved him. Noah had a terrible infection on his neutering site and was limping on his back right leg. We are monitoring his leg that may have suffered a soft issue injury. Shortly after we rescued Noah his infection became much worse and literally ate a quarter size whole in his skin. :( Thanks to our fast acting vets, his infection was brought under control immediately and he is doing a ton better. Both Noah and Sammy have now moved into foster care.
On 7/29 long time RESCUE cat Harriet was adopted. She is currently a spoiled only kitty but the adopters are considering adding another RESCUE cat to keep her company. We'll keep you posted.
On 8/1 RESCUE attended the 7th annual Bowlarama. We had a blast bowling with our fellow animal rescuers. Additionally this event is RESCUE's largest fundraiser. After several months with dozens and dozens of volunteers and hundreds and hundreds of donors, RESCUE very proudly raised a WHOPPING $47,129!!!!! HOW AMAZING IS THAT?!! These funds are a huge help to our organization. They will help us save and care for the orphaned dogs and cats that we save from the kill list for about 4-5 months! We greatly appreciate all the support of this event. We could not have done this without the dedication of our volunteers and the generous support of our donors. Thank you so much!
