It's been a busy couple of weeks at RESCUE. Here is the recap:
On 5/1 RESCUE hosted our Cinco Dog Mayo Car Wash. It was a SMASHING success! BEST EVER!! Thank you so much for all your support of our event! Because of your efforts RESCUE raised a whopping $1,914!!!!!! How awesome is that?!! YAHOO!!! Click here for photos and videos from the event.
On 5/4 RESCUE was honored to be able to save two dogs from the kill list. We have Shane a Border Collie mix. He is very sweet and in dire need of some brushing! :) He's a tall guy but only about 21 pounds. Then we have the stunning Farrah. Farrah is a purebred fawn colored Pit Bull. She is such a love bug! She loves to be pet and snuggle in your lap, despite her 52 pound size!
On 5/8 RESCUE dog Frederick was adopted! He got a wonderful home with his new mom Sherron. Click here for all the details and photos.
On 5/8 RESCUE dog Davy and Shane were adopted! Here are the details and photos for Davy and for Shane and here for and update on Shane.
On 5/11 RESCUE was privileged to save three dogs from the kill list. We have the goofy blue merle terrier named Howie. Animal Control had him listed as an Otterhound. He only weighs 31 pounds so we're guessing this 5 year old boy is not an Otterhound but he is a very unique looking terrier. Then we have the very handsome and gentle Midas. Midas is a well behaved Golden Retriever/Shepherd mix with "old soul eyes." Lastly we have Nash, who was named after Phoenix Sun's Steve Nash. Nash is a peppy Chihuahua/terrier mix. He reminds me a lot of former RESCUE dog Tad! He had been at Animal Control since 4/22.
On 5/13 RESCUE dog Howie moved into foster care. He is doing very well and his foster parent thinks he is one of the best foster dogs she's ever had! This is a photo of him from foster care.
On 5/15 RESCUE dog Seth was adopted. Click here for all the details and photos from his adoption.
On 5/16 RESCUE dog Wyatt was adopted. Click here for all the details and photos from his adoption.
On 5/17 RESCUE dog Midas moved into foster care. His foster parents are long time volunteers and foster parents. They have reported that Midas is one of their best foster dogs ever!! This is a photo of him while in foster care.
On 5/18 RESCUE was thrilled to save two more dogs from the kill list. We have little 8 pound Raven. She is a bit timid and afraid of the leash but with patience and love she comes around. And then we have 23 pound Grover! He is such a goofball and looks like a carton character! He was listed as a black Shih Tzu but I don't think that's accurate. He has a very soft, dense fur. It will be interesting to see what he looks like when his fur grows out. He has the face of an Affenpinscher. He has an adorable underbite and is very playful, loving and as mentioned goofy!
We are getting ready to kick off our largest fundraiser of the year - Bowlarama! This event helps us pay for our expenses for about five months. Stay tuned for all the details! We can use all the help we can get in order to reach our goal!
Thank you for all your support and for following our journey!
