It’s Thanksgiving weekend, and we at rescue have so much to be thankful for this year. Like every year before it–and any year in dog rescue, to be quite honest—it has been both a fulfilling and a challenging one. We’ll start recapping 2015 soon enough, though, in separate blog entries. For now?
Our annual Angel Tree Drive has officially kicked off again! For the past two years, Intown Healthy Hound in Grant Park has graciously sponsored our tree and will do so again this year. Dog City II in Sandy Springs will also be hosting a tree, which we set up today (pictured). Thanks so much to Olive and Lily, owner Marcia’s insanely-adorable Boston Terrier rescues, for helping us get the job done!
October was the beginning of what would become three solid months of good stuff – miracle adoptions, fantastic fosters and donations by the dozens! And, of course, we had to have a little Halloween fun …
Remember when having leftover newspapers around the house was a regular thing? Well … thanks to technology (which we love because we’ve “met” you!), that’s not the case anymore … but rescues like us still need them for boys like Skip (as well as wee pads available on our Amazon Wish List).
If you’re old-school and still “get the paper,” save them up after your Jack has read them and send them, deliver them or drop them off with a volunteer for us to give to the dogs.
Also, if you have old towels and/or blankets you no longer need, we will definitely need them for winter when the dogs are inside in their warm crates more. Laundry runs are no fun …. as several of our vols know …
Ready to donate? If you’re in the immediate Atlanta area, email us and we’ll give you our address and/or schedule a pickup with a volunteer. If you’re outside the area, email us for the address to ship them. We can’t pay for shipping, but we will send you a tax letter for your costs.
Thank you, everyone!
