We are working on starting a series of doggie meet ups in the new dog park. They will be on the last Saturday of the month, probably starting in March. The time will depend on when it gets dark, how warm it is, etc. but we'll have it posted on the website in advance and send out notices to anyone wanting to be on our mailing list. Stay tuned for more details on our website!

These will be mostly about dog people getting together, sharing stories with each other and dog info, as well as rescues networking, having the public meet foster dogs for adoption, and having fun! Picnicking, maybe speakers from time to time, and some dog games. Should be a fun way to just have a low key, easy time with other dog people!

We are trying something new in dog fostering. Not everyone has the ability to take on a foster dog, but many people can commit to having a new dog at their house a couple nights a week. This is the idea in our "Big Brother/ Big Sister" program. Much like in the human version, these people help the foster dogs develop relationships and trust with people, They also learn house manners, socialization, and other skills that will help them to get adopted. It is a lot less of a commitment than having an extra critter around 24/7 and it does a world of good for the dogs! Plus, these people become advocates for that dog and help talk him or her up to the people they know and spread the word about their wonderful and furry friend!

– Less commitment
– Greater Adaptability
– Greater Exposure for Adoption

And don't forget, Do Dah Day is coming Saturday, May 15th! We are already working up a fun float! Hint - I'll be a storybook queen with a BAD attitude!
