FRIDAY SHOUT OUTS – Giving Thanks!

The previous week was full of activity for DDR! Helping out the 61st Street Kennel dogs was on everyone’s mind. This venture had a happy ending – dogs were transported, bathed, shown, fostered and adopted! We couldnt do it all without the help of many, many people!

So, our newly adopted pup CHOCOLATE!!!!!! will do the honors this week!

Chocolate would like to extend a special thanks to Linda Hodges for the two wonderful PET BEDS she donated to DDR!

Special message from Lori Weise

Thank You to the Amanda Foundation, Retriever Rescue, Best Friends Animal Society, Heigl Foundation and Janet Cook from Angel’s Heart Dog Rescue and all of the foster people and adopters who came out last week to help us rescue 41 dogs out of the 61st Street kennel in a little over two weeks.

A monumental challenge for a small organization like Downtown Dog Rescue but we did it, with a lot of support from our volunteers and friends who came out to support us, transport, bathe, and take lots of dogs out to adoption.

We would like to extend a special thank you to Cornelius, “Dog Man” Austin who helped me assess over 30 dogs last Saturday at the 61st Street kennel.

FRIDAY SHOUT OUTS – Giving Thanks!

Here are our DDR Shout Outs for January 29, 2010:

Thanks so much to the AMANDA FOUNDATION for helping us get lots of dogs spayed and neutered at a very low cost. They have also helped us maximize our donation dollars when they treat our injured or sick dogs and the dog that belong to dog owners in our Operation Safety Net Program. They have brought out their spay/neuter mobile to two of our past events:

THANK YOU AMANDA FOUNDATION!

Every Saturday, it’s a fun party when DDR volunteers congregate and be part time handlers for the dogs we want to show for adoption. They are part of the DDR crew that we can count on to help Sandy, our Volunteer & Adoption Coordinator manage the different personalities, barking pitch and poo/pee duty at Petco every weekend. THANK YOU SO MUCH! DDR can’t do the adoptions without you!

Feature for the week: EFFIE CHANG

1) How long have you been doing the weekly adoption events at PETCO?

I think I started last year around June.

2) Is there a DDR dog that has been adopted that you still think about?

There’s actually quite a few. Sherman – his face is just unforgettable. Charlie – very sweet. China – very sweet also. Nike and Baby – these 2 siblings are the best. Mini/Cookie – I had her for 2 weeks but because of opposition from my Dad, I was unable to keep her. But she is in good hands; I know Rosalie will take good care of her. And to be honest, I think of all of them, and hope that they are happy and well taken care of in their new homes.

3) How did you hear about DDR?

Through my therapist.

4) How many pets do you have?

I had a Sheltie and a Siamese, both passed away of old age. At present, […]

FRIDAY SHOUT OUTS – Giving Thanks!

We here at DDR realize that without sponsors, volunteers, friends, good Samaritans, fans, fosters, dog trainers, adopter alums and good hearts – doing the work that we do, to help both dogs and people, would be nearly…impossible

So, every Friday, we want to take the opportunity to thank everyone involved who make it all…possible!

Of course, we want to do this with the help of our DDR dogs, (in the spirit of THANKING) adopted in the last few months!

Here are our DDR Shout Outs for January 22, 2010:
