I headed out to Kamloops this last weekend to judge an agility trial. Lots happened, it was quite the jam packed weekend! First, Nula caught a ride up from Vancouver with Pacific Coastal airlines. Support these wonderful people if at all possible!!! They transport rescue dogs for free, can you believe it? What a wonderful company. So Nula arrived safe and sound (thank you again Claudine for picking her up from the airport and letting her hang with Steve for the day!) I will post Nula's picture in a bit, she had a wonderful photo taken by the event photographer that I am just waiting to get.Then, amongst judging and running dogs Sadie was adopted out to a young couple that had filled in their application the week before (networking is great stuff!). The home visit was done and off they went with little Sadie the sheltie. And THEN, the kamloops agility folks (5 star dog training and the bow wow sisterhood) had an agility tunnel and baskets raffle and raised a WHOPPING $680 for this rescue!!!! What an amazing group of individuals. And our good friend Chris of Contact Zone Pet supplies arrived with car magnets that say "I support Rescue" as a fundraiser for me too! Totally unexpected, the support is overwhelming and I am eternally grateful (as will be the vet clinic when I arrive tomorrow with a pot 'o cash to put down on the bill!)
Dogs adopted: 2
Dogs in: 2
2 dogs in? Yes, it is deaf dog week folks! This as yet nameless fellow is due to arrive next week. He arrived on the doorstep of some kind folks who live northwest of here. About 2 years old and deaf, no one is looking for him and unfortunately he arrived at a place where apparently people often dump their unwanted pets. I also had a request from the Burnaby SPCA to take on a deaf male bc/aussie mix that unfortunately I had to say no to since I already have Nula and this guy. Please spread the word, the burnaby SPCA has a deaf BC/Aussie that needs a home as well as a very cute little red cattle dog.
Phoebe has some stories to tell too, but I will let her show you her stuff at a later date. ;)
