Some of you might have seen this pic already.

Capturing a special moment in my home following our SWEET 16TH BEAGLE BASH FOR CASH on Sunday.

Sometimes, the most beautiful and meaningful things happen without thought or planning.

Every year, after the BASH is over and all the hard work leading up to it is done, I prepare my Thank You Message to all of you.

I typically include fun pics of the Big Day while doing my best to explain what your support means to us.

But this picture of one of our volunteers embracing Forever Foster, David S. Pumpkin, says it so much better than I ever could.

We rescued David last October, as you may recall. A heartbreaking neglect case. He was double the size, chained to a balcony all day long, never walked, painful glaucoma left untreated, with little to no human contact.

Until now.

This is what you do for our repair shop.

Time and time again. Especially when times are tough.

And you never disappoint.

With on-line donations in support of our beloved annual Event still coming through, we can proudly say we've raised over $10K!!!

 ***We truly hope the spirit of the season will inspire even more support. It's been one tough year. This has helped tremendously in rebuilding our foundation, but we need to ensure we get through the winter --- not only so we can maintain the high level of care for our senior beagles in our palliative care program, but so that we can save even more beagles in need without hesitation.  

So if you couldn't make it to the BASH but want to sweeten the pot for our Beagles, please don't hesitate to make your contribution today…THANK YOU
