Concession Fund Raising

Molly Royal shared the following update on this weekend's fund raising efforts:

"Just wanted to let everyone know this week-end we spent running the concession stand at Cindy Elliot's Agility trials in Groveland. She had a great turn out and we fed the masses... or at least it felt that way... Cindy has the nicest and most generous people that come to her events. Except for the gale force winds (a little chilly in the mornings) it was a nice week-end for us. We raised a total of $565.60 for the club and sold out of many items especially my brownies (and I made a total of 4 pans). Thanks to Mark & Kat Howard and John Royal for their time and donations."

CSX Donation

The rescue just received a check from CSX Corporation and the CSX Good Government Fund sent to us at the request of Shirley Farrell in the amount of $569.28. This is another great example of the many corporate programs we can leverage to continue our rescue efforts. A thank you goes out to Shirley, and all the other wonderful FGPC volunteers who help keep funding coming in.

Sage Update

A lot of hard work goes into each rescue from many people. Updates from adopters are always welcome, and help keep our rescue teams energized.

Sage, an LGD, was adopted in Decemeber. Her family reports she is doing well and is very fond of her new friend Cote.

Addy Success Story

Addy is one of 11 pyrs rescued from a shelter several months ago. Her adopted family reports she is doing well, and have shared a photo of their new family member peacefully lounging in the yard. Thank you to Addy's family for sharing the photo, and to all the members of the club (too many to list) that helped make a happy ending for Addy possible. Share on: Read more Add comment (0) Hits: 24

Rescue Update

There have been quite a few dogs entering rescue lately. Gathering up pictures and bios from foster families for the website takes a little time, so please be patient. If you have friends, family, neighbors, or even strangers that ask about your dog, let them know we have plenty of lovely dogs from which to choose for pets.

To keep our momentum going, the records show with everyone's combined efforts there have been 35 dogs to find their forever homes so far this year. Since it takes a minimum of 8 persons per dog to get them settled into just the right place, this means our club is really working hard and truly saving lives.

We have had several families step up to foster, opening their homes and hearts to help another Pyr. If you want to join this stellar group, please let Terry, Chantal, or Debbie know--your help will be very much appreciated! Tip: there is a brand-spanking new foster family in our midst because one of our members posted on their Facebook page that we needed fosters! Keep spreading the word!
