A big thanks to Becca's Barkery for generously donating gourmet dog biscuits to our rescue. We usually have one or two dogs in our bunch who turn their nose up at treats, but in the case of Becca's cookies, all have enthusiastically enjoyed the treats. These cookies are all natural with no preservatives. If you'd like to try them for your dog, contact Becca at 417-746-1116 or visit her website at www.beccasbarkery.com.  Every time you purchase this product, Becca donates a percentage of all profits to support the welfare and care of rescued animals.
 
 

A donation of $200 has been made in the name of Larry and Eleanor Freund.  These funds will be used to help with vet expenses for "Emma", a Yellow Lab puppy we rescued who has two broken back legs.
 
John A. Heitz has contributed funds enabling the purchase of a Sony Vaio laptop computer. This wonderful tool will be used for coordinating animal rescues via email, grant research and writing, website maintenance and the production of signs and newsletters.
 
$100 has been received from Barbara Joyce, Renee McKelvie and Jerry Angle. This gift has been used for the purchase of pet food.
 
Thanks to everyone who makes our work possible.
