Playing Card Contest

Welcome to this week's edition of The Doxie Blog! This week, we've been busy making moves with many of our doxies. We'll tell you more about them soon, but first, we have an announcement! The big news this week is that the "Dealing a Better Hand" Playing Card Contest is open to entries! You can enter your pup's picture for a chance to be on a playing card!

Is your pupper the Ace of Spades, your dox the Queen of Hearts, or perhaps your little one is the joker in the pack? Now is your chance to ante up and show us your pal’s best poker face! The 40 photos with the most votes will appear on an individual card in a deck of playing cards, with the top 4 vote-getters appearing on a face card of their choice. The photo with the most votes will also be featured on the outside of the box! Entering is $10 and all entries raising more than 50 votes will receive an official deck of DRBC playing cards. Just look at some of the entries we received this week!

Hi! My name is Sammy. I love to run and play ball but my most favorite thing of all is getting a belly rub. I wasn't wanted by another human because I am very shy,but my mommy loves me and I her.

Odie is a sweet dog he loves to cuddle up under blanket and play with his toys. He loves to go for rides in the car and going on trips to the doggy store and the park.

Please take a moment to go visit the contestant entry page at http://www.gogophotocontest.com/drbc and browse all the cute pictures! Start flipping through those photos of your pup now...we know you have a few good ones to choose from! Entering is easy, and only takes a few clicks! Enter today!

As we mentioned earlier, it's been a tough week with inbound pups, and we've been really busy making sure they are all safe, warm and settled. We've moved over 20 doxies these past 2 weekends. Sadly, several of them had been found wandering or had been purposefully left out in the elements.

​Andy and Barney's owner passed away just weeks before the storm. These older guys were out out in a corner of the yard and managed to survive the recent blizzard. 

Andy and Barney survived the blizzard.

Dexter and Dee Dee were also inbound this week. Dexter and Dee Dee almost didn't make it. They were dumped due to a bitter divorce. Frightened and in need of vet care, they are now part of the DRBC family. We will get them the care they need and find them thier forever home. 

Look at those pupper smiles!

​Bob was found wandering after the most recent blizzard. Posters were hung and the authorities were contacted, but no one was looking for Bob. The folks that scooped him up from a busy road could not keep him. He had nowhere to go. Well Bob is here at DRBC now. Safe, safe, safe!

Kyla needs emergency surgery.

Want to make a difference? Follow our Paypal link and help all these inbound pups get a new collar, harness and tag. Nothing like a new set of things to begin a new life. Hope you can help Gang!

This week, we have a Red Paw Update this week on Kyla. We hate emergencies. We see so many of them. This past weekend we took in a little one in very bad shape. She has blood leaking from her teats. We need to move quickly and are asking your help today to get her the surgery that will remove the tumors causing the issue.   It breaks our hearts. She is so sweet and loving. She needs this second chance.
​
We are reaching out today to ask for your support in our effort to save Kyla. The months of neglect will take a tremendous about of medical skill and time to reverse.   She requires blood work, ultrasound and surgery ASAP. It does not sound like much, but we have been given an estimate of $2,225. It is a lot and we cannot do it without your help.


Please help us to help Kyla. We know she can make it back and we know someone will fall in love with this little one, despite her issues, but today that seems like a far off goal. Please send her that all-important message of love. We desperately need your donations. Follow this link to join Team Kyla and donate today!

SMILE OF THE WEEK

We 2 Gold Paw Alerts this week. First, it's exciting news for Chloe & Lucy. These two little ones waited 11 months for the right family to meet them, but today they are home forever and being loved. Next up, it took many months for Grendy to beat his heartworm disease, but he was no sooner cleared by our vet team when he found his forever home! We are so excited to see this little boy happy at last! Please join us in congratulating these pups on finding their furever homes! 

Well, that about wraps up this week's edition of The Doxie Blog. And now, here's our Cutie of the Week, Andy! Andy is an IVDD survivor, and we just love his sweet face.
