Shoe Drive in Full Swing

Welcome to this week's edition of the Doxie Blog! Our big story of the week is our Shoe Drive. We are conducting a shoe collection drive March 15th through May 15th, 2016 to raise money for our medically needy dachshunds. Our organization will earn funds based on the number of pairs collected as Funds2Orgs will purchase all of the donated goods! We can't miss!

All donated shoes will then be redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgs network of microenterprise partners in developing nations. Funds2Orgs helps impoverished people start, maintain and grow businesses in countries such as Haiti, Honduras and other nations in Central America and Africa. Proceeds from the shoe sales are used to feed, clothe and house their families.

We are very excited about the shoe drive and knowing that Spring cleaning is right around the corner for everyone, we know this should be a win-win for doxies in need and people in impoverished nations. We welcome you to pack up those old shoes, sneakers, sandals, boots and clogs and get them to a DRBC drop spot in the DRBC region. We currently have over 400 pairs towards our goal of 2500. Think about donating today! Thanks for helping!!

Pink Paw Update - Arthur - Our other big news of the week is Arthur's 25th birthday. Wow Arthur!!! Arthur is a Grandpaws foster here at DRBC. Friday was the big day, and he enjoyed a big celebration with his foster family. Arthur is doing really well. He's still getting into mischief in true doxie style, and loves to keep his foster family on their toes. Happy birthday Arthur, we love ya buddy!

Mint Paw Update - Coco - It is hard to believe that Coco is able to smile after all she has been through. This beautiful little doxie mix has been neglected and tormented, yet she remains loving and hopeful for a better tomorrow. What a sweetie. Well she is safe now and will soon be ready to find her new forever home.Want to welcome CoCo to the family in a special way? Follow the link and help her get a new collar, harness and tag. Nothing like a new set of things to begin a new life. Hope you can help Gang!

Foundation Update - Precious - You may remember little Precious as the most recent doxie that DRBC helped recover from IVDD. She and her mom were attacked this week while out walking, by a large dog with no collar and no leash. While she is safe and healing, she sure took a beating. Look closely at her chest you will see the bruising and her eye was hit as well. No surgery fortunately, but her Mom was left with an outstanding vet bill, and lost the end of her own finger as well. Can you help us to help them? It is all so distressing. Even if her Mom sues, it is unlikely that the individual with the dog has the funds to pay. Please think about helping out a little today. Just follow this link to donate. Hang in there Precious [and Mom]. We love ya.
