Bronx Finally Makes it to Wisconsin!
|
|
There's really nothing better than slowing down around
the holidays and taking time to reflect with family and friends. The
reality is that adoptions slow at city municipal shelters and fosters
take some very well-deserved time off. The shelters fill quickly
between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, and so TracysDogs decided to
double our efforts. In one month (December 22, 2013 to January 25,
2014), TracysDogs conducted three transports, covered nearly 7,000
miles and placed 62 dogs with their new families in Wisconsin (two
trips), and Santa Fe, NM.
Bronx (pictured above) finally made it to Madison, WI in January. He's
as big as a Volkswagen Beatle at only 14 weeks and to the delight of
his new parents, fitting in nicely at home. He's a lucky boy - his mother
came into TracysDogs very pregnant and she was nearly euthanized along
with the puppies she was carrying.
Bronx is now Wrigley (after his dad's affinity for Chicago Cubs
baseball) and living the life every dog should have.

Northern Virginia;
Here We
Come!
Each time we place one of our dogs into the hands of his or her
adopter, we regularly hear, "thank you for doing what you
do." And while the kinds words are very gratifying, the truth is
that without those of you willing to open your hearts, minds, and
homes to a rescue dog, TracysDogs would not exist at all. We know all
too well that nearly ever rescue dog has endured some form of
abandonment, abuse, or loneliness, coupled with poor nutrition,
illness and disease. At the end of the day, they all crave kindness
and love. We provide that to the best of our ability in a rescue
environment, but nothing matches the security and safety found in a
loving home. So thank you to all those willing to adopt a
rescue dog and "Thank You Northern Virginia" - we'll be
there on February 21-22 with the greatest dogs on earth!

It hard to believe that these dogs once faced the
imminent danger of euthanasia at a city shelter in South Texas. No one
wanted them - we know, hard to believe. These four, and many more, are
headed to Northern Virginia in February, and by the looks of the
applications flying into TracysDogs, soon you'll see each living in the
Northeast with a wonderful family.

Rescue
with Results
There is no question
that your support goes directly towards the rescue efforts at
TracysDogs. In 2013, we rescued 623 dogs, conducted 11
transports to Southern California, Minneapolis MN, Denver CO, Chicago
IL, Seattle WA, and Madison WI, and traveled more than 30,000
miles. Nearly 60 dogs were placed in excellent homes right here in
South Texas, and a number of dogs found permanent homes with their
foster parents.
Our program is highly organized, which means
dogs are adopted usually in less than two months. These extraordinary
results have been possible through the generous support of donors,
volunteers, adopters, fans, and followers. Please consider a donation
to TracysDogs. We are an all-volunteer group, so your financial support
simply saves lives.
