Special Update on our Fur Angel Tree program
Head on over to our blog to read a summary from RGDR Volunteer, Julie Clark, on the huge success of our Fur Angel Tree program.
The importance of Special Events to our group
Special events are Real Good Dog Rescue's ways of generating additional revenue that assists us in paying for regular and extraordinary veterinary care for our animals and supports the operations of our group. In addition to veterinary care, we incur expenses for preventive medications (heartworm and flea/tick prevention), food, grooming, and assorted other things. Adoption fees alone don't begin to cover the expenses associated with rescuing and fostering an animal till it's adopted.
We always have a lot of fun at our special events. Our dogs and puppies get extra exposure to a different audience and we have the opportunity to raise much-needed funds to allow us to help more good dogs and puppies.
We have regular adoption events virtually every Saturday and sometimes on other days. Visit our upcoming events page for dates of our upcoming adoption events.
