"Paws" to Celebrate


This year New Rattitude hit a very exciting milestone: rescuing our 1,000th Rat Terrier. For those of us volunteering for the group, it was a pretty revitalizing event that spurred us on to work toward that 2,000th dog milestone.
Salish and Apple: NR rescues number 1,000 and 1,010
As you may know, New Rattitude is a very fiscally responsible, 501(c)3 designated rescue group, that has even earned the right to be a GuideStar Exchange Member.  Our adoption fees are kept as low as we can to help with finding families, however, the costs of caring for the dogs, especially their required vetting like spay surgeries and vaccinations, exceeds the adoption fee.

For the most part we depend on fundraisers and the generosity of our supporters to help us continue the work we do, giving new, happy lives to thrown-away dogs.  Each December throughout the holiday season we have a holiday giving campaign and this year the goal was to raise $5,000. I'm happy to say we are very close to that goal as we enter the last week of this holiday fundraising campaign.

Can you help us meet this goal? Even $10 would help us - that would pay for a Rabies vaccination!  Any amount is greatly appreciated.  Head over to New Rattitude's Website to learn more about this great fundraiser.

I'm sorry to come begging on Christmas day, but the New Rattitude's mission of rescuing homeless pets is a great thing to beg for. And hey, if you give this week you can deduct it from your taxes!

Thank you so much for all your support for this great cause!
