Thanks for coming to my fundraising page!  This year's Woofstock will be the biggest and best ever.  And I'm setting a goal for myself that is bigger than ever.  Would you help me meet--or even beat--my goal?

This year, I'm dedicating my fundraising to Maddie, the newest member of our family.  Maddie is a perfect example of why Steve and I are so involved with Rescue Village.  Maddie was surrendered to the shelter at about 3 months of age.  She spent the next 4 months there, waiting every day for her new family to find her there.  But they never came.  And for a young, energetic, smart girl like Maddie--who we suspect is a cattle dog/terrier mix--she learned how to make her own fun.  Getting out for 15 minute walks three times a day and spending the rest of her day in a cage, just isn't a life.  So, despite some training efforts by we Homeward Bound Trainers, Maddie got into trouble. 

She was on a one-way street that wouldn't have ended well, when Steve and I decided to bring her into our home.  Every day we are so thankful that she's here with us and the rest of our menagerie.  She's learning the rules, playing with The Boiz, chasing the cats, and making life in a 4 dog/2 cat household very, very interesting.  Oh yeah, and she's providing us with boundless love and lots and lots of fun.

There's so many dogs and cats with stories like Maddie's.  Many that don't end as well.  Please help me help Rescue Village make a difference as we work toward a world with No More Homeless Pets.  Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. 

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
