Yes, it is that time of year again where I shamelessly ask my family and friends to donate to Guardian Angel Basset Rescue in my behalf. The picture you see is my beloved Elvis. He came into my life in 2003 at the age of 5 as a foster. Well, Elvis never left my home. Elvis went to the bridge on 12-27-10, taking a piece of my heart with him. Any of you who knew him can understand why. As with most rescues, the first 5 years of his life were very turbulent. He had had three homes prior to being resuced by GABR.

Please help me raise funds for an organization close to my heart. Guardian Angel Basset rescue is the largest single breed rescue in the Midwest. Guardian Angel rescues, provides full veterinary care, fosters and hand selects a home for over 300 dogs each year. GABR is more than a dog rescue as we have helped over 50 non-profits learn how to fundraise, run auctions and profit through partnership in our annual Corvette Raffle.

On September 17-18, 2011, Guardian Angel Basset Rescue is holding their 14th Annual Waddle. The Illinois Waddle is a weekend long celebration of the breed attended annually by over 1,000 bassets and their families. It is Guardian Angel’s primary source of funding. I raise money for the rescue of Bassets because a Basset Hound has touched my life. They are truly wonderful, loving dogs that have made my life so happy.  I support Guardian Angel through the Basset Waddle as GABR is comprised of hardworking, exceptional and committed volunteers who are dedicated to helping Bassets in need. It’s the kind of group I want to support – that’s why I WADDLE!!

I count on the support of fellow dog lovers, our families, friends and business associates to provide healthy, happy lives for every dog that we rescue.
