2nd Annual Benefit

Posted by Unknown at Monday, January 27, 2014 0 comments
Good Afternoon everyone! :)

Thank you to everyone who were able to make it to our 2nd Annual Benefit at Honey in NE.  We appreciate your support, generosity and coming out in the cold!  Thank you to everyone who donated their time, efforts and donations to us, without YOU we would not be able to assist animals in need.   Honey http://www.honeympls.com/ hosted a great event for us with amazing food and very helpful staff!  Take a look!  Pictures courtesy of Becca, our awesome photog! :)



It was a perfect space for our event with plenty of parking!



 Our Mission and Vision-..."to assist animals in need..."



 Our Silent Auction and Pre Set Sales tables-100% of proceeds go directly to helping animals!
Thanks to so many who donated their time and talents to make this happen!
We had several baked goods, services up for bid (photography session, makeup session...)
Various items to support us-THANK YOU!



 The people behind D.O.G.S. who make it happen.  I am so grateful to work with these talented and passionate people!


It all started with "...if one of us has an organization to help animals we're going to work with each other to make it happen...."  Susel, D.O.G.S.'s VP and my "partner in crime" :)



My girls who help me whenever and wherever and provided some great baked goods; visit Sueets Bakery!




An assortment of delicious food at Honey...



The crowd of support!




My impact speech!
With YOUR support we were able to provide:
 Over 1000lbs of food to animals in need these past few months.....
Over $1000 dollars in direct cash funds, supplies, and assistance....
Had the opportunity to collaborate with over 9 animal organizations....
Built partnerships with animal organizations....
Participated in the Breeder Bill action....
Worked on advocacy such as, Is Your Dog Cool (hot weather advocacy for pets)
and so much more!

This upcoming year we look forward to providing more supplies, funds, and support and focus more on advocacy issues.  Building more partnerships and continuing to collaborate with animal organizations.  And most of all working with YOU!  Pass it on!



D.O.G.S. puppy chow thank you take home treats!



We at D.O.G.S. really just begun getting the ball rolling these past few months.  Last year we heavily concentrated on building our foundation by recruiting awesome, quality board members to carry out our mission.  We also worked diligently for over 8 months to submit our IRS application for C3 status and we are still waiting on the results after 5 months of date of submission.  Fingers crossed! :)


Until next time everyone, stay warm and keep your furbabies warm too!

If you see an animal suffering in this cold weather do not hesitate to call 911 or 311.

Monthly Happenings Part 2!

Posted by Unknown at Wednesday, January 15, 2014 0 comments
Hello everyone! :)

Don't forget about our Monthly Giveaways, where every month we give some goodies away to an animal in rescue.  This month's Giveaway is winter themed, in light of this cold weather we are having here in MN.  Send us a picture of an animal in rescue in winter gear or having fun in the winter and the furbaby could win a prize and also be highlighted on our FB, Twitter and Instagram.  


Send us a pic today via email dogsofagoodsociety@gmail.com , FB @ Dogs Of A Good Society or Twitter @ D_O_G_S_MN 




Be on the lookout for our Spotlight Pet of the Month too!  If your organization has an animal in rescue that is a senior animal, been in rescue for awhile or has special needs let us know and we would love to help out by highlighting the cutie to help find a FUREVER home :)



JANUARY'S Spotlight Pet of The Month is PICKLES from TCPR, here he is hanging with our VP! :)



 About Me: I am a wonderful little guy. I have a very endearing, goofy boy. My tongue hangs out of my mouth most of the time because I am missing a lot of teeth (but no worries - I still eat and drink just fine - TCPR even has me on a diet!). I was recently released from a commercial breeder to TCPR. I am a little shy when being handled, especially when being picked up. I am learning what it is like to live in a home, and so far I love it! I have met other dogs and cats and I do very well.

Until next time,

Stay warm

BRRRRRRR it's cold in here, get your furbabies some gear! :)

Greetings all!


BRRRRRR it's cold here in the Midwest! Below 20 or so brrrrrrrr

 D.O.G.S. is preparing for our cold weather festivities, we wanted to remind everyone to bring your animals inside, keep them warm, get them some cold weather protecting gear and don't forget about them outside!  If you see an animal outside in this weather help the furbaby out-call 311 or 911.  A couple of weeks ago one of my neighbors forgot their little doggie outside and we brought him into our home until we could reach the owners.  It's that simple, they were happy we did and they honestly just forgot about their furbaby!





I know my furbabies paws get really cold when we let them outside to potty so we have to put some doggie boots on them.  It really helps, they may take some time to get use to walking in them but they do work! :)  Check out Urban Tails Pet Supply http://www.urbantailspetsupply.com/ in Mpls for some gear; they are local, family owned and support rescues! 



Until next time...

Stay Warm!
