2nd Annual Benefit

Posted by Unknown at Monday, January 27, 2014
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.
