Thankful

Hello D.O.G.S. friends,

It's been approximately two years since Dogs Of A Good Society started, six months since we received approval for our 501c3 non profit status, and six years since a dream, wishful thinking and ideas became reality.  I am so thankful for all this progress, better yet the driving force behind D.O.G.S.-our amazing board members, volunteers and kind donors.  I am thankful.  Thankful for the organization and its heart; it's mission and vision.  It took much work, sweat, a few tears, no blood thank goodness to get D.O.G.S. up and running.  You may have remembered from my past blog posts, that there were challenges in the beginning and being alone.  I don't feel so alone anymore.  I am not alone, because there is YOU.  

D.O.G.S. has had the opportunity to grow slowly, but surely.  With growing comes growing pains and I am thankful for those as well.  From organizational growth, budget woes, lack of  resources/manpower, to name a few-am thankful for it all.  For the ups and downs, the achievements and the snags you run into as an organization, the accomplishment seems so much sweeter.   Balancing life, family, social time, self care, the organization is no easy task.  A task I am still working on mastering; multi tasking and time management.  It never ceases to amaze me how much time is needed for it all.  As much as I love D.O.G.S., enjoy its challenges and what it stands for.  I know, realistically and idealistically I can't live, eat, breath it, but I have the passion for it.  Isn't that what counts first?  Passion.  Find what's your drive and passion and it becomes easier.  Of course there are many challenges, but they don't seem like uphill challenges when it's something you love.  They are welcomed. 

So for this week's blog we wanted to say THANKS, not just for Thanksgiving, but for EVERY DAY.  I am thankful for all of you kind and generous donors, volunteers, partners, collaborators, members, friends, animals, and family.  We at D.O.G.S. are thankful for you.  

D.O.G.S. is part us and you for supporting us in our mission.

Until next time,

Join the Pack and help us help ANIMALS in need!

Give To The Max!

Greetings everyone! :)

It's been a few weeks since our last blog and we apologize for keeping you waiting!  We have been working on a few projects that has been keeping everyone, including myself extremely busy!  Trying to organize it all and prioritize all the happenings, projects, events, schedules, timing has been a bit of a challenge for me.  I am working on improving my time management skills, multi-tasking skills, among others.  It is a constant learning curve and I am constantly learning on better ways to operate Dogs Of A Good Society and ways to be a better example and leader for the organization.  I suppose I got what I wished for, forever being in 'school' and being a forever student! hehehe ;)  More to come...

With that being said, I have learned, we as a team have learned the many different opportunities we can be a part of since our non profit 501c3 status in May.  We get the privilege to be a part of Give To The Max day here in Minnesota.  A great chance to be a part of the movement to 'ignite generosity' in Minnesota on a small to grand scale.  Giving on one day, with perks of giving, with matching donations as something we could be a part of and much more.  Please consider giving to D.O.G.S. today and schedule a gift with www.givemn.org your gift will go a long way and we will make sure every single penny counts!  Over the past year, we have tried to the best of our abilities to reach out to animal organizations to let them know we are here to help.  We can help multiple organizations and many animals all with your support and we are grateful for that.  As part of our passion in helping however and whenever we can!  Whether it be with rescuing supplies, foster supplies, funding for surgery, transportation, advocacy work, and much, much more.
