Partnerships

Greetings! :)

We at D.O.G.S. are grateful for partnerships with amazing groups such as PPR (Pet Project Rescue) http://www.petprojectrescue.com/.  We were present and ready to assist animals in need at PPR's recent adoption event at Urban Tail http://www.urbantailspetsupply.com/  
We wanted to spread the word about D.O.G.S., support PPR and offer food and supplies to people who were welcoming a new furbaby home!  

We got to meet so many wonderful rescue animals:

Sweet kittens ready for their FUREVER home

Bernice-3 year old chereta Japenese Chin mix, loves cats, dogs and kids, very sweet and friendly and so mellow-rescued from an animal felon home

Sweet kitty, very friendly and mellow 

Giovani-1 year old Beagle mix good with kids and other animals and loves to play

Suzy-4 month old lab rescued from Mexico, she also has a brother named Stewart who is just as sweet

There were lots of kitties, all so sweet and waiting for their FUREVER home.

There were more FURBABIES available for adoption so check out PPR's website http://www.petprojectrescue.com/

We hope to be present at adoption events regularly to offer support and supplies, be on the look out for us.  If your rescue would like to partner with us contact us at dogsofagoodsociety@gmail.com 

Until next time!

Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

Greetings everyone! :)

Time sure flies!  The end of October will mark a year since Dogs Of A Good Society has been incorporated.  We have worked hard on getting our IRS 1023 non profit status application submitted over this past year and now we are just waiting for the results.  We are also gearing up for our first Annual Meeting this week with our board members.  One of our requirements each year to continue to have D.O.G.S. up and running.  

Looking back we have worked on:

• Fundraising
• IRS 501c3 application
• Providing donations and supplies
• Data base for fostering, resources, etc
• Networking
• Social media
• Outreach
• Most of all assisting animals however we can, please help us pass the word that we are here and we are here to help :)

In the past year I have learned a tremendous amount from a non profit start up and I look forward to continuing to learn more and more every day.  D.O.G.S. has been a career and life changing experience for me and I wouldn't change anything about it.  I am very blessed to be here and to see D.O.G.S. grow.  It's become not only D.O.G.S. mission to assist animals, but my life mission.  And to think it all started with these two little furbabies...:)

Stay tuned for more to come!
