Gerty the one-eyed Shih Tzu roamed the countryside of SE Minnesota for nearly a year before she was found. Romeo the one-eyed toothless Chihuahua loves the ladies, but lost his true love to an assisted living. Blanche the Poodle spent the last twelve and a half of her thirteen years breeding at a puppy mill and now she just wants to rest. Gerty, Romeo and Blanche are the outcasts of the canine world lucky to have found Small Dog Rescue of SE Minnesota, and now they are looking for their forever homes. Sad stories still searching for their happy endings.
Small Dog Rescue is a local all-volunteer organization which allows all the donated funds to go directly to the rescued dogs and the services they need.
On Saturday, February 23, Small Dog Rescue will host a Chocolate and Wine Spectacular at Johnny Mango’s from 6p-9p. Apollo will bring the wine, Dove will bring the chocolate, and chef Johnny will serve the appetizers for $15 a ticket ($20 at the door).
“Eighty-two percent of all money raised is spent on veterinary care to ensure that every dog in the rescue is spayed or neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and examined for any other health issues prior to adoption,” says staff volunteer Karen Beaver. “Aside from medical care, your donation may go towards transporting a dog from a high-kill shelter to a welcoming SDR foster home, or providing professional behavioral help for dogs saved from puppy mills, hoarding situations, or other traumatic lifestyles.”
Border Collies, Yorkshire Terriers, Basenjis, Pomeranians, Dachshunds, Schnauzers, Bichon Frises and Buddie and Ollie the Chinese Crested Powder Puffs (inseparable) are all looking for laps to call their own.
There are two adoption events upcoming:
•Date: 2/9/2013- 11am- 2pm
Location: Rochester Feed & Country Store at 5 11 1/2 Street Southeast Rochester, MN 55904
•Date: 2/16/2013- 11am- 2pm
Location: Chuck & Don’s in Bloomington at 8417 Lyndale Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55420
Or, to purchase tickets for the Chocolate and Wine Spectacular in advance, send check or money order to: Small Dog Rescue of MN / Wine 2404 13th Ave NW Rochester, MN 55901. Email erin@smalldogsminnesota.org or phone Janet at 507-251-1657, or visit their website http://smalldogsminnesota.org/index.cfm
