Bonnie Blue Rescue

The Scoop:

Meet the luckiest pups (and cat) in the world. These pups, all 39 of them - have been rescued, vetted, and rehomed (or are currently in our foster care system). Several of these pups were rescued through Catahoula United Rescue Society, or CURS. For more information on Catahoulas, or to make a donation to support their rescue please check out their website at http://www.catahoulaunited.com/ .

The really big news:

As most of you know, I am in the process of starting my own 501(c)(3) (non-profit for those not in the know) - Bonnie Blue Rescue. After mounds of paperwork, Bonnie Blue rescue is finally in the "wait and see" stage - pending approval by the IRS. I don't anticipate any issues, but it's a little overwhelming all the same. THEN, once the official status is received I have to officially "move" the rescue to Virginia - a process than will take up to another month to complete. Ugh. It's exhausting, but totally worth it. Whenever I get frustrated I open my photo albums on my computer and look at all the lives we've managed to save in the past year alone.

REALLY BIG THANKS!!!

*This is probably the perfect time to give a shout out to Bonnie Blue Rescues greatest supporters thus far - Mary & Vaughn Groves. My parents have helped us tirelessly to get Bonnie Blue off the ground. They have fostered, vetted, cleaned up potty accidents, rehomed, shuffled around their lives for & helped save so many animals in this past year. For instance, without their generous funding sweet Lola would not have been able to have her life-saving surgery in the fall of '07. Thanks again, mom and dad - I know I'm the luckiest girl *

Wanna Help?

Bonnie Blue Rescue is ALWAYS looking for volunteers to foster, interact with our pups, take them to the dog park/adoption fairs/etc, help socialize our fosters. Many folks want to help, but don't have the free time to take on a foster pup - never fear ... there are many other ways you can help - checking adoption applications, updating our website, and the biggie - helping us find donors to keep this organization running!

That being said - donate, friends, donate! ;) People tend to think that little contributions don't make a difference - but they're wrong. Even a donation as little as $10 a month can help pay for flea/tick/heartworm for one of our foster dogs! It is easy to help - and easy to make a difference. Unlike many organizations who do not let you know where your donation goes - you can see your money "in action" through Bonnie Blue Rescue. Many donors choose to sponsor a dog - and volunteer to pay for that dog's vetting, spay/neuter, training, etc. Bonnie Blue Rescue will never make a profit, nor will it ever be able to pay it's volunteers - we exist solely on donation from outside sources. Help save a life today. Donations can either be mailed or made through PayPal - e-mail address: courtneysgroves@hotmail.com .
