We are very excited about our latest newsletter. In this issue we cover our Ruby Slipper Gala, which was a blast. We also introduce two new sections: Ask the Vet and Ask the Trainer. In addition we cover one of our favorite dogs, Hope!
Speaking of favorites, our volunteer highlights are none other than Judy Kautter, one of our most important volunteers, and Annette Anderson who does a great job on our social media. We also could not be happier to announce that DogGone Natural has helped us to forge a new pet food partner, Annamaet! We also had a big win in the Sandwich Madness contest, thanks to Rebecca Cooper.
On a sadder note, we pay tribute to two very special volunteers we recently lost, Teresa Edwards and Kim Wilson. There is no way we can express how deeply we miss them; we still can’t believe they are gone.

Take a moment to let that sink in … “a group of volunteers” … without your help, none of this could have happened!
