The Second Annual SBRET Garage Sale was a great success. April 19, 2008 started a little rainy, but we still had lots of shoppers. They had plenty to chose from since this year's sale was HUGE with lots of families donating items. Proceeds from the sale will go for vet bills for the many fragile puppymill dogs we've rescued recently. They required lots of medical care, TLC and time to heal before being ready to go to their forever homes. We are thrilled that all left over items were donated to another rescue group that is planning a garage sale in a few weeks.

On Saturday, March 15, 2008 SBRET provided pet parenting tips at the monthly Pet Parenting class at Young Williams Animal Center. We would like to thank all those who attended the event and especially YWAC for giving us the opportunity to share information about small breeds. Topics covered included pet obesity, crate training, house training and how to choose the best pet to fit in with for your lifestyle and current pets. Binky and Pansy were our official people greeters and both thoroughly enjoyed all the attention they received during the class. Although this was not the usual pet-filled event, we do have a few pictures from the event.

In January the Monroe County Animal Shelter took in 100 dogs from a single location where dogs were not cared for properly and allowed to multiply making the situation even worse. The dogs were placed with rescue groups and adopted from the shelter. SBRET supported the shelter by taking 4 dogs and collecting some much needed supplies to help care for all the extra dogs.
