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.

Donations needed:   The support of local veterinarians is vital to any rescue group, and we are very fortunate to work with two clinics that offer us a discount on services; however, veterinary care for our foster dogs is still extremely expensive. Rarely does the adoption fee for a dog cover the expenses that have been incurred. If you are considering making a financial contribution to SBRET, any amount is welcome, or you might wish to make a specific donation to cover any of the following expenses:

Donation Menu

$140 - Spay/neuter, inoculations, microchip, heartworm and fecal check for one dog
$50 - Gas card to defray a small part of the transportation expenses: rescuing dogs from surrounding counties, transporting dogs to the vets, home visits, or transporting dogs to other rescue groups
$75 - Dental cleaning for one dog
$15 - Heartworm and flea preventative for one dog for one month
$5 - New collar and leash for one dog
$30 - Worming one dog with appropriate medication
$30 - Grooming (usually total shave down) for one dog who comes to us severely matted.
