Success

WCRR was at the petfair in Cloverdale this past weekend and our booth was wonderful. There were a ton of people coming by, buying stuff, asking questions, giving us feedback and expressing their pleasure at finding a rescue dedicated to Rottweilers and Rottweiler crosses. Some of them expressed surprise at the range of kinds that we have helped but sometimes it’s not so much about the breed, but about who is in need.
I will confess to not doing well at organizing this fair. Actually I did very little but rather handed over the work to our wonderful board of directors. They all stepped up to the plate and made sure that this was a great success. I am proud of them and humbled by their actions. While I may be the only one of us that can handle the fur portion of the rescue, without them doing everything else, we wouldn’t be able to do anything. Thank you so very very much.
We had wonderful donations from many different areas.
Sue from Tandy Leather on King George Hwy again sent in some spectacular items for sale. This time she included belts with matching collars, collars and leashes and the most wonderful key fobs.
There were homemade Xmas decorations made by Sandy up in Smithers, B.C., a beautiful wreath by a great young lady named Bailey, bag holders and bottle covers made by a woman in Cloverdale . All great stuff donated to help the dogs in need.
There were tons of gift bags, stockings and baskets filled to the brim with dog items that were donated. Lots of times we hear about rescues not working together. And yes, sometimes there is bickering among us but most times we work together. When a local rescue received a large donation from Anipet they shared with others. We were so blessed to be part of that. Thank you so much German Shepherd Rescue for sharing.
