There is a new blog post by Chris on placement and sanctuary versus placement alone.

We have updated our list on our Thank You page, although it is still incomplete!   There have been so many supporters thru the years!  Much gratitude to all the people who really care about the animals and what we are doing and who support Real Rescue!

Merry Christmas and a Happy and Joyous New Year from Real Rescue to all our precious friends and supporters.  We survived the Blizzard of  ‘09 and are digging out like everyone else in Oklahoma.  Due to prior warning from our great weatherguys we had time to prepare as best we could for the onslaught.  Then with warming straw in all the doghouses, tarps to block the wind, good food, and fresh water, all are as comfortable as possible in this frigid weather.  By this time next winter we will have the building up for all the dogs that need to be totally inside!!!  That will be a wonderful thing.  We want to thank everyone who has lent their financial, emotional, and hard physical work to Real Rescue this past year !!!  We, and all of our animals, are most appreciative as we move forward into the New Year.  Thank you all and God Bless you all!

“In remembrance of Tazzy so that others could know what a great dog he was.” ~Chris

Tazzy, a beloved animal companion of one of our closest friends, Max, died last night.  Max says, for “14 years I was blessed to have him as my bedpartner.  I wish everyone could know such a perfect love.  You could see God in his eyes and love in his soul.”

Tazzy had heart failure, and his human friend was there for him until the end.  Tazzy finally died of heart failure last night in his best friend’s loving arms.  Chris says, Max “has been a steady emotional support, willing board member, and financial supporter of the Rescue ever since we have known each other. One could not have a  more loyal friend.”  And I know Max, Tazzy’s human companion, would say the same about his loving four legged friend and companion.  Rest in peace, Tazzy.  You are so loved.

One of the new kennels that we’ve set up temporarily until our new kennel building is completed. Thanks to those who donated new igloo houses and straw!

Dottie is one of four little pups that were rescued from a kill shelter on their last day.  Then they all came down with Parvo.  One died and the other three survived (thanks to Chris’ daily care and treatment). This is the little girl, “Dottie” and she is very sweet, housebroken, spayed, and has all her shots.  Pointer mix, young female, really sweet, and house-trained.  Very active but loves to learn.  If interested call Dana at 405-414-5651.  She would love a new home for Christmas!!!

TUX, short for Tuxedo, was a stray who was found asleep on a friend’s porch.  No one claimed Tux, so we took him in the Rescue.   He is a Border Collie mix and very mild mannered and very sweet.  He is neutered, has his shots and is heartworm negative and is waiting for a good forever home.
