From Real Rescue,Inc, November 2011
Special 2011 Thanks
 
 
For Chad Deaton for coming almost every week for 8 years and doing all the hard things that need doing.
For Richard Rogers and Kyle Bailey for keeping the sanctuary animals thriving.
For Sheila Abernathy Wilson who keeps us legal and does all our tax accounting, and who I always turn to when I have a special need. 
For Kitty Hayes who does dog food pickups at Belle Isle Walmart.
For loyal volunteers in general like JoAnna Gordy and her children, Vera and Jorgia, Tanya and her family, Rick for weekend feeding, and Juan who kept the place mowed this year, and for those that came maybe once or twice, whose names escape me right now,  but who did their part to help many animals live better.
For Dr. Leticia Touchstone and Dr. Kimberly Weiss for all they did to protect and prolong the lives of animals at Real Rescue Inc at much reduced rates or free of charge in some cases.
 
For individual donors, like Max Edgar, Harley and Anne Venters, Wanda Venters, Nancy Delong, Val Miller, Lucy Shields, Debbie Smith of Frontier Bank, Barbara Bates, David and Eileen Echols, and those employees whose gift at work is matched by Morgan Stanley investments. 

For the financial aid from the Combined Federal Campaign and everyone who contributed through their federal employment payroll. 
For the Lockhardt Foundation that provided us with our first indoor facility and helped us keep going with end of the year expenses.
For the Community Foundation that have an In Memorium Fund which contributes each year in honor of Nancy and Harley Venters.
For Ken Wert at General Materials, who provided over five loads of sand and gravel for the kennels. 
For chain stores like Walmart and Crest which donate food weekly.
For Italinos which provides produce.
For large suppliers like Merrick Foods and Mars Inc that gave pallets of food.
For Fabrice de Villeneuve Studio that donated art works for sale.
For Psychoarts, Greg Feil for providing web space, and his wife Coertje for updating the website and helping with our Petfinder space.

There are so many ways people help and so many people that help every day. The A to Z store, for example, whose owner discounted his tarp price to help us better prepare for winter, so nice, and so spontaneous are such gifts. 

And a special thanks for everyone who provided a home to a dog or cat, or fostered a dog or a cat up for adoption at RRI.

Thank you all, I bow – and wow to all of you in 2011!.  And our very best for a bright and successful 2012.

We are so very grateful to all the people and places who have donated funds, food, products, items and help over the years!   This is a just a partial list at this time.  These are just some of the people whose support has helped us keep Real Rescue Inc. going.
