In Remembrance of Tazzy

December 11th, 2009 · Uncategorized

Tazzy

“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.

Dottie would love a new home for Christmas!

December 6th, 2009 · Uncategorized

DottieDottie 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!!!

November 28th, 2009 · Uncategorized

Tux -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.

Happy Tails Numbers for 2009 so far

November 25th, 2009 · Uncategorized

RRI volunteers have been looking at our year end numbers of adoptions for our Happy Tails.  Of course we still have December ’09, but thus far we have found permanent, loving, forever homes for 44 dogs and puppies, 4 cats and kittens, and of course, not to be forgotten, three (3) pot-bellied piggies (no easy task !!!!)

Our numbers are  lower than in years past since Dana Spence-Venters, who is our main placement person, 
has not been able to place much this year compared to previous years since caring for an elderly parent since April…..so numbers are somewhat lower than usual. But we are happy to have found forever homes for and placed at least 51 animals so far in 2009!

BIG NEWS FOR REAL RESCUE – BUILDING PLANS FOR NEW KENNEL BUILDING!

November 22nd, 2009 · Uncategorized

Members of the Real Rescue Board met today, at the Rescue, and finalized the plans to procede for the FIRST NEW  INSULATED  KENNEL  BUILDING.  After a slight delay, we are back on schedule and will meet with our contractor tomorrow Nov. 23 at the Rescue.  We are so grateful to many wonderful supporters, especially this generous supporter, for her on-going financial and emotional support.  She is a great lover of animals (and people), a sincere and honest friend.  We now also have many new fence panels, dog houses, and rolls of fencing for temporary kennels while the building is going up.  We did not realize the amazing group of friends, family, supporters that we have accumulated over the years.  When we asked for help to get our building up before the cold weather really comes, they responded in a manner that still has us standing in amazement.  Our love and thanks to every one of you…..We will keep everyone posted and announce our grand Public Opening when it is a bit more imminent.

Anyone who wishes to contribute to the building fund may do so.

Beautiful Valero, another Happy Tail, loves to attack new owner’s feet under the covers LOL

November 15th, 2009 · Uncategorized

ValeroThis is Valero.  So named for the service station parking lot where he was rescued by a caring person.  Kevin came out the door and there sat “Valero” looking up at him and asking for help.  Kevin rescued the small, starving kitten and brought him to Real Rescue.  After lots of good food, good medical care, and plenty of love, Mr Valero has now found his forever home with a wonderful nurse who loves him very much.  We are so happy for the little guy with the tough start in life !!!!  Thanks Kevin !!!
