Shelter Rescue Challenge: Take 2! -- S.A.I.N.T.S

The shelter challenge is back up and running again! But since Turtle Gardens won last time, we are unable to win this time - we have to wait for the next one.
However, a major part of us winning the last challenge was because of S.A.I.N.T.S rescue! They won the challenge before us - and were in the same situation of being unable to win, so sent all their votes to us!

SAINTS is a rescue sanctuary in BC, Canada, that rescues and re-homes(if they can) senior and special needs animals, and gives them a sanctuary to rest and relax in for the rest of their days.
Some are able to find new homes with other families, leaving spaces for new animals to come to SAINTS! While many others will spend the rest of their life there being loves and taken care of because they are unable to be re-homed, which means many expenses. This challenge can help with those expenses and give more animals (such as dogs, cats, horses etc) a chance at a great life! :)

They are a great rescue and they really helped us out the last round! Please help us support SAINTS rescue by voting for them everyday in the Shelter Challenge!

Link is here: Shelter Challenge

Search under Canada, BC --> then go to page 5 and you will find SAINTS rescue!
After you vote for them once, they will automatically appear below the search bar for you every time you visit the site!

They are in second place and are only behind by about 2% of votes! It only takes a few seconds - no signing up or anything! Please help and VOTE! And share this to others and ask them to vote too!

Thank you!

January's Dog Run!

Today I helped out with the January Dog Run!
It was great and running like a well oiled machine! As the foster parents/adoptive parents came the dog was taken from the barn to get fitted for collars and leashes, then moved to the "photo area" to get a little photo session, then went home! :)

Many super cute and adorable dogs were brought down to go to their new homes, or into foster care!

All the dogs that came down are super great! They will be added to petfinder soon!

Zipper would make a great agility prospect, or running partner!
Taryn is a "velcro-dog" and loves people!
Frankie is a very sweet little girl!
Sunny is a great girl, and is very obedient!
Sandy is a sweet happy-go-lucky girl!
Cheddar is a little bundle of energy! :) He loved Copper! Hehe!
And Phillydelphia is a sweet girl that has a prospective family but is going to a foster in the meantime.

Piper was taking some great photos today for us!

If you go and "like" Turtle Gardens Facebook page you can see the updates and photos as they come in!

It made me miss fostering for sure! Maybe if school isn't turning out to be too tough later in the semester  I could foster, but I will have to see... I have to be realistic as I need to make sure I am still getting good grades, even though I'd love to have 5 dogs at home :P
I at least cannot wait till the summer when I will for sure have time to foster again!

Will post more soon!
