Bake Sale
Thank you to all of you who purchased baked goods from our first ever Bake Sale! We held this bake sale as a fundraiser to raise money for the Dublin Creek Animal Foundation, the 501c3 non-profit organization we started which takes in and rehomes unwanted dogs and cats. We are happy to announce that we raised over $800 to benefits our animals in need! Thank you to all of our employees who pitched in! Special thanks to Janelle who did the majority of the baking, to Michelle for her wonderful fudge, Vicki for her dog and cat treats and Suzie Tripp who donated her wonderful treats! And, if you didn't make it out to get some treats, don't worry, we have another Bake Sale scheduled for December 19-23rd!
Our Adoptables
We have many wonderful animals looking for their forever homes. If you are looking for a new companion animal or you know someone who is, please tell them about our adoptables! Can't adopt but want to help? We are also looking for foster homes for these animals for the holidays. If you can help, please call the kennel! Here is a sneak peek at them, but please visit our rescue page for more information about our adoptables!

Adopting a Special Needs Dog
It has taken Boo Boo over a year to find a home and his brother Yogi is still looking. We aren't quite sure why it's taking Yogi so long to find his forever home, except to say that Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes are coming into the shelters in high numbers every day. With Boo Boo we knew why it was taking longer and were prepared to wait for the perfect home for him. See, Boo Boo is a shy dog and shy dogs are always a bit more challenging to find homes for because people are reluctant to take on a dog that is less outgoing. But, Boo Boo's owner will tell you that you should definitely consider it as in just a short period of time, Boo Boo and he have completely bonded. Hank, another shy dog, who was adopted a couple of months ago was also here for nearly a year while we waited for the perfect home to come along and boy did it! He was adopted by a family that is happy and willing to help Hank come out of his shell.
Michelle, our groomer, adopted another one of our adoptables several months ago. Cheerio is a long haired Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix, but he was born without front legs and needed a home where someone was willing to accept that and work with that. Michelle had a custom made cart made for Cheerio to help him get along better. Cheerio is a sweet and loving little dog who will start the Paws to Read program this month where he will go to the library where children will read to him. You honestly won't meet a sweeter dog than Cheerio but he was almost killed because of a physical disability that he can't help and that doesn't keep him from having a normal, happy life. Consider adopting a special needs animal. Dogs that are handicapped, older or a bit shy can make wonderful companions too!
Look Whose Been Adopted!
These are the animals that have found forever homes through Dublin Creek Animal foundation this month. We are incredibly proud of this as all of these animals were at great risk before we stepped up and took them in.
We are so happy that after over a year Boo Boo was finally adopted! His new family reports that he is doing great!
