Fundraising Part One: A Noble Cause

For many, a love for animals translates into a passion to help further a just cause on their behalf. Whether that cause is a hands on approach to saving lives or a more indirect approach through education or legislation, there is no denying that animal advocates are dedicated individuals. Passion is the driving force behind any noble endeavor, but without structure and means, those wheels will soon be spinning and you will be running on empty.

At this point everyone is well versed in how the current economic climate is taking it’s tole. More pets abandoned, less adopted. More to do, less funding to do it with.

Dog Days: Content in Coeur D' Alene

Driving close to 1,500 miles in three days wore me out. That and a rash that I determined to be an allergy, which required Benadryl, made me even more exhausted. The 170 or so miles to Coeur D’ Alene felt twice that, but we made it.

I had planned on staying at a budget motel off the freeway, but once I got a view of Coeur D’ Alene lake, I thought, no way. If you’re here, you gotta do it right. So I drove along the east side, praying to find a cute little lakeview hotel for under $100 a night, so we could just sit and look at the water.

  • Keep Your Pets Cool This Summer

    It’s 90 in the shade. You have locked yourself out of the house and are trapped in your very secure backyard. Your spouse and kids are gone for the day. Your neighbors are out of town on vacation. It’s hot - very hot. Even in the shade, you’re sweating bullets!

    When there is not a shady tree in sight, or you don’t want to leave the AC on all day long, what better way for a hot dog to stay cool.

  • A Guide to Starting and Running A Non Profit Organization

  • Xena

    7 month old female Pitbull Mix. Xena is the epitome of a pitbull puppy. She loves to play, and has to be with you all of the time. She is very well behaved, and house-broken. She loves people, and hasn't met a dog she doesn't like. She is assertive and submissive at the same time, and walks well on a leash. She loves walks, trips to the dog park, and playing fetch. She also likes to snuggle. A lot. She really needs a home that has the time to raise a young pitbull though. She is very young and needs to continue her training. She would be a wonderful addition to any family that is willing to love her, and give her the attention that she needs.
