Sharing The Wealth

We have so much acreage, 21 total that we decided that we should share the wealth with the community and reached out to the Rose Wolf Wildlife Rescue. This rescue raises abandoned fawns and releases them in the wild. They had been looking for a piece of property for quite a while but were not having any luck until we invited them to come see our little slice of heaven. It was a perfect match!

They are working on clearing out the dead scrubs and opening the area up for their sheds and equipment. They have fencing, sheds, and everything they need to move in and get started. Best yet they have  herd of goats that they use to feed the fawns goats milk. Those same goats can help us keep our acreage clear and help with fire prevention.

So now when you come to visit you can visit with the Rose Wolf volunteers and help feed baby fawns too while you love on our pups.

Donations for the Building Fund go straight to building the Sanctuary. Thank you for your support!

For the months of June and July every $20 donation towards the the Building Fund you will get 10 tickets towards winning a weekend for two at the new Sanctuary including 2 night stay, dinner and breakfast for two at our favorite restaurants.

Just send in a donation marked “Building Fund” before July 31 and we will be announcing the winner at the Annual Picnic on Aug 10th in Santa Barbara.

Champagne, Tea and lots of Goodies!

DSCF8769Hi! It’s me, Lulu. I got all dolled up and took out my tea cup to tell you about an exciting event Second Chance Cocker Rescue is hosting Sunday, December 13.

From 12 to 2 at the Daniel Gehrs Winery in Los Olivos, California, we will be serving champagne, tea and scones. I’m going to try to get me a few of those scones! Dee-lish!

We will be selling a wide variety of amazing items for you or as holiday gifts. And guess what, it is all going to Second Chance Cocker Rescue to help even MORE dogs like me!

Clara’s Amazing Christmas Present

Clara was a stray at the Turlock shelter when we met her. She was sad and felt a bit hopeless behind bars but quickly picked up her spirits when we pulled her and popped her into a foster home. She needed Cherry eye surgery and to be spayed before she was ready to go home with anyone but she attended a couple of adoption events in Sacramento with us while waiting for her surgery date.

That was where she was spotted by Elizabeth and Bill from Folsom. They immediately felt a connection and although they were not ready to bring a dog home they wanted to help her. They spoke to Joann and found out that her surgery was going to cost over $500 and they pledged on the spot to pay the whole thing.

Clara had her surgery. She is in recovery and will soon be ready for a new home. Clara’s guardian angels, Elizabeth and Bill will be watching to see this little darling gets a good home.  We are deeply grateful to Elizabeth and Bill and humbled by their generosity.

Donations in Honor of Clara, Elizabeth and Bill

Santa Claws Photo Events and The Holiday Street Fair, This December

Sacramento

We will be participating in two holiday theme photo events this season.  Petsmart is furnishing the equipment and Santa suit.  We are providing the labor force (yeah volunteers!).  The first event will be on December 10  th. at Petsmart, 1738 Watt Ave. in Sacramento (CANCELLED)  and the second will be on December 17 th.  at Petsmart, 2705 E. Bidwell in Folsom.  Both sessions will be held from 11 AM to 4 PM.  We hope a lot of our friends will bring their fur covered (or hairless would work too) companions for pictures with Santa.  Each picture will cost $9.95 and Petsmart will donate $5 of that fee to Second Chance.  So come on out, do a good thing, and have a photographic record of it.
