This past Saturday we headed out bright and early to Conyers, GA to volunteer at the Georgia Jack Russell Rescue. Members helped to lay new hay for the dogs, construct shelter to help keep the dogs warm in the winter, raked leaves, and helped to exercise the dogs. It was a very productive morning! We also delivered items from a wish list for the rescue. Members raised money to buy the items through Taste of Suwanee and a dog wash. We plan on visiting this rescue again in January - more info to come. If you would like more info on this rescue, please the website: http://www.jackrusselladoption.com.
Here is a message sent to the sponsors this morning from Donna Durham, who runs the rescue:
"You should be so proud of your group and I know you are!! Those girls worked so hard and what great team work!! They are all so sweet. I cried as I looked at all the wonderful gifts you brought to our rescue. The girls worked so hard to earn the money and then to spend it on our rescue. I felt so special and the dogs were so excited as I gave them bones yesterday. They have sweaters today and it is so cold.
Sally was so impressed with the girls. She thinks a lot of young people today do not measure up to your group. She is right!! The girls are so wonderful. I am so proud of them!!! They just jumped right in and went right to work.
You have no idea how much that meant to me. It is a very emotional month for me and your group made Saturday really special for me and the doggies. Please let each and every one of them know how special I think they are!
I have to tell you Peyton was so worn out he just laid in his house the rest of the day or he was lonely you left without him!! One day I would love for all of you to come out not work and just have a fun day playing with the dogs."
