Walk for rescues Hubby and I will be taking our Yorkie Audrey-Belle on a walk Saturday to raise money for non profit rescues. Wish us luck with this crazy Minnesota weather, and that we all make it. It's been a long winter and I don't know who's most out of shape. :eek: I haven't had time to get any sponsors so will walk and sponsor someone else who's walking.:rolleyes: |
I have never heard of that before, but it's a wonderful idea. I can imagine what your weather has been like as cool as it's been here off and on this spring. I hope you have decent weather Saturday.:) |
What a great cause! Wishing you a beautiful day! :love::love::love: |
It was cold, windy and raining so we left our baby home and walked around the lake in raincoats with umbrellas. I carried two 8X10 photos to show our rescues. One in memory of our Holly who we had to put down almost two weeks ago and one in honor of the rescue we have had for almost three years. Most dogs there were big, the small ones didn't walk but stayed in blankets. I hope alot of money was raised! |
It's too bad it rained. If it had been a warm day, I'm sure it would have been a lot more enjoyable and raised more for the rescues. |
It's a shame you had bad weather! It's the thought that counts. I am doing an SPCA walk tomorrow from 8am-noon, should be fun. Weather is supposed to be gorgeous. |

That's how I felt too. People could have enjoyed the walk around the lake, had lunch etc. They handed out goody bags when you registered that had people and dog treats in them for the walk. The area is beautiful too. All the rescues had tents set up with info, free stuff and things to buy. But some people made a donation and left, others donated, walked and left like us. Very few brought their dogs and walked them due to the weather. The turn out was nothing like we hoped for. I'm sure the donations could have been much more with sun and warmth. However today the wind is blowing harder and we had snow flakes! We lived in AZ for years and didn't do outdoor things due to heat. There is no Utopia. lol |

I guess there is going to be a 3 day yard sale this month to help raise money. Another rescue I donate to will have 2 yard sales, one in May and one in June. |
