WCare was formed to support The Last Resort and other rescue groups by utilizing the technology skills of the students to promote animal rescue. Fred Maltzan teaches the necessary technology skills and supports the children in their efforts. The students create digitally edited videos to draw attention to the unique qualities of each animal and aid in their adoption. Through the club the children have become highly involved in rescue and have branched out from their original mission of providing tech support to seeking donations, participating in rescue events, educating their community, fostering dogs and yes, even adopting rescue pets of their own. All have become passionate about rescue and plan on staying involved even during their summer vacation.

If you are interested in starting your own Rescue Club at school, please let us know and we can help you get started!!

Yesterday, June 16, 2010, was the last day of Rescue Club and everyone received the above certificate.

Picture this....we had 6 dogs coming off a 2 day transport and going into our usual boarding facility...or so we thought! On a Friday night, we called to let our facility know we were coming with our dogs and we were told their policy had changed and they were only allowing a total of 5 rescue dogs (all rescues included) and couldn't take our dogs!!!! We were having a complete meltdown.....at 6 pm on a Friday night, we had absolutely NO WHERE to put 2 puppies, 2 geriatric (one blind) cocker spaniels, an adorable 6 year old border collie, and one gorgeous labrador retriever all saved from death row that were arriving any hour. We called the Clip Shoppe in desperation, never having spoken to them before! SOMEONE WAS CERTAINLY WATCHING OVER US because Sandy, the owner, not only answered the phone, but welcomed our motley, travel weary guests with open arms, and waited for our transport until 11 pm at night! She drove all the way back to her facility to meet us, in the pouring rain we may add. Fortunately she had a special area to quarantine our babies away from her own guests, and set them all up in beautiful, clean, large kennels, providing them with a loving hand, comfy beds, fresh water, and some outside time to run around and stretch their legs. All of this for a rescue group she had never heard of before. This woman's heart is pure gold! Not only that, but the very next day she had all 6 dogs groomed, nails trimmed, ears cleaned, de-flea'd, smelling and looking beautiful..it was a doggy makeover!! ...and the cockers weren't a quick groom we might add-they were a mess! She also had our scared little puppies already coming out of their shell; instead of cowering in the corner they were beginning to run and play together outside, jump in our laps, and overall made the entire group of dogs feel safe and welcome. How can we ever thank someone enough for doing something like this? There really is no way, except to say thank you thank you thank you, from the bottom of our hearts and the tip of our doggies paws, to Sandy, her husband, and her awesome crew at the Clip Shoppe!

We also have to add...that NEVER have we been so impressed with a facility such as this...it was so dog/cat friendly, and clean, and smelled so good you would never know dogs were housed there, every inch was organized and all about the animals and their safety and comfort. From now on, we finally have somewhere to send all of our adopters when their doggies need a grooming or need to put their precious babies in boarding for awhile with out any need to worry about their well being. Every dog there is clearly well cared for and loved on.....From people who would not ever think about boarding their dogs...we would board them there in a heartbeat!!!

SANDY YOU TOTALLY ROCK!!

Some of our drivers are hot air balloon enthusiasts and they let people go inside their balloon at the Warren County Farmers' Fair for $1 and all the proceeds went to The Last Resort. She the great photos below!! Thanks Mary Beth & Dick!! What an awesome family you are!!!

Dear Samantha & Last Resort,

You are most welcome! We look forward to continuing to help Last Resort with fund-raising in the future!

The credit for what was accomplished at Warren County Farmers' Fair also goes to those wonderful individuals who are part of the World's Best Balloon Crew: Sue & Dave Lee, Kenny Adamsbaum, and Dave & Andrew Zuckerman. On that hot July day, they are the ones who joined us to make this very special fund raiser happen!
