Welcome dachshund Buster to the daily walkies. I've been walking pittie Mattie for a few years. Buster has been barking at me for months, but now that his momma is working longer hours, he needs to go out too. Once l get his leash, he stops barking and is happy to walk. 😊

Time to celebrate our moms and dog moms with our latest fundraising raffle to help a few more special rescue dogs in need. This raffle is to help with the medical expenses for our 2 new seniors English Setter Dumbledore, Yellow Labrador Charlie and younger Pointer Geralt. All have some serious health issues but all 3 are getting the TLC they need in foster care.

We have a lot of nice items - many of which were donated to the rescue this past year and we hope to raise $1500 with this fundraiser. Tickets are $6 each and this raffle will go through May 4th and the winners will be drawn at 7pm. Tickets will be mailed, and copies of the last-minute tickets will be emailed prior to pulling the winners. Also winners will be announced on IBR Facebook and via email and I am happy to ship to some special moms if shipping cost can be reimbursed. Many items are not shippable so winners will have to arrange to pick up at IBR HQ in Wood Dale, IL. Good luck and MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU!!

***WINNER MUST PROVIDE PROOF OF BEING OVER TWENTY ONE YEARS OF AGE FOR BIRD DOG WHISKEY PRIZE***

During my spare time- I have been sewing some face masks I hope to fundraise with. I hope we sell a few- paws crossed. Take a look! https://www.ebay.com/itm/333631945048

In an effort to help raise funds for Illinois Birddog Rescue, I started making face masks with my Singer sewing machine. The pattern requires cutting out 6 pieces which was ideal for my smaller bandana pieces.

I just sent $200 in supplies for the new little birddog mix family in MO, and each puppy will be sent home with $200 in proactive antibiotics when they move to Foster to Adopt. Multiply that X 7 and that's $1400 in medications alone. The adoption deposit often helps with that, but we also need to do 2 more puppy vaccinations, rabies, heartworm testing and a CBC/chem and our tick panel besides a spay and neuter when they are old enough. We are lucky to break even on puppy adoptions- but at least our little babies will have the best care. How about a year end raffle! Let's do it in my sweetheart Buckwheat's memory.

Here are my new friends in EGV. I had the pleasure of taking care of this fun little pack for a few days. Sophie the Mastiff is the youngest, Bella the tan Pit is the oldest but they all play well together. Sophie has had cherry eye surgery 3 times and I am hopeful Dr. Hanover can help with the next one.
