KESSLER/NEWMAN WEDDING DONATIONS
Dear Friends and Family of Gloria Kessler and Paul Newman,
We are so honored that Paul and Gloria have selected City Dogs Rescue to be a part of their wedding registry. City Dogs Rescue is a 501(c)(3)-pending (tax information below) nonprofit organization run completely by volunteers in the Washington, DC area. This organization was founded when three individuals came together to help animals at high-kill shelter find loving homes in the DC area. Since September 2011, City Dogs Rescue has rescued and adopted out over 50 urgent dogs, many with just days or hours left at the shelter. Donations are essential to the success of City Dogs Rescue because of the costs involved in rescuing. Many people do not realize that animal rescues must pay to "pull" a dog from a shelter, even when the dog is already on the shelter's euthanasia list. Expenses to City Dogs Rescue include shelter fees, veterinary care, vaccinations, microchip implants (to aid in finding a lost dog), spay/neutering, and transportation fees. While CityPaws, a veterinary hospital in DC, graciously provides City Dogs Rescue with significant discounts on vet care, City Dogs Rescue does not receive the same types of discounts when working with the vets in the areas surrounding the local shelters. City Dogs Daycare, a separate entity, donates space for four or more dogs, and other rescues dogs are placed in foster homes throughout the DC area. For more information about our work, please watch our video to see our 50 dogs adopted on the right. Thanks for considering donating to City Dogs Rescue in honor of the marriage of Paul and Gloria. -City Dogs Rescue Team |
