Happy Thanksgiving! Tessie is reflecting on this past year and all the great things that have happened to her! She was rescued in the spring sick and severely underweight, without a safe place to live or anyone to look out for her. But over the last 6 months she's gained weight, taken obedience classes, and is sooo close to finding her forever home (we can FEEL it)! And she has YOU to thank! Thanks so much to all of RDR's supporters, volunteers, and fosters for helping this Underdog find her second act in life! We couldn't do it without you! If you want to help support our mission, you can start at www.ruraldogrescue.com!

Jada says that meeting puppies is a great way to aid in post-Thanksgiving digestion. Better listen she seems like an expert! In order to help, she'll be outside Howl to the Chief (719 8th St SE) from 12-2 PM on Saturday with a bunch of her friends! So far, she's expecting Queen, Maple, Daisy, Phoenix, Copper, Little Bit, and Lady! Phew talk about a great lineup! Check out our stories on Friday to see the confirmed RSVPS!
