February, 2013 - Thanks to Natalie

Hi, my name's Natalie, I am 12 years old, and I enjoy volunteering at Furry Friends Rescue. I am a dog lover, (I have a chocolate lab, and we have fostered dogs for Furry Friends Rescue) and I love anything to do with helping animals. My birthday was coming up soon, and I was stuck on what to do for my birthday party. Then I decided to collect donations for the dogs at Furry Friends Rescue, instead of presents. I was so excited to help out, I could hardly wait!

As it turns out, the idea was a big hit with my friends, and everyone loved it! They all brought so many things, like treats, squeaky toys, bones, dog bowls, cash donations, and even dog shampoo. With some of the cash donations I was able to collect, I went out and bought leashes, collars, harnesses, food and treats, a small dog bed, and material so I could make blankets. After everything had been assembled, the donations were put in the right bags, the blankets have been tied, and we were down to our last cash donation to spend on dog treats. Everything was ready to go. In all, we had 5 bags and 2 bags of food. My family and I were so proud of what we had done for this organization.

I hope other people will read about this, and decide to do this for themselves. Trust me, it's a great feeling to know that you've helped out, to make the world a better place. Thanks my friends who helped me collect all these donations: Kelsey, Audrey, Chloe, Maddi, Aniek, Katelyn, Floor, Maci, Sydney, and Kaitlyn. Also thanks to Sam's Downtown Feed and Pet Supply, Unleashed Petco-Almaden, and C&L Blinds for adding their donations towards purchased items.

March, 2009 - Thank you Girl Scout Troop 60182!

Girl Scout Troop #60182 in Saratoga had a Pet Awareness Day on March 21, 2009. They collected donations of new and gently used toys, beds and food for all types of pets. They collected two barrels full of dog and cat items which were donated to Furry Friends Rescue to help the animals. The scouts invited other local troops to come and learn about pets—they had a veterinarian there, booths to make cat toys, dog charms, bird toys, and buttons. They also invited Furry Friends Rescue to come and share information about the adoptable animals and how rescues work. Many thanks to these girl scouts for all their hard work and dedication to support animals in need in our community!

Thank you Troop 60182! Thank you!

June, 2008 - Thank you Marissa!

Thank you Marissa! Thank you!

December, 2007 - Thank you Tango!

Furry Friends Rescue received a letter from the family that adopted Tango several years ago. They told us about a Christmas party they'd had at their house in 2006 where candles were used as decorations. Unfortunately a fire started from one of the candles hours after it had been extinguished. A not too obvious fire alarm went off and the family ignored it. Tango didn't ignore it though! He kept barking until the family woke up and came downstairs. What they found was flames reaching four feet tall and nearing the curtains which were next to the Christmas tree. In a few minutes, the house would have been up in flames. Sweet Tango had saved their lives.

Tango had a rough start in life but found a family to love him and he loves them!

Thank you Tango! Thank you!

August, 2007 - Thank you Juliana!

One of our wonderful Junior Volunteers, Juliana, chose to ask her birthday party guests to bring gifts for our rescue doggies and kitties instead of for herself!

Juliana brought bags of toys, treats, brushes, combs, and blankets to us after her birthday party! She also passed along checks totaling $200!!

Thank you Juliana! Thank you!

June, 2007 - Thank you Girls basketball team!

St. Joseph's CYO 4th Grade Girls basketball team who are parishioners of St. Joseph Church in Mission San Jose. For their service project, the St. Joseph's Cougars decided to hold a Shoot-A-Thon, with all proceeds going to a charity of their choice. They raised $750. The girls unanimously agreed to send the donation money they raised to Furry Friends Rescue to help many furry friends!

Each of the girls signed the letter by Tricia Yeh Petersen, Service Project Parent Coordinator and sent us their team photo.

Thank you St. Joseph's Cougars! Thank you!
