THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to all the amazing volunteers that came out that day to help out. Because of you we raised over $3,000 for the dogs are RMLR. A BIG thank you to all the Centaurus High School students who came out to volunteer that morning. Five percent of the profits of the race will be donated to CHS Marketing and DECA for their scholarship fund. Another thank you out to all the sponsors and vendors. Without any single one of you, the event wouldn't have been as great or as successful.

Upcoming Events
Saturday June 5th, 2010 from 4:30-6:30 at the Empty Bottle in Denver, Colorado
We want to help C.A.R.E. drink wine! Most of our fabulous RMLR dogs come from out of state with the help of C.A.R.E. If you haven’t seen a transport arrive, then it’s something you should do. To watch up to 50 animals come out of a van to Colorado to find their forever homes is so heartwarming! C.A.R.E. helps a wide variety of specific breed and other rescues with transporting animals. Please consider attending their wine tasting fundraiser. A suggested donation of $20 is greatly appreciated. You can donate online atwww.caretransport.org or donate the evening of. Please help us in supporting what they do!

 May Dog of the Month: Rodger
Rodger is very sweet and loving, loves treats and actually has a great energy level for his age. He is extremely loyal and just wants to be around the people. He's very friendly and patient and does whatever his master is up to. He adapts so well…whether to cars, or different houses, or crates, or long days alone, or days full of company. He's an absolute teddy bear. He is so great at adapting that he could fit into any family. He is so lovable! He would probably do well with a dog that isn't excessively energetic or aggressive.
Success Story of the Month: Dakota (now Morgan)
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to give you an update on Morgan (we have renamed him). He’s doing great and getting settled well! He did great Sunday night, slept through the night in his new home just fine. The boys and him are doing really good together – he does very well with them and is so gentle with them. And Christian (the 2 year old) and him a buddies. He is starting to feel comfortable here and learning that we will take great care of him. He loves going to the park and playing fetch with us – he gets quite worn out and then enjoys his naps! We do need some behavioral training – some leash walking, learning some basic commands, but he is already starting to learn some just with me. So we are all adjusting well. I have attached some pictures of Morgan with the boys!
I want to thank Carrie and Jessica for their help and support – you two made such a difference for us and I really appreciate your time and patience with me! Thank you!!! We will send more updates soon!
