PAWS FOR CAUSE FUNDRAISING!


Hello everyone. We have  5 DAYS LEFT until Paws for Cause! Please help support the animals! There are alot of us that have adopted our dogs/cats from the Vernon SPCA. It doesnt matter if our dogs were in an abused situation...found...seized....surrendered...or born at the SPCA! The bottom line is that they are there for the animals that need them, and allow us as the public to find the perfect dog for our lives.

Please help by donating! Every little bit helps! Even if its only $5.00. We are a little behind this year when it comes to fund raising...but don't let that stop us from kicking some booty!

Lets show everyone how its done! Please either donate or join our team! Hope to see you all out at BX DOG PARK this Sunday!

Monique & Aaron...and all of our furry friends!

Here is the direct link to support us!

http://bcspca.convio.net/site/TR/PawsforaCause/General?px=1227709&pg=personal&fr_id=1175

The top fundraiser for our team/page will receive 7 days of day care for their dog for free! Good luck!

Looking for forever homes


Zeus (on the top)
Alot of you have met Zeus, our little German Pincher. He was rescued in December of 09 and has been residing with us. With alot of emotion, we have decided that we should find Zeus a forever home. Where he is number one. He is such a sweet guy, loves to cuddle for hours, and loves to play with other dogs. He is approx. 25lbs but is not a prissy dog. He is just fine going on a 2 hour hike or laying around the house. He is best known for the noises he makes when he gets comfy and is sleepy.

If anyone is interested in our little devil, please contact us.
Monique 250-550-0390 monique@therufflife.ca


Tilly (on the bottom)
Everyone...Meet Tilly! She is looking for her forever home. She is approx. 1 yr spayed female. She has been residing at The Ruff Life for approx.2-3 months. She is a really sweet and loving dog, but she is very active. She needs someone who will take her to the dog park, or on hikes...camping..etc. She is really great with dogs, people and kids. Please contact me if you have any questions about her.
Monique 250-550-0390 monique@therufflife.ca
 
Both Tilly and Zeus are looking for forever homes, so only serious inquiries please.
