Busy Saturday: Wines For Canines & Fido Fashion Show Fundraiser

 

Wines for Canines and the Fido Fashion Show are a collaborative event put on by local rescue, Animal Friends of the Valleys to raise money for their shelter. On Saturday the sold out event took place at Wiens Cellars Winery in Temecula and featured a silent auction, to which we donated one of our custom hand drawn portraits to one lucky bidder, raffle prizes, a live auction, food and wine, and of course a dog fashion show. 

Our foster dog Snoop made his debut in the Fido Fashion Show, where he rocked the house in his very own rebel hoodie and stylish Diesel collar. All dogs in the fashion show were dressed to the nines and available for adoption. Our mister Snoop dog didn’t find a forever home yet, but we are kind of in love with him so we don’t mind.

The event raised over $10,000 for Animal Friends of the Valleys and we are super grateful to have been apart of such a pawsome fundraiser.












Snoop Dog

 

“Saving just one dog won’t change the world, but surely it will change the world for that one dog.”

Never has a foster dog so captured our hearts as our current little man has. His name is Snoop and he is absolutely one of the sweetest dogs you will ever meet. We work with the foster program at our local shelter, Animal Friends of the Valleys, to provide a good home for dogs that need a little extra love and care beyond the normal scope of the shelter. Knowing our love for Dobermans Animal Friends asked us if would be interested in fostering Snoop as soon as he came to the shelter, and our obvious answer was “absolutely.”

He has since been neutered and is beginning to put on weight, although he hates to eat. (Update 3/7/13: He is now eating regularly with no problem!) Up We are trying our best to have him eat 2 cups of kibble three times a day but despite his skinny stature we have to sit right by him for every meal to encourage him to eat.


We have fallen hard for this sweet Dobe, no doubt. But we are still hoping to find him the best forever home where he will get lots of attention and love. If you are in the Southern California area and are looking to adopt a wonderfully loving Doberman, Snoop is your dog. For any questions and/ or adoption inquiries please email us at woof@crazyrebels.com. 

Snoop’s Story: Snoop was brought into Animal Friends of the Valleys as a stray. He was definitely someone’s pet as a puppy as his ears have been cropped and stand nicely. He loves people so he was indeed taken care of at some point.

Health and Stats: Snoop is estimated to be about 4 years old. His teeth are healthy, his coat is beautiful, and he has a nice crop job. He is a red Doberman with a white patch on his chest and the sweetest brown eyes. He is still very skinny but gaining weight nicely and is otherwise healthy and happy. 

Temperament: This guy is incredibly lovable, gentle, and docile. He will sit with his head in your lap for hours; all he wants is to be loved. He adores having his ears scratched and would let you pet him all day. He is low key, enjoys walks, and loves his squeaky Kong toy. He is very people friendly, but a little on the timid side. Snoop is crate trained and sleeps in his crate at night. He does well in the car too. 

This dobe has a whole lot of love to give!

Change a Pet's Life Day: Our Story

Today is the nationally deemed Change a Pet’s Life Day. We work on a daily basis to make all dog’s lives better, that’s why we started a dog company, but we love to make a difference by changing the life of one dog at a time as well. And that is why we foster dogs. We figure, we have three dogs already, so what’s another dog (or two, or eight).

Our local animal shelter, Animal Friends of the Valleys, works with it’s foster families (that's us!) to place pets that need a little extra love and care in an actual home environment until they find permanent owners. When we heard Animal Friends needed a foster family for a momma and her seven new puppies, we took one look at that sad pile of fur and instantly agreed to take them home.

It was fairly chaotic for a couple weeks, with ten dogs under one roof, but we successfully weaned Seven from her puppies and began to socialize all those little ones until they were old enough to be adopted. Seven became a part of the family. We gave her breaks from her litter and took her on walks with the rebel pack. After a little over a month living with us all eight dogs, including momma, went to a pet adoption event where to our excitement they all found forever homes.

Helping an animal, even if it's in a seemingly small way, fills the heart with so much joy and compassion. We only wish we could take in dozens more dogs all at once. For now we feel so privileged to be able to help one (or eight) dogs at a time. Aside from fostering, we like to think we change our three dog’s lives every day by giving them the best possible dog life, but who are we kidding it’s these dogs that continually change our lives with their unconditional love. 

We’d love to hear your story, how have you changed the life of a dog?
