Nearly 220 dogs plunged into the City Pool on August 26 at the Fur Kids Foundation Pooch Plunge! FKF is very excited to announce that plungers helped us raise nearly $1,400! We are so grateful for your generosity! Photos are posted to the Foundation's Facebook page (in the 2017 Pooch Plunge album) and to the Facebook event, so please feel free to tag yourself in them and share them with your friends. We'd also love it if you posted photos or videos of your dogs in the Facebook event so others can see how much fun it was. Below are some photos – enjoy! If you didn't know, the money raised at this event goes to help families with pets with emergency veterinary care. You can read about the pets we've helped in our Success Stories page. We are quite proud to say that roughly 75% of the money we raise goes to help local families with pets. Thank you for your support and we sure hope to see you at Pet-A-Palooza on September 9 from 10 am-4 pm at CAM-PLEX Park for more dog-a-rific fun!
We'd like to give a special shout out to the City of Gillette and Kay Friedlan and Micheala Cina with the Campbell County Recreation Center for letting us have this fundraiser at the City Pool. We also want to extend our thanks to Red Hills Veterinary Hospital veterinarians and staff for coming down to provide a free ear cleaning station to make sure your pets ears stay healthy after swimming! And, a HUGE shout out to the volunteers and board members who helped us run this event: Fawna, Daiton, Shannon, Tiffany, Crystal A., Crystal N, Diane, Donna, Mary M., Cody, Robynn, Linda, Mary L., Peggy, Felicia, Jill, Abbie, Melissa, Gillette Roller Derby, Bubba, Austin, and Conner!
