Pooch Plunge Success!

Some 200 dogs took a dip in the Pool today at the Fur Kids Foundation Pooch Plunge and plungers helped us raise over $1,050! Thank you so very much! Photos are posted to the Foundation's Facebook page (in the 2016 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 submitted by attendees -- 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 80% 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 10 at CAM-PLEX Park for more paw-tastic 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. And, a HUGE shout out to the volunteers and board members who helped us run this event: Andi, Lynn, Fawna, Tiffany, Crystal, Leah, Erin, Jordan, Laura, Elise, Diane, Donna, Val, Cassie, Mary M., Tara, Cody, Robynn, Linda, Mary L., Shannon, Greg and Britt! If you're interested in volunteering with the Foundation, please complete an application.
