THANK YOU LIZ for volunteering to foster our most fragile guests..momma's and their litters.  This is one of the most important programs we have at TCRAS as it allows our neonates to mature in a healthy environment.  We know that it takes a lot of work to foster litters and we thank you for your commitment of time and love!!


Volunteer of the Month Pet Pick

Bubba came to us as a transfer. He was abandoned at a vacant textile mill in Alabama and we are blessed to have connected with a group who rescues these dogs who were left to fend for themselves (216 to date). We can only imagine what his early life was and because he most likely had limited human contact, he is working on his manners. He tends to bond very quickly with people and wants to be the center of attention. He will need a home that is willing to commit to continue his training and give him the love and safety he so richly deserves.  Bubba would be a good candidate for an experienced dog handler that would be willing to foster or adopt him. Please help spread the word to find this sweet boy a forever home or a foster.

TCRAS is thrilled to be chosen as one of the home town charities for the Subaru Share the Love Campaign. Heuberger will donate $250 to TCRAS for every new vehicle sold in December! Please designate TCRAS if you are in the market for a new Subaru!!
