Art Paws Helps Pets of the Homeless in a BIG Way



“The Pets of the Homeless volunteers and I certainly enjoyed our day at Art Paws!  It was so fun to see all the breeds and talk with folks who had not heard about Pets of the Homeless.  Art Paws attendees on Sunday, July 20, donated 30 pounds of dog food, 14 pounds of treats, and 7 leashes to Pets of the Homeless.  We received $378 in donations from many compassionate people.”
 --Genevieve Frederick, Founder/President

This Year's Standout Organizations Awarded Art Paws Grants

Art Paws Underdog Grant Recipients 2014


Canine Rehabilitation Center 
and Sanctuary


(CRCS) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We are a
recovery center for dogs overcoming trauma such as abuse,neglect, long term confinement, lab testing, and other special cases. Our program provides rescue, recovery,socialization, training, and placement for dogs that shelters and rescue organizations cannot place. 

Our mission is "To inspire, educate and motivate the human spirit.  To save, nurture and love the canine spirit and to bring the two together to change the way the world views, rescues and
places homeless dogs."


Beating The Odds.
One Dog At A Time. 

 •Our program is dedicated to the dog that sits in a shelter for a year or longer waiting patiently for someone to come along and say "that's the one I want" only to meet the dog and then say "no thanks."

•We are dedicated to the dog that is unlucky enough to be a product of a puppy mill and live years in a cage, unaware of what it feels like to run free.

•We are dedicated to the dog whose owner isolated her in a yard for years and forgot to socialize her, stimulate her, and offer guidance.

•We are dedicated to the dog that is ill due to environment or age and doesn't have a family or home to call their own.
 
•We are dedicated to the dog that, because someone forgot to take the time to work with them,ended up in a shelter, adopted then returned then adopted then returned.


This program is for you and your precious doggie soul. We know you can do it, someone just forgot to show you how. We don't care about your size, your age, your breed, your past, or your condition. We just care about you. This is your chance to learn. This is your
chance to look up and say "hello world". Only we
think you should enjoy it this time around. And you will, we just know it. God speed my sweet friend. God speed.

By way of our committed officers, volunteers, foster homes, local veterinarians, and professional trainers, we seek to match dogs with carefully screened forever homes.

Chihuahua Rescue Truckee Meadows, Inc.

CRTM will utilize the funds from the Underdog Grant to potentially increase foster homes through social media, word-of-mouth, PSA’s and adoption event opportunities .  We will continue to seek other fundraising endeavors with various raffles upcoming so we will have a "small bank" for any emergencies that may arise.  Additionally, we will make improvements to the small Chi Haven "foster area" by improving the insulation and  increasing the yard size for them to play.  We will also repair the cooler and repair the leak in roof before winter.
