Dear ALIVE Rescue friends,
Hello, friends!
It's me, Meatloaf. They let me do the Pupdate this month 'cause I wanted to make sure you know that in addition to pups, ALIVE Rescue has cats, and there are so many cat cuties right now!
What's my story? I arrived at ALIVE Rescue through the CRISP Program, and now I'm looking for my new forever home. I'm a little shy at first, but I love getting chin scratches. Once I get to know you, I have a very sweet and patient disposition, not to toot my own horn.
Want to know more about what's going on? Read on!

Volunteering
Congratulations to Karen Smilie on being chosen as ALIVE Rescue's July Volunteer of the Month. We have truly enjoyed the time you have spent helping the team and will miss you when you move! Thank you for taking pups on field trips, donating to our Art Dart, transporting a baby duck for ALIVE Rescue, showering all the animals at the Barn with love, and spreading the word about ALIVE Rescue. We are so grateful you were a part of the family, even for a short time.
From Karen: Thank you so much! The pleasure was all mine. I truly loved the time I spent there and will miss everyone-dogs and people alike!

Fostering and Foster of the Month
Fostering is free, flexible, and saves lives. Yes, we really do provide everything! Thanks so much to Sasha Armstrong, our July Foster of the Month. We are so grateful for all you do for our pups!
Sasha has gone above and beyond for Jupiter and we don't know what we would do without her help. We know he's happy and loves Sasha dearly. He's so lucky to have her in his corner!
Thank you, Sasha! We are so happy to have you in our foster family!

Sponsor of the Month
Thank you so much to Christopher Caya, our Sponsor of the Month!
Chris was looking for a way to consistently and directly contribute to an animal's welfare. ALIVE's Pay It Paw-ward program seemed like the perfect fit. He began sponsoring on behalf of his mom, as a gift. She loves the monthly updates on Lily and won't let him forget to forward them on to her! What Chris likes best about being a sponsor is the constant reminder that there is always something more he can be doing in life to make a positive impact on the life of a dog, cat, or any animal in need. He has a 4 year old pit-mix named Fletch and a cancer-surviving three-legged cat named Irene. What Chris thought was just a sprain in Irene's right forelimb turned out to be bone cancer. Luckily, it was isolated to just her limb and with surgery she would be okay. After an adjustment period of two years, it's like she never missed a step. She's as playful and affectionate as ever. Oddly enough, she's taken to eating her dry food by scooping it out a piece at a time with her one front paw (a very fun feat to watch).
Thank you, Chris, for being an ALIVE Rescue Pay It Paw-ward Sponsor!
Got more money than time? Put it toward a good cause and help these pups! Then go get a treat, 'cause life is ruff and you've earned it.
Sponsor our pals!
