Endless Thanks & Gratitude
Thank you to all the incredible longstanding champions and newly made friends that joined in efforts to shoot for the stars for the animals at Tails at Twilight. Tails at Twilight was a tremendous success on many levels. Not only did we revel in the life-saving mission of the DRHS, share stories of compassion and transformation, and celebrate our extraordinary community, we raised lifesaving funds ! The funds raised at Tails at Twilight are unquestionably necessary to deliver on our mission, maintain our no-kill status and create new pathways home for the animals at the DRHS. Tails at Twilight saw an extraordinary outpouring of support, whether in the form of a gift for the auction, the giving of talents the night of or raising paddles high during Paws Up. This collective support in turn directly benefits the animals at the DRHS through the delivery of compassionate care, the stewardship of the human-animal bond and the manifestation of warm homecomings. Thank you for the exceptional support from all of us at the DRHS!
Thank you to the following Tails at Twilight sponsors for their fantastic support in making this event possible.

Kirkwood Community College
Vet Tech Program Partnership
We are excited to announce that we’ve recently partnered with Kirkwood Community College in conjunction with their vet tech program. A handful of our adoptable dogs were selected to participate in a semester of one-on-one training and learning with the students. Throughout the semester, the dogs are trained in basic obedience and exposed to experiences, such as bathing and grooming. Additionally, the dogs aid their student partners as they learn many of the skills needed in their future careers. When the semester ends, each of the dogs is given the chance to earn their Canine Good Citizenship award, giving them an extra boost on the way to being adopted into a loving, forever home.

Working Cat Program: UPDATE
The DRHS Working Cat Program provides an alternative to euthanasia for healthy and active cats that are not suitable to be adopted into a traditional home environment. Recognizing that there are a variety of roles a cat may play for a family or business, working cats are placed at farms, warehouses, feed stores, garages...where a balance can be found for the health and care of the cats, adopter needs, and the health and safety of the community and environment including wildlife. Since the Working Cat Program started, we have successfully adopted out 16 cats into the program! If you or someone you know is in the market for a working cat, please give us a call at 563-582-6766!
