people about border collies, rescue and the importance of neutering
your dog. We raised money for the rescue and spent hours amusing
visitors with the antics of our lovely foster dogs.
Thanks
to all of our wonderful volunteers who staffed the booth, paraded
rescue dogs around and talked to people until their voices gave
out. What a great weekend!
Thank
you to Alison, Cheryl, Dana, Dove, Hilary, Joanne, JoDene, Sandy
and Soctt for staffing the booth throughout the weekend!
HUGE
CONGRATULATIONS TO RUEDI AND HIS SIDEKICK MAGGIE MAY, A TDBCR
RESCUE!
On
Saturday February 12th 2005, Kelpie mix Maggie May was awarded
the "Bel Ade Trophy" by
the Nanaimo Kennel Club - an award for the dog who has had the
most qualifying runs in a single year in agility (beginning at
a Starter's Level). In 2004, Maggie May
qualified in an astonishing 23 runs!! The NKC believes
this is the highest number of qualifying runs achieved by any
dog in the history of the trophy. CONGRATULATIONS
TO RUEDI AND MAGGIE MAY!
Maggie
May came to TDBCR from the Vancouver SPCA where she had been surrendered
by her owners for dubious reasons. Maggie had been teased and
taunted and treated badly in her prior life and was fearful and
underconfident. Her foster dad, Ruedi, TDBCR's Island Coordinator
and one of our biggest supporters, saw that Maggie only needed
confidence and training. He officially adopted Maggie and set
about reforming her view of the world. Today Maggie is a social,
outgoing dog harbouring none of her old fears and insecurities.
She accomplished her 23 qualifying runs in her first 18 months
with Ruedi!
