RescueMe Parade

Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers for helping us plan and execute our "Alaskan Malamute - All-American Breed" entry at the first RescueMe parade at the Doggy Party on the Plaza!! We had a team of six Malamutes pulling a non-motorized go-kart and lots of Mals and humans walking as part of our team!! We got an "honorable mention" which we were bummed about as we thought we would at least place in the top 3 but it was not meant to be that day; plus the parade route wasn't condusive to really displaying what our go-kart team really could do! We're still very proud of our go-kart team as it was comprised of 5 rescues from high-kill shelters, most of who have already been adopted and was led by a cancer survivor and weight pull champion!! This was their first time ever doing this together! Go Mals!!

Pics are available here!

Video of the parade entry is available here!

Garage Sale Fundraiser

Thank you to all those who gathered, cleaned and priced their goods they donated for our garage sale fundraiser!! It was a long and busy morning but well worth it as we raised $950+ for the Malamutes!! Woohooooo!!! Big thanks to Budah for being our Mal respresentative - you did a great job greeting the shoppers!!

We had a lot of stuff and sold a lot of it but still had 3 truck fulls to send to the donation center! Many thanks to Delilah, Diana, Kim, Lauren, Lis, Patty, Rob, Seana, Sonja and Tracey for volunteering at the event and making it so successful!!

Mardi Paws

TAMR participated in the annual Mardi Paws, aka Krewe of Barkus and Meoux Parade in Galveston. We had a large group of snow dogs and humans. TAMR got the honor to be the first organization in line right behind Dorothy and Toto and the Parade Leader. Big thanks to every human and fur-kids that came out for the fun event!!

TAMR 4th Annual Happy Tails & BBQ

The Happy Tails Hike and BBQ was a hit with about 23 humans and 21 dogs! We opted for the day lodge this year and it was great, and we will definitely use it again. A few of the rescues (Jewel, Neo and Rohn) got to come out and join in the fun as well as a few new friends. We also got in on some river action and some of us were pretty wet afterwards but oh well, the dogs had a blast! Hopefully everyone that came out had some tired out doggies that evening. Thank you to everyone that came out. Big thanks to those who helped out with the food coordination and cooking! Click here for pics!

Adopt-a-thon

TAMR participated in the 3rd annual micro-chip clinic and adopt-a-thon on Feb 13, 2011. Many thanks to Diana, Kim with Neo, Bob with Jamie, Seana/Karsen with Jewel, Cristina/Justin/Taylor with Kenya and Mika, Sarah and Hank (mal wannabe for a day), Lauren with Kaya, and Margie for coming out to help at the event!
