Busy day!

Wow what a busy day at RePets and Outer Loop.

RePets had 5 adoptions today!!! Thats 5 spots open to save 5 more!!!!
PLUS we got 6 applications to review in the morning!!!

Today I sent a volunteer went to meet a lady that rescued a Pug mix off a euthanasia list at a very far away shelter. While Dena was there I asked her to check in on a area shelter and make sure things are going smooth. She texted me that there was a BIG Boxer boy there and they were out of room for large dogs. Everyone knows that boxers, Pugs, Bostons, Bull Dogs and Frenchies are my favs so we grabbed him up! Thanks to Dena for driving 2.5 hours after work to save 2 precious lives and big thanks to the girls who helped at RePets today to get these sweet babies adopted!

Lots of new and exciting things happening at RePets and you don't want to miss it, so Please keep an eye on our web site! www.RePets.biz

Tonight at Outer Loop they donated all piercing sales to RePets. Between Piercings and tips, We are able to save so many animals and Feed them!!! Watch for the next piercing day Becaseu its a great fundraiser for RePets!

THE BIG MOVE

Everyone is asking where we are moving to and to be honest right now its in Gods hands. The location we are in now was never meant to be permanent, and I had no idea our concept would be so well received. After rescuing over 1600 animals in less then 2 years, I find myself stressing to find a new location for RePets. My dream of have a pet shop has been fulfilled. My desire to rescue animals has become a passion and a found talent I didn't know I had. Now I must dream bigger in order to keep up with how fast RePets is growing. My new dream is to purchase a "RePets HUB" in Bowling Green because our community has proven to be very supportive of animal shelters and rescues. This hub will be our intake fasility. We will continue to rescue good animals from shelters that are about to be euthanized and after they are prepared for adoption, we will transport them to our "Mini RePets" that we will open in smaller towns. This should help smaller community's with animal spay/neuter education, adoptions, and awareness. Cross your Fingers and Paws that this dream will also become a reality.
Anything we do is going to cost money and we only have till February to find a place to move, remodel, and settle in. This is very scary, and I have the weight of those animals future on my shoulders. After heavy thought and a lot of prayers, I was blessed with some wisdom. It came to me that people want to help, they hate that animals are in shelters and they want to do something about it, but money is tight for everyone these days so its only logical that we open a Thrift store benefiting RePets. this way our community can still help with our rescue efforts and it not cost a lot of money to do it. Every one has junk laying around they don't want, and it feels good to help a charity, so how cool is it that people can donate the stuff they don't want any more and save shelter animals at the same time costing them NO MONEY! Plus look what we are offering the community. A place to by good at a fraction of the cost and again saving shelter animals at the same time!

Our plan is to rent the old D&B Music store and turn it in to the Thrift Store benefiting RePets Animal Rescue. With the money made at the Thrift store we can save for a down payment to purchase a building. This will give us the freedom to rescue with out land lord restrictions.

Plan B if we are unable to raise the down payment or we are unable to find a place to purchase, then we will move the Thrift store in February and move RePets to the D&B spot till we find a place to purchase. Its a lot of work and we will need a lot of help, but its all worth it for the homeless animals. There is nothing more rewarding then seeing a happy tail leaving our adoption center with its new parents then getting a update Email telling us how happy they are.

Begining the RePets Blog!

I am so excited that I have a place to clear my head and let people see what happens behind the scenes, so they can see what truly happens at RePets Animal Rescue. RePets is an emotional roller coaster and I need a place to vent and a place for support. Some days make me dance, and others make me not want to get out of bed.

There is a million things going thur my head I want to Write about, BUT i have to go to Outer Loop and Pierce today so I can only make a list of the things I want to talk about, and then blog between customers. HUMMM.... This is going to be great!
