Be sure and stop by between 11-3 on Saturday, May 11 during our Safe Place Open House and tell the sweet boy how great he looks!  Our Open House gives you the chance to meet our adoptable dogs, learn about our mission and volunteer opportunities and visit our Dogs Forever Store. You’ll also have the chance to win a door prize and purchase raffle tickets in our Dollars for Dogs 50/50 Raffle with the chance to win $300+. Don’t disappoint Davey. He’ll be looking for you! We’re at 809 Rockford Road SW in CR, right across from the Kernel’s outfield and next to Springer Pest Control. Our store, with great gifts for dogs and people, is 817 Rockford Road SW, next door to our shelter. Hope to see you! ~Nancy Crist, Co-Founder & Mom to 9 dogs and 4 foster dogs

50/50 Raffle Helps Homeless Hounds

Who wouldn’t like a little extra money? Our Dollars for Dogs 50/50 Raffle gives you the chance to help homeless dogs while entering your name in a drawing to win money. The dollars raised will be split “50/50″ between Dogs Forever and the winner, whose name will be drawn at 2:45 on Saturday, May 11, during our Open House. The more tickets we sell, the more money Dogs Forever and the winner will receive. Tickets are $2 each or 6 tickets for $10. Just send your check, made out to Dogs Forever, with your address and phone (in case we have questions). You will need to mail the entry part of the ticket back to us OR drop it off at Dogs Forever Safe Place any Saturday 11-3, but in time for the May 11 drawing.

You can also buy tickets at Dogs Forever Safe Place during our public hours 11-3 on Saturday. We are now located at 809 Rockford Road SW in Cedar Rapids, just a stone’s throw from Vet’s Memorial Stadium.

We do not receive city, state or federal funding. We rely on private donations and our fundraisers to pay rent on our shelter and provide the critical vet care our dogs desperately need to become healthy so that they can be adopted into a forever home. Please support our work. Questions? Contact dogsforever@netins.net or 319-481-0977.
