SARN Teams Up With Berwick Animal Hospital and the Brunswick Police Department!

Great news, SARN members!

I have made a deal with Dr. DeAnna Douglas of Berwick Animal Hospital to receive a great discount for all Student Rescue members who use Berwick Animal Hospital for any of their fosters or adopted rescues! If you are an active SARN member and have alerted me of your planned vet visit, Dr. Douglas will take 25% off your bill!

In exchange for this generous discount, I am helping Dr. Douglas place some of her rescues in loving forever homes. If you would like to help place these animals, please contact me!

If you have not yet gotten involved with SARN, your first activity is only an e-mail away.

Srgt. Russ Berger of the Brunswick Police Department has also contacted me in hopes of getting students involved in a propsal for a low-kill shelter they are hoping to build in the Brunswick area. I have gotten in touch with the chair of SCAD's wonderful interior design department, and we are currently working together to transform this into a class project for one of the rendering classes.

This is truly exciting news, and I'm very pleased to see SCAD's talented student body helping Georgia's rescue efforts -- all while improving their craft!

GREAT VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY!

New Beginnings Rescue is holding an Adopt-A-Thon for some of our most loving and adoptable pups on death row!

We really need young and energetic dog enthusiasts to volunteer and spend time with the pups. You will love on the animals, play with them our in the field, and help to make potential adopters feel more comfortable with their meet-and-greets. When a person sees a dog interacting with another volunteer, they are much more likely to take interest in the adoption. Won't you help increase a dog's chance of finding a forever home?

I will be driving up to Hinesville this Saturday morning and have room in my car for 4 other volunteers. If you would like to get involved, please e-mail me at becca_johnson1@hotmail.com or call me at 901-338-0322.

Come on, SCAD Students. Volunteering has never been so much fun -- all you have to do is play with an awesome dog! It doesn't get easier than that...

Success Stories and Updates

Hi all,

I know it's been a long time since I last posted, but plenty has happened, including many wonderful success stories.

First of all, I want to thank SCAD students Kristin, Rachele, Kim, Shaun, and Christine for all of their help so far. Kristin helps with transports and fostering, Rachele provided a foster home for Penelope and got her placed quickly, Kim has fostered both cats and dogs in immediate danger, Shaun adopted one of our rescues, and Christine hand-fashioned several cat toys and donated a box full of clothing and books for the New Beginnings yard sale.

Excellent work, ladies!

Guys...what are you waiting for? Get involved! This isn't a girls club. Let's get our membership to grow! The more volunteers we have, the more lives we save. It's a simple equation, tried and true.

Take a few hours out of your week to be a part of something exciting. Get proactive! It's healthy for you!

We are taking our regular trip to Hinesville tomorrow morning. I will be handling cat adoptions in the front and some other NBAR volunteers will be doing the pups in the back. Hours are from 10 am - 1 pm. Please stop by or contact me tonight to carpool in the morning!

With Spring finally here, the animals are pouring in through the doors of Animal Control. We need foster homes now more than ever. Please contact me if you would like to get involved! (becca_johnson1@hotmail.com)
