Sargent Codie Rae Says Help Save German Shepherds

Help save German Shepherd dogs in Northern California with the Wags to Riches German Shepherd Rescue fundraiser.

Whew! I’ve spent the last three days at Codie Rae Boot Camp. As you can see, she’s one tough Tripawd! More about that later, but meanwhile . . .

Sargent Codie Rae drilled it into me that I need to let you know about a really great fundraiser taking place, for German Shepherd Rescue of Northern California.

This group is the same one who helped bust Codie Rae and I out of the Oakland, CA pound! If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t be here to spread the word about Tripawd pawesomeness.

So their fundraiser is called “Wags to Riches,” and even though it’s a fun pawty taking place in Walnut Creek, CA, you don’t even have to be there to pawticipate and WIN!

There’s a big raffle going on, where you can win

  • a Dream Vacation worth $7500 (or get $4500 in cash instead!)
  • a MacBook Pro
  • or a two night say at the Carmel Country Inn, a pawesome pet friendly hotel in beautiful Carmel, CA.

Tickets are just twenty bucks!

We know times are hard and we’re all broke. But the rescue animals are hurting so bad right now. Even buying just one ticket can go a long way in helping other future spokesdawgs find loving homes in California. So dig under those couch cushions and under your car seats, and download the German Shepherd Rescue of Northern California raffle ticket form today!

Home, Home on the Range

Three legged German Shepherd Wyatt Ray Dawg finds forever home with Tripawds founders Jim Nelson and Rene Agredano

Well, you probably heard the news by now . . . I have a new home!

Thanks to my awesome foster family, Codie Rae, Smokey, Martha and Ralph, I am now living in the mountains of Colorado. No more being tied to a rope in a crummy backyard, no more mean people who ignore me all day, no more city life for me. Green acres, here I come.

Or rather, “Jerry’s Acres,” here I am!

My new pawrents, Jim and Rene, are the two big Tripawd lovers who run a website for three legged dogs just like me. Since their furbaby Jerry passed away last year, they’ve really missed having dog love around (hah, you think they miss the dog hair too?). When they heard that I was in need of a forever home, they drove 1500 miles just to meet me. There I was, scrappy, skinny and just a few weeks after amputation, but they really seemed to think I was something special. That night at dinner with my pack, they signed some papers and made it official: we are now a family!

I’m so hoppy to be here with them on Jerry’s land. I’ve never smelled so many cool things. Stuff like pine trees and flowers. Oh and sage, lots of sage. And today I even got to bark at my first deer! It’s all so much fun here. I get all worn out by the end of the day, there’s so much to check out. I’m going to leave my mark all over the place!

The best part is, I get to travel in the RV with my new pawrents. Apparently they are going to take their other house out for a few months each year, to show people how awesome three legged dogs like me really are! I’m so excited I get to see the country just like my hero Jerry did. Next week, we are going back to the ranch where they worked last year. I can’t wait to go!

Whew, that’s it for now. I need to build up my strength so I can run around these crazy mountains some more!
