Week Four Woofball Winners!

Belen won this week's Woofball game!  She was consistently winning honorable mentions the previous week but this week she really dug her heels in and fought for the ball.  Congrats, Belen!  We hope you enjoy your new football!

This week's drawing winner was Smoke!  The Packers kept it pretty close the first half, but the Vikings ran away with it in the second half.  Smoke will receive a $10 gift certificate for any Doggie Oasis service.  Congrats, Smoke!


We also want to send out a special thanks to Lou, Bogey's dad, for his generous donation last week.  You can't know what a great mood we've all been in because of you!

So far, the favorite has won every single week.  This may be the week that bucks the trend.  The NY Jets are only one point favorites over the Miami Dolphins, and they're playing in Miami.  This could be your chance to win the $25 gift certificate!  Make any donation to our rescue group this week, the Southern Nevada Australian Shepherd and Border Collie Rescue, and pick your team.

Good luck, everyone!

Yeah, that moon is still pretty full.

Keoni and Jagger

Keoni and Jagger love to play with each other -- the thing is, the way they play mostly involves barking at or near each other. They do this every day they are here together. Not all playing has to involve wrestling!

It's that time of year again....

October is the month we take holiday pictures for our annual holiday card!

Every October we bring out the camera, dust off our Santa Hats and Dreidels, and start taking our Holiday pictures! Every day during October we have a blast taking these pictures of our dogs for the holidays. Get a groom or a bath first so they can really look their best. All you have to do for your dog to get a holiday picture is bring them in sometime in October for day care or boarding. We will do the rest!

I SEE YOU!

Woofball Week 3 Results are in!

This week's Woofball competition winner was Tank! Even though there were some faster dogs vying for the ball this week, Tank's linebacker and fumble recovery skills won the day.


This week's drawing winner was Bogey! Bogey's dad chose the Dallas Cowboys to win, and they defeated the Panthers soundly. Bogey will receive $10 off any Doggie Oasis service. Thank you to everyone who donated to the LV Basset Rescue!

Congratulations, Tank and Bogey! You will receive your prizes when you get picked up.

Monday's game is Green Bay at Minnesota. That's right, Brett "I'm retired" Favre is headed back to Green Bay with his new team. The line opened with Minnesota a 3.5 point favorite, and has since moved down to 3. And since the game is in Minnesota, it's nearly a draw on neutral turf. Make a donation to this week's rescue group and make your pick!

This week's rescue group is Animal Adoptions Ltd.:


ABOUT US

Betty Honn founded Southern Nevada's first no-kill, non-profit animal sanctuary in 1968. Since then, volunteers, contributors and patrons have made our daily operations possible.

Betty passed away in 1997, but not before saving countless thousands of animals from needless euthanasia. Her daughter, Teresa now continues the work, and is committed to fulfilling her mother's vision.

For more than 30 years, from kittens to Kodiaks, Betty Honn's Animal Adoptions, Ltd. has provided refuge for animals.

ABOUT OUR FACILITY

Animal Adoptions, Ltd. houses over 50 domestic animals. Every adoptable animal's history is known to us and that information is used in finding them new homes. Caretakers provide one-on-one attention to each animal through handling and daily exercise.

It our responsibility and policy to have all pets in our care spayed or neutered before they are placed into their new homes. This includes puppies and kittens who come into our care. Please be a responsible pet owner and spay or neuter your pet(s).

ADOPTIONS

WE HAVE A VARIETY OF DOGS. PUPPIES, & CATS FOR ADOPTION.


Good cause, good game; it's all good!

Ball Time!

How cute is Tucker, here?! I just want to eat him up.

Week Two Woofball Winners

This week's Woofball winner was Smoke, who had the most completions. He will win a Fido Football for his efforts. And honorable mention goes to Belen for most fumbles -- she loved catching the ball, but then would drop it!



The drawing winner this week was Moose, who's mom chose the Colts to win. The Colts were the favorites so Moose gets $10 off any Doggie Oasis service.

Congratulations, Smoke and Moose!

Monday's game will be the Caroline Panthers playing the Dallas Cowboys. Panthers are around nine point dogs right now.

This week's rescue is Las Vegas Basset Rescue:

Las Vegas Basset Rescue has been helping homeless Bassets since 1999. Basset Hounds are dropped at shelters, abandoned on the streets, and given up by their owners for various reasons. They are young, old and in-between. Some are healthy and well-socialized, just needing the basics of veterinary care. Others have been medically neglected and emotionally or physically abused. Many need all manner of veterinary care to get them into tip-top shape. They ALL need a fresh start in life with a caring family.

It is our mission to heal them and make them ready for permanent, loving homes. We have taken over 500 Bassets into rescue since we began in 1999. We strive to help each and every basset that needs a "new leash on life". The dogs are cared for in loving foster homes while they await permanent adoption. Dedicated foster families assess the dogs' personalities and needs so that they can be placed in the appropriate homes.

We are a small group of volunteers who have jobs, families, and other important commitments. No one receives a salary--all donations and funds raised go directly to pay the dogs' medical bills. We do Basset Rescue because we wish to make a difference in the lives of the breed we love.

In June of 2003 Las Vegas Basset Rescue became a 501c-3, non-profit charitable organization--making all donations tax-deductible. We also raise funds through various special events and garage sales.

If you are interested in volunteering in any way, please email us at info@rescuebassets.com Together we hope to meet the growing needs of homeless bassets in the Southern Nevada area.

Thank You,
The Volunteers of Las Vegas Basset Rescue


Please considering donating to this great rescue. Again, any donation will get you a pick for Monday night's game. If you pick Carolina and they win, you can win $25 off any Doggie Oasis service. If you pick Dallas and they win, you can win $10.

Please ask us at the desk if you have any questions!

New Toys

We went to Superzoo last week and picked up a Dura Doggie Disc -- four days later it's still intact!

Here is Cooper and Macho with their own brand of tug o war. With these two, it's more of a mental chess game than a contest of strength. And no, we did not pose them this way. Maybe they're auditioning for a Dura Doggie Disc commercial!

Sox and Blake...and blanket. Boston Terrier and Yorkie Mix play.

Blankets can be toys, Mom!
