Brimstone is now chqdogs’ employee of the year. He has even learned to help with virtual training. This talented boy has even learned to play the xylophone; a few clicks and a few treats and this small town boy has made the big time. He shows us that good things can happen for these rescue mutts from off the street.
We hope that you have enjoyed following the lives of some of the lucky dogs that have walked through the doors of NCCR. Each year we continue to place, abandoned and all too frequently abused, dogs that are looking for a new start. As you can see, they come from a lot of different situations but their stories are all the same, they need a home and they seek love and understanding. Some of them are still a work in progress. Each one of you reading this has made this possible by your continued support, without you, there wouldn’t be us. We take this opportunity to thank you, whether you have adopted, donated items, dropped off cans, sponsored a dog or helped in anyway. This has been a difficult year but our doors are always opened for the next needy canine.
All of us at NCCR wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year!
