A Mobile Fido Billboard: Thanks to Tommy's Window Tinting!
By Patti Loverink, Fences For Fido Co-Chair
In the summer of 2012, our Fido community made something truly remarkable happen: Through just one whirlwind day of online voting, you helped us win a Toyota Tundra pickup through Toyota's 100 Cars For Good campaign! We knew that having a truck that belonged exclusively to Fences For Fido would make a huge difference in our work, and over these past several months it surely has.

Thank you to everyone who came to our 2013 gala to celebrate our hearts’ work on behalf of our beloved Fidos. Your generosity will enable us to build 20 fences and has added much-needed funds for both Smokey's Fund and Savannah's Fund.
Please mark your calendar for May 17th, 2014 for our next gala!
Thank you once again, on behalf of our volunteers and our beloved Fidos.

Over the month, our community has mourned the loss of a Fido. And although we never built a fence for him, he was and always will be our beloved Fido. He died without a chain and tight collar. And he died, knowing he was loved, comforted by gentle pets, soft words, and warm blankets.
14-year-old, life-long chained Fido Lucky first came to us as a neighbor referral. We had made plans for his fence on 3/16 and had arranged his vet care for very serious, painful internal infections.
Hey, who wants to go to the beach!! (And free 4 super sweet dogs!!) Mom and Dad are Crabber and Daisy, 5 and 2 year old pitties, and their two babies are Runty and Sayde, 7 months old. Crabber and Daisy are chained to trees and the kids are in a kennel. They all get along great so the release will be a blast. Their person is trying her best with them, when I showed up she was trying to install some fencing and had blisters on her hands from digging. It's gonna take a FFF fence to keep this pittie family contained though, for sure!! We will be setting posts with quick dry concrete at 10 a.m., then going to lunch while the posts set, then coming back to build the fence. It's a long drive and a long day, but you can get a baby sitter for your pups at home for 1 day to come help these 4, right?! Let me know if you can make it at 10 or would rather just come for the fence build. Thank you!!
Misty was spotted tied to a zip line by one of our dedicated volunteers. Her family was very grateful to be contacted by Fences For Fido to offer her a fence. This spunky young pup has a huge grassy yard but the property runs along a busy highway so, unfortunately, she spends most of her time tethered to the zip line. Soon she'll have a large secure area where she can romp around to her heart's content! Please join us for the 10:00 AM build!
