San Antonio Area Foundation -- Tuesday December 13th, 2022
A DOGGIE 4 YOU is proud to announce a 25K 2022 Responsive Grant award from the SAN ANTONIO AREA FOUNDATION to assist with the ever-rising daily operation costs at our rescue. With the assistance of the SAAF award, we are able to meet our 2022 expenses. Although we are mainly an all-volunteer run nonprofit, the cost of a large rescue which can house, feed, and meet all the needs for up to 150 dogs each day is a very expensive task. We truly appreciate the assistance and trust the San Antonio Area Foundation has provided A DOGGIE 4 YOU to assist numerous homeless dogs seeking their forever families.
 KIA ADOPTION GRANT -- Thursday May 19th, 2022 DOGGIE 4 YOU is grateful to announce a $3,000 KIA ADOPTION GRANT award presented by the Petfinder Foundation .

The more dogs we can place in good homes will in turn open space at our rescue to assist other dogs. Thank you again to both the PETFINDER FOUNDATION and KIA for sponsoring this worthy cause!

A DOGGIE 4 YOU is honored to recently receive a $3,000 lifesaving investment from

Our rescued dog, Lil Abner, was rescued from a hoarding situation. From his before photo you see he was neglected and living in filth. After coming to A Doggie 4 You, he was vetted, had a dental, a hernia repaired, as well as a mass removed. The vet bill for Lil Abner was $1,400, but our mission is to help animals regardless of the expense. Once this little guy received a clean bill of health, he then found his forever home (see photos). Thanks to the Petco Love grant award, together, we’re partnering to save more pet lives! http://#PetcoLovePartner

Disaster Relief Grant from PEDIGREE -- Thursday April 1st, 2021
A DOGGIE 4 YOU Receives a $3,500 Disaster Relief Grant from PEDIGREE FOUNDATION Resulting From the February Historic Texas Weather Event
PIPE CREEK, TX April 1, 2021 — A DOGGIE 4 YOU, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit dog rescue is proud to announce a recent $3,500 Disaster Relief Grant from the PEDIGREE Foundation for replacing vital pet medications, additional staffing, and assistance with utility bills caused by the historic February polar vortex weather event. A DOGGIE 4 YOU is extremely grateful to Deb Fair, Executive Director of the PEDIGREE Foundation, and her hard-working foundation staff for awarding the grant to help dogs be safe, cared for, well fed, and loved while waiting for their forever homes. According to A DOGGIE 4 YOU Executive Director, Patricia Godkin, “The grant funds are being used to replace vital pet medications destroyed during the power outages, for around-the-clock staff during the historic polar vortex to ensure the rescued dogs’ health and welfare needs were met, and to assist in paying utility bills.” Ms. Godkin reported in addition to the 142 homeless dogs already at the rescue, A DOGGIE 4 YOU also provided indoor space for another 35 dogs from a local dog rescue with outdoor kennels. Then, just prior to the polar vortex’s arrival another unexpected 7 dogs arrived from the Texas Valley via an emergency transport van. The additional dogs meant 172 homeless dogs were sheltered at the Pipe Creek rescue for the duration of the extreme low temperatures, rolling and power outages while all efforts were being made to prevent the water and rescued dogs from freezing. In late 2018, A DOGGIE 4 YOU purchased two modular buildings to transform their former outdoor kennels for 150 dogs into indoor/outdoor kennels with expanded space for up to 200 dogs. The capital campaign continues even though the COVID pandemic tripled the price of construction materials and slowed public donations due to unemployment. To make a donation to the rescue or for more information about A DOGGIE 4 YOU, visit: www.adoggie4you.org or www.facebook.com/10thlifesurgicalcenter.

The foundation was established in 2008 by Mars Petcare, maker of PEDIGREE® food for dogs, to help increase dog adoption rates. We’ve awarded more than 5,750 grants and $9 million to U.S. shelters and rescues that help dogs in need. At PEDIGREE Foundation, we’re working toward a day when all dogs are safe, secure, cared for, fed well and loved. See how you can help: www.PEDIGREEFoundation.org.
WHO TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS?? -- Wednesday March 10th, 2021
As the weathermen warned about the historic low temperatures approaching the beautiful Texas Hill Country, A Doggie 4 You prepared for the snow and cold….or so we thought! Next, A Doggie 4 You housed 35 additional dogs at our indoor, heated shelter buildings for another dog rescue with only outdoor kennels. Then, an additional 7 dogs arrived from the Valley on an emergency transport just before the storm hit. Last, little did we know the Texas electric grid was soon doomed to almost complete failure! US newscasters reported the historic results of the long power outages, followed by rolling power outages which resulted in plumbing issues. Water pipes burst, damages to property ensued, deaths due to hyperthermia, and no water service for millions of Texans and their pets continued for weeks on end! Texas homes and buildings are not constructed to withstand the extended historic low temperatures. A Doggie 4 You is incredibly thankful the PETFINDER FOUNDATION came to our aid when recently awarding our rescue a $2,000 Disaster Emergency Grant to replace the stockpile of dog food and puppy pads lost due to water damage. The PETFINDER FOUNDATION grant also provided funds to assist with the utility bill during the historic low temperatures. All of the dogs were safe under the watchful eye of round-the-clock rescue staff ensuring all dogs were fed, water bowls were not frozen, had clean kennels, and were getting exercise during the extreme weather event. Thank you again to Petfinder Foundation for assisting in our time of need!
Peterson Foundation Grant -- Tuesday October 20th, 2020 We are excited to share some great news with our rescue friends. The HAL and CHARLIE PETERSON FOUNDATION recently awarded our rescue a $30,000 grant to assist with the portable buildings for our rescued dogs! With their generous 30K grant we are able to finish the Puppy Building and the Main Dog Rescue Building #1. When finished, we will host an Open House for the public. We are tremendously grateful to their Board Members for helping make our dreams come true! We wish to thank Brian Oehler, the Hall and Charlie Peterson Foundation's General Manager for taking time to visit our rescue. We enjoyed meeting and showing him how far the rescue has come since purchasing the buildings in late 2018.
2020 ORVIS ANIMAL CARE GRANT -- Sunday September 27th, 2020 A DOGGIE 4 YOU proudly announces receipt of the 2020 ORVIS ANIMAL CARE GRANT of $1,000! This award purchases a number of items to keep our rescued dogs happy by supplying them with mental and physical enrichment while waiting for their forever homes. Our Enrichment Program has 3 parts: Agility, Music, and Toys. AGILITY: Agility gets rid of a dog’s excess energy while being a confidence-booster for shy dogs. Running through a course that involves passing over and through a variety of obstacles challenges a dog’s mind and body. Involving our rescued dogs in agility will strengthen their muscles, improve coordination, and keep them fit. MUSIC: Pamela Fisher, DVM, is a holistic vet and founder of the Rescue Animal Mp3 Project, a nonprofit organization that distributes free music-loaded Mp3 players to animal shelters across the US. She uses music specifically composed to promote relaxation in the animals and their human companions. Dogs show signs of reduced anxiety and anxiety-related behaviors such as barking, scratching, pacing and whining when listening to the music. Aggressive animals have mellowed, traumatized dogs seem less fearful, and storm-phobic dogs are noticeably calmer. Shelter workers have even noticed the animals’ physical improvements in the form of increased appetites and speeded recoveries from injuries and illness. TOYS: Who doesn’t like to play? Stuffed toy animals, pull toys, toys to fetch, and even a bubble making machine for the dogs to chase and pop bubbles are coming to A Doggie 4 You. There are a few comforting, snuggle-worthy dog dolls with a heartbeat sound to calm dogs experiencing separation anxiety. 10th Life Surgical Center dba A DOGGIE $ YOU wishes to gratefully than the PETFINDER FOUNDATION as well as ORVIS for making this grant possible for our rescued dogs! Happy dogs, happy staff, happy lives abound thanks to Petfinder Foundation. @petfinder foundation.
