Penelope's Fund
Penelope was very special. This fund has been dedicated to her memory
with the knowledge that this special little girl will forever stay in
our hearts. Penelope was 20.5 yrs old when she left us in November
2006. A certified therapy dog, Penel herself was a rescue. A gentle and
kind doxie, she trained many a rescue for a new life with a loving
family. It is with this sediment that Penelope’s Fund has been
established.
Animals which are happy and healthy are less likely to require rehoming.
Knowing this, the Penelope Fund seeks to support veterinary care where:
- A spay/neuter will assist in controlling the pet population and keep a dog in its current home.
-
Proper vaccinations and parasitic plans contribute to the health and
well-being of an animal and make the difference in responsible
ownership or relinquishment to DRBC.
- The addition of a cart or other support device maintains or improves the quality of the animals life.
- The general welfare of an animal can be addressed including food, medications and veterinary care.
Penelope's
funds address the needs of those in our region: Pennsylvania and New
Jersey. This continues the DRBC goal of 'think global, act local' in
helping to bring the best in veterinary care to those in need while
expanding our knowledge of the dachshund dog from the four corners of
the world.
Helping those most in need of the simplest forms of support is what this
fund is all about. Here at the DRBC Foundation we hope Penel would be
proud.
