One of the main fundraising events for the Vally of the Sun Giant Schnauzer Rescue is their Annual Fun Day held at Deer Creek Animal Hospital. There were games, raffles, agility, a demonstration by a trainer, and lots more! I had the opportunity to photograph some of these beautiful dogs today; lots of Schnauzers and so many others that came to take part in the festivities! The weather couldn't have been nicer... and it's mid-December! Ya gotta LOVE living in Arizona!
The mission of VSGSR is rescue Giant Schnauzers in need, provide medical care when necessary, and find foster care placements where these dogs can begin the process of finding a forever home. If you're looking for a 'gentle giant' to fall totally in love with, please check out some of their foster dogs! Their big brown eyes will MELT. YOUR. HEART!
Here are just a few of the dogs I had the chance to play with today!
This is Maggie... Can she rock these antlers, or what??!
These cuties sat still for about 2 seconds before they began pulling on each other's scarves and chasing Christmas Ornaments! Before they grow up to be "Giants"...they look like this!
And the tinest Reindeer...uh...Reindog of all... This is Dillon and he's about the size of a Schnauzer's paw!
This little Frenchie is "Chunk"! Isn't he 'regal' looking? He was partying with the Schnauzers!
This was such a fun weekend! On Saturday, I got to meet some of the most awesome dogs during Deer Creek Animal Hospital's Open House and Halloween Party! The costumes were amazing! The staff did a wonderful job at planning, organizing and running this event!
Look at these faces!
A family photo!
There was an agility demonstration by Jumping Chollas...
Even kitties had representation! But like this big white lover-boy...everyone was SMILING!!
Thank you Deer Creek...for allowing me to be a part of your fun Halloween Party!
This Saturday I'm going to be at Deer Creek Animal Hospital's Halloween Party and Open House! This promises to be a fun day of activities for kids and dogs alike! There will be food, games, door prizes, agility and obedience demonstrations, a behind-the-scenes-tour of the hospital and a Doggie/Owner Costume Contest!
We'll be doing free dog photos and giving you an up-close look at those pups strutting their stuff in costumes! October 30th, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in their wonderful enclosed backyard behind the hospital... I'll post some of my favorite photos next week!
