Did someone say DOG TRAINING RAFFLE?! ☘️🐶🎉

WWW has a student who has been searching for her forever home through Chasing Sunshine Dog Rescue and needs funding to be fully vetted before she can finally start her next big adventure in life. In hopes of jumpstarting that donation pot, I put together some appropriately themed raffle baskets in Jessica's honor for both new clients and fellow training fanatics!

The only problem is that a big dog means a big vet bill.
CSDR needs to raise $1000 to fully vet, spay, and gastropexy, Jessica.
Which is where we come in, and not without something in it for you too!

⭐️ EVERY $3 donation, gets your name entered 1x to win a Wagging with Wisdom Starter Kit! 🎟

--- P**p bags & bag holder

No entry # limits & TWO winners will be chosen!

how is it June already?!? 🫪
Not only that but first thing this morning we had a visitor trying to come in the school entrance! 🤣

(I called a wonderful wildlife rehab in Waterford who let me know that baby Catbirds are pretty naive and tend to wander but because he has feathers to just put him in a bush that is big enough to protect him, so into the rhododendron he went!)

Heres to more summer shenanigans!! 🤪🐶

This is what happens when you start school as a foster pup and then return as a student after adoption…. SURPRISE!!! 🫢👀

Millie (fka JellyBean) was a foster pup of mine this past fall and met all these same classmates as a wee baby. This past week she returned for her new family to get some vacation time and the pack was stunned to see that she had grown more than any of us had ever imagined!

We love you MILLIE! 💌🥰🐾
