Larry and I wanted to introduce you to our best friends today.Â
Â
 They are the ones behind the scenes that do so much for us and the rescued dogs in our care…. they are our volunteers. A wonderful group of friends that share our vision and want to help the homeless.
 Each one means the world to us.Â
Â
 Caring for over 100 dogs is a big task and takes a dedicated team, and as you can see, Rescue K911 has been blessed with such a team.
We couldn’t do this work without them.
 Coming from all walks of life and professions – there is one thing that binds us together and that we all have in common -  and that is the love for the dogs.
Â
We are so proud to introduce them – aren’t they beautiful!!!!

This year directed by Ms. AnnaLee Gardner, Ms. Mary Jackson, and Ms. Donna Williamson they raised almost $9,000 worth of food, supplies and donations. What a wonderful help to all our rescued dogs, not only for the help of food, but also help towards our large outstanding vet bill, and recent fencing project.  It is always such an encouragement  to see young people come together and care so much. We could never thank them enough! Thank you everyone at Opelika High School…Go Dawgs!  Is that you??? Dr. Cox????? Gameday Parking VolunteersThursday, October 28th, 2010

Special Thanks!Sunday, September 12th, 2010 Auburn Pre-Vet Club Many thanks to Auburn University’s Pre-Vet Club for coming out this past Saturday and helping the little ones of Rescue K911. This great group just jumped right in cleaning kennels, feeding & watering, cleaning dog houses & kennel panels, helping to worm & give out flea meds, and even bathing dogs. With their help we were able to accomplish so much. We were so happy to have them, and look forward to their return next month. “Thank you each one for reaching out to help the homeless dogs of Rescue K911! ” Bingo Nights with MyraThursday, August 5th, 2010 Myra wins the Jackpot for Rescue K911 It was a month long fundraising event for us -   Bingo Nights at Niffers on the Lake Restaurant. It is always a fun time where we can get out and meet some of our friends & supporters and have a good time raising funds for the rescued dogs of Rescue K911. In this case, the funds were to go to GiGi, an abused Great Dane that had just come into our care. Gigi had a lengthy stay at the vets office recovering from her many wounds, and this event was for her to help with her medical bills.  Every Tuesday night for four weeks the crowds gathered, and our wonderful volunteers, Patti, Karen, Kim, Jenny & Myra worked hard at selling tickets, t shirts and to tell everyone about Rescue K911.  On each of the four nights the jackpot was never won, causing the funds to carry forward until the next week. After our four weeks there, the Jackpot was still not won. In talking with Jenny, she told us that she and Myra were planning on going back the next Tuesday night and try to win the Jackpot for Gigi & Rescue K911…and sure enough they did WIN!!! That night Myra, so excited,  called us to let us know  GiGi sends her love & thanks! she had  won the Jackpot and was giving the funds to help Rescue K911 – How wonderful is that!!! We’d like to thank everyone that came out to support us, Special thanks to Myra, Jenny, Patti, Karen & Kim for working so hard at  this event for us. Each one is such a wondeful friend & help to our rescue, and we appreciate them so very much! And thank you Niffer’s Restaurant for reaching out to help the community and homeless dogs!
