Can't Foster, But Still Want to Help?
Volunteer for our Homemade Gourmet Fundraiser!

Independent Distributor for Homemade Gourmet®, Kari Hanson, has coordinated a fundraiser for 4 Luv of Dog Rescue. We are looking for volunteers to sell Homemade Gourmet® products on behalf of the rescue. 20% of all sales will be donated to 4 Luv of Dog Rescue. All participants will receive a 4 Luv of Dog t-shirt and there will also be prizes (gift cards, ipod touch, dvd player) for those individuals reaching sale goals through August 10th. If you would like to participate in this fundraiser, you can pick up a sales kit at Natural Pet Center, 3037 13th Avenue S, Fargo or contact Kari (see below for contact info).

If you're not a salesperson, but are interested in some Homemade Gourmet® products, shop the Homemade Gourmet® website. Please email Kari your order to ensure the 20% in proceeds will be given to the rescue, save you on shipping charges, and have the orders delivered by one of our volunteers. Orders placed online through August 10th will benefit the rescue also, however, shipping charges would be much higher if they are shipped directly to you.

If you have questions about the fundraiser or Homemade Gourmet® products, please call Kari at 281-6495 (nights & weekends) or email her at ezmealsolutions@gmail.com.

Some of our supporters asked for a way to easily provide us with regular recurring monthly donations without them having to remember to do anything each month. We are now happy to report that we have partnered with PayPal to allow supporters to provide us with monthly recurring donations.

Our rescue receives no government funding so we rely on adoption donation fees, fundraisers, and your generous donations to help us cover our expenses. If you support what our organization is doing to help area homeless dogs in need, please show us your support by signing up to make monthly donations.

The 4 Luv of Dog Rescue has started a fundraiser to try to raise money to help pay for boarding kennel expenses. Dogs that unfortunately do not have foster homes stay at a local boarding facility at an expense of $15 per day per dog. With 7 dogs currently in boarding, these expenses quickly add up.

We are trying to raise $2000 to assist us in paying for our boarding kennel expenses. Please consider donating $15 or more by using the PayPal widget (left) - just select your donation amount and click the yellow Give button.

Adopters of past 4 Luv of Rescue dogs, may not realize, but their dog too may have temporarily stayed at the boarding kennel for a few days. And, for those of you unable to foster but still wanting to help, your donation is the perfect opportunity to do so!

These dogs are in boarding and need foster homes!

June 29 Update - We are pleasesd to report that Harper is doing well! She will be going to her foster home later today.
Her incision is healing nicely, her breathing is relatively normal, and her heartrate is good. Her right lung (it was partially collapsed) is still not back to normal but the vet was optimistic that it would slowly re-inflate to capacity. There is no signs of any fluid gathering in her lungs so that is a very good sign. The vet mentioned that Harper is a "star patient", and when she opened up Harper's kennel this weekend, tbat Harper would crawl out and want to sit on the vet's lap and give her a kiss!       Read more...

Josie really digs the treadmill! She will sit and beg to have a little run and plop herself down on the track until you allow her some action.

This is a great way to give your dog some exercise, as long as it is done in a safe manner. For more info on teaching your dog to use a treadmill, check out this article on Training Your Dog on the Treadmill by Shelly Seigler.

Stray dogs are a problem on many regional indian reservations including North Dakota's Turtle Mountain reservation. Due to limited funding and resources, local animal control officers sometimes resort to shooting the dogs, rather than humanely euthanizing them, and then dumping their body in the local landfill. Occasionally, they have "round-ups" where on a given day they round-up as many strays as possible and "dispose" of them.

Our rescue has been made aware of an impending "round-up" to occur on another nearby reservation. Fortunately, the tribal police are willing to work with dog rescue groups rather than shoot the dogs. Our rescue has taken in several very nice stray dogs from this reservation before (Karma, Rusty, Gizmo, Ruby, Riley, Kita) and would like to help the current stray dogs. Unfortunately, we currently have several dogs in boarding and our foster homes are full. We desperately need more foster homes and/or monetary donations for boarding in order for us to be able to help these dogs.

If you would like to help, please consider becoming a foster home or making a monetary donation towards boarding expenses..

Our rescue will be listing this LA-Z-Boy lift chair on Craigslist for $200.00, but we want to give you a chance to see it first! This lift chair reclines and raises to help “lift” you out of the chair. This chair is perfect for that favorite fisherman, covered in a rich fabric featuring the fisherman reeling in “the big one”, and also sporting images of canoing and the one that probably got away.

100% of the sale of this chair goes directly to our rescue. For information, email fundraising@4luvofdog.com or call 701-293-9537.
