All Dog Rescue - Minneapolis, MN

Awesome Kids

We are grateful to all of our volunteers and donors, but it is always special when young people pitch in to help others. This page was created to highlight some really great kids who have helped All Dog Rescue.

The caption on Raia's picture says it all - she selflessly wanted to use some of her Hanukkah money to help dogs, so made a donation to All Dog Rescue! Thanks for being such an AWESOME kid, Raia!!!

Ellie and her Friends

Ellie (directly behind her brother in this picture) decided to do a great thing on her 9th birthday. In her words, "Instead of presents, I asked my friends to help me raise money to aid dogs like yours at All Dog Rescue who are in need. I just love dogs! Thanks to my friends, we were able to raise over $100!" Thanks so much Ellie - you really are an awesome kid!!!

Laney

Laney and her family adopted Maggie from All Dog Rescue in February and Geronimo from Act V Rescue in July. For her 10th birthday, Laney decided to have a dog birthday, of course! Instead of gifts, this awesome kid asked her guests to bring donations for All Dog Rescue and Act V. The girls also made fleece blankets for the dogs at the party. Thanks so much, Laney - Maggie is sure lucky to have found her home with such a great family!!

Joey (with Lucky)

Joey and his family adopted Lucky in October 2009. This year, Joey decided to donated a large portion of the money he got for Christmas to help All Dog Rescue - this generous young man donated $80 out of his own pocket to help more homeless dogs! We are so grateful for his generosity - Lucky sure is one Lucky dog to have such a wonderful family to call his own!!

Dayton

In honor of his 12th and golden birthday, Dayton decided to do something extra-special. Instead of asking for gifts for himself, this incredible young man asked his friends and family to make donations to All Dog Rescue. This photo is of Dayton presenting the money he raised at an All Dog Rescue adoption event - over $150!! Thank you, Dayton, from all of us and from the dogs that were helped by your gift!
