Come join us for our monthly Boston Terrier social! http://img1.meetupstatic.com/img/smileys/smile.gifWhen you enter the park from Military Highway, take the first right. The dog park is along your right side behind the bushes/trees. The parking lot is on your left. We will be there from 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM. We will be in the small dog section of the dog park.
If the parking lot is full, go back to the main entrance street and turn right. There will be additional parking just down the street all within walking distance of the dog park.
It’s always lots of fun to see so many Boston Terriers running all over the place. (The most we’ve had at one time was around 30. C-R-A-Z-Y!!!!!) As one first time participant said, “These is organized chaos.” It’s a good idea to bring your own water bottle and bowl. Toys too. And plastic bags for those accidents. We look forward to seeing you!
IMPORTANT: Please stop to read the dog park rules which are posted at the dog park’s entrance.

More details to come!

THE FOOTBRIDGE FOUNDATION
After walking countless foster dogs across the footbridge in her neighborhood, it struck Wendy Black one day that the bridge was becoming quite symbolic. It seemed that once the dogs got the hang of their claws touching the metal surface as they crossed and once they became immune to fact that they were walking over water, it was about the same time they were forgetting their past and moving full force into their future. A new life of walks along the San Antonio river, veterinary care, nutritious meals and treats that come without fail each and every day. Noticing all the good coming out of this, an application was made for a 501c3 and Footbridge Foundation was born.

Wendy’s rescue efforts in San Antonio had been in full swing for about five years. The daunting statistics of San Antonio’s animal problem kept her passionate to save more lives. Many friends became more aware of the San Antonio situation through seeing the work she was doing at various rescue events and through social media and asked how they could help if they couldn’t foster a cat or dog. As friends donated to her individual rescue pets’ needs such as Blanca’s eye surgery or Buster’s heart worm treatment, it seemed like a non-profit would eventually form. In helping hundreds of kittens, cats, puppies and dogs it became evident that there is an endless need to help individuals and rescues.

Donations are used to help strays and fosters with items such as low cost spay/neuter surgery, x-rays, dental care, emergency care, surgeries for amputation, broken bones, deformities, hospice care, eye care, heart worm/lyme disease test for dogs, treatment for parasitic diseases, FIV/FeLV testing for adoptable cats, TNR trapper fees, dewormer & vaccinations, monthly flea & heart worm prevention, microchips, intake fees, transport costs, pet food, kitty litter, collars, tags, cones, leashes, harnesses, training treats, bowls, beds, crates, carriers, traps, puppy pads, formula, bottles, blankets, towels, cleaning supplies and more.

THE CANNOLI FUND
The mission of The Cannoli Fund is to improve the lives of companion and community dogs and cats in the King William and Lavaca neighborhoods of San Antonio, by:
• controlling the population through providing advice, resources, transportation and financial assistance for spaying and neutering of dogs and cats
• assisting with medical expenses for dogs and cats in need, and
• educating the community on the humane treatment of animals.
