The 2010 Southeast Wildlife Expo runs February 12-14 2009. Join us there and meet some of our adoptable dogs, buy some of our stuff and help support the lab rescue!

If you'd like to volunteer and help out with dogs, manning the WHLR booth or just spreading the word about our dogs, we'll definitely put you to work!

The 2010 Trot for the Cure benefit is scheduled for January 10, 2010 at Magnolia Plantation. Pre-registration is $25 and includes a shirt if you register before December 23, 2009. Registration the day of the event is $30.

The Trot for the Cure is an annual fundraiser for canine cancer research held at beautiful and historic Magnolia Gardens near Charleston, S.C.

It consists of walking your dog through historic Magnolia Plantation and Gardens; entertainment by the Dixie Dancing Dogs who perform dance and tricks routines; a talk on canine cancer by nationally renowned oncologist at UGA, Nicole Northrup followed by a Q&A session with a panel of veterinary specialists - neurologist, ophthalmologist, internist and general practitioner; a delicious barbecue; and a raffle ends the fun. A tax deductible donation of $25/person includes all the above, plus a long sleeved Trot t-shirt, if the entry is received before the deadline. Attending dogs receive goodie bags while they last.

The 2010 Trot for the Cure will also feature a talent show

Does your dog have talent? Do you like to show off his or her special tricks? Can your dog dance? If the answer to any of these questions is "yes," we have just the fun event for you at the Trot this year! Sign up with your dog to showcase his or her creativity.

Unlike people, animals have no fundraising drives, no cancer survivor spokespersons, and no special events to bring their plight to the spotlight. Until now! To date the event has brought in over $65,000.00 for cancer research. Around 300 people and over 200 dogs typically attend each one. The Trot for the Cure has become one of the premier dog events in the area, and is unique in its format. Scientists need continual funding for their valuable work in finding better treatments and cures for cancers in dogs. Enjoying an afternoon at the Trot with your dog and dog friends is a fun way to help them further this important work. All proceeds go to the University of Georgia's Arch Foundation for GA CaRES Fund at the University of Georgia Veterinary Hospital where many Lowcountry pets are referred for treatments.

To register, download the registration form and send it in.

For more information, contact Jane Hirsch or visit the Trot for the Cure website.
