2010 1st annual Woof & Wine @ Benmarl Winery

We attended this event to support Smiling Pitbull Rescue and I have to say the view, the wine, the people and the dogs were all AMAZING!

The cause for these dogs in need was amazing in itself-the people that do the rescue work-even more amazing!

 People that think a pitbull is just a feroucious beast haven't had the opportunity to meet the great and loving animals that they can be. I recommend visiting Smiling Pit or any other rescue society to really get to know the breed before you judge them. Pits can make amazing family pets!

2010 Ulster homeshow @ Mac Fitness

Why have a dog trainer at a homeshow?

Because..... If you have a dog in your home, it needs training!

2009 Center for Heeling Pet Food Drive

This year was our first pet food drive. We collected and donated over 1200 pounds of food to three local food pantries, helping to keep pets at home and out of the shelters. Thanks to all who contributed and collected.

Special thanks to:

Bodymind Massage, Water St Market, New Paltz
Marbletown Animal Hospital, Rte 213, Stone Ridge
Bark Place, Rte 299, Highland

We look forward to making this event bigger and better next year!
