This experience has been one that none of us involved in will ever forget. From the sadness of seeing Sunny with ribs and backbone sticking out two days before delivering puppies, to the joy when she had eight healthy puppies, to the fear that we were going to lose Sunny to misdiagnosed mastitis, to the relief that mom and pups have survived against all odds..this is the best and the worst of rescue all rolled into one.

To celebrate Sunny and her puppies, we're planning a special ceremony at Tri-State's September Picnic on the 23rd. Sunny and all eight of her puppies will be there and Sunny will be "pawtographing" hand-painted t-shirts (by artist and foster Mom, Sue) as a fund-raiser to cover some of the costs of her surgery ($5,000+).

Please come out and meet Sunny and her babies in the Gazebo at Riverview Beach Park in Pennsville, NJ and see this miracle girl with her miracle puppies. Help celebrate sending the puppies off to their new homes with a special ceremony. You'll never be able to forget Sunny or her babies. Buy a t-shirt and say, "I helped save Sunny." Shirts are $25 and will be available at the picnic or can be mailed out to you (plus postage if mailed). Send us an email sandybob_at_tristatebassets.org with all of the pertinent information and we'll mail you a shirt. The shirts are unique and hand-painted so each one is different. We have a variety of colors and can accommodate sizes small to 4x.
