All Boulder the Bulldog Wants for Christmas...

2011 has been a tough but rewarding year for Shelter from the Storm. Due to the tough economic times many of the animals that came the rescue were need of major medical care. But Thanks to the support of all of our friends like you we were able to give them another chance. ALL BOULDER WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS...

Boulder is a young English Bulldog that came into the rescue this past summer. What a neat dog he turned out to be; full of personality and spunk! Unfortunately, Boulder was diagnosed with a congenital heart condition, Pulmonic Stenosis. Basically what this means is Boulders heart isn't working enough to get blood to the lungs like it should.

Although Boulder already has a heart of gold, he needs our helpt to fix it and make shine again. The procedure he needs is done only at the University of Wisconsin Veterinary School in the their cardiology department. During this wait Boulder has not been able to play or have too much fun because his heart cannot keep up.

Until his heart is fixed Boulder risks serious complications including heart failure and worse yet, sudden death.

To restore that sparkle to Boulder's heart we need to raise a little over $3,000. Please help us give Boulder what is so deserves, a chance at new life with A SHINING NEW HEART!

Join Sneakers and Leashes!


Shelter From the Storm and Fleet Feet have joined forces! Sneakers and Leashes is a new program developed by SFTS volunteer Alexis Ziemann. The concept is simple, but the benefits are HUGE! As long as the runners are going to run anyway, why not take a dog along? The Fleet Feet running club meets at our facility once a week and takes adoptable dogs for runs. The dogs (and humans) get a lot of exercise, exposure to new people and things, practice walking on leash, and the visibility is priceless! It's a fantastic volunteer opportunity for people that love to get outside and exercise. Don't worry if you can't make the weekly group walk! Feel free to email Alexis and make arrangements to walk/run at a time that is convenient for you. If you are interested in the program, please contact Alexis at sneakersnleashes@gmail.com.
