| 6-21-06 We discovered that our local newspaper, the Golden Transcript published a small article about us in their May 11th edition!! The article mentions Petfinder.com, and we're pleased that the editors of the Transcript have given our homeless buddies around the country a bit of press!! Thanks Golden Transcript! |
| 6-17-06 We are very proud to announce our partnership with Silver Hounds, a wonderful organization founded by a fellow IG rescuer! Silver Hounds is a "scholarship fund" dedicated to raising money (and awareness!) for senior IGs in need!! Silver Hounds supports independent rescues that take in senior IGs for placement in forever homes. Because seniors often need more medical attention upon entering rescue, their vet bills may be higher. That's where Silver Hounds steps in! Various fundraisers provide these much-needed funds in times of need. Please visit www.silverhounds.org for more information!! Or you can get there by visiting our LINKS page, or clicking on the picture below! |
| 6-19-06 We've signed up with 1-800-save-a-pet.com today! Now our available foster dogs are viewed even more often!! Please visit www.1-800-save-a-pet.com to view adoptable pets (and don't forget about our buddies at www.Petfinder.com)!!! |

| 7-14-06 Amy has been adopted!! Congratulations to her new family!! |
| 7-15-06 Wiseguys has joined up with other local rescuers through Meetup.com. We'll be having a meeting on July 29th to discuss what we would like to do with our meetup group! Formed by a local sheltie rescuer, this group is for those interested in animal rescue and adoption. We think it will be a great chance to exchange ideas, meet other rescuers, and build relationships that will make all involved just that much better at rescuing! As we know, there is a lot of "networking" in rescue and we are proud to be able to assist other rescues in anything that they might need, and we know that we can count on those rescues to assist us if they see an IG or IG-mix in need! If you would like information on the Denver Dog Rescue Meetup group, please drop us a line! |
| 10-14-06 We are proud to announce that work has begun to produce the first Wiseguys logo items and accessories! All proceeds from the sale of these items will be used for vet bills for rescued dogs! Things are still in the works, but we'll be making an announcement just as soon as we have these items available!! |
| 10-16-06 As some of you may remember, last year's Open House to benefit Table Mountain Animal Center was a huge success!! Thanks to those who attended, we were able to deliver 470 pounds of dog and cat food to those that need it most!! This year we are thinking of expanding our efforts and if possible, changing the location to accommodate even more of our favorite shelter supporters! Announcements will be sent out as the holidays approach, and we look forward to seeing you there! Remember, there are always homeless dogs and cats that need you desperately during the holidays!! |
| 10-22-06 We are proud to be a part of North Shore Animal League and Weight Watchers "Adopt a Walking Buddy " campaign. This campaign is an effort to bring those wishing to shrink their waistlines into shelters and rescues to find the perfect partner for walking! As you know walking is a great exercise for those with joint problems. But did you also know that walking can reduce stress? And what better way to stay motivated and have fun than to grab a buddy and start racking up the miles!! Why walk alone when there are wonderful companions out there just waiting for a loving person to adopt and walk them! For more info, go here: Adopt a Walking Buddy |
| 12-3-06 We are receiving transferred foster dogs from other states and could really use foster homes! If you are interested, please let us know! Fostering involves simply caring for and loving a dog while they await the perfect family! Most dogs that come in need shots and/or spaying or neutering (expense is covered by Wiseguys), and you get the benefit of giving a dog an "Extreme Makeover"!! |
| 1-1-07 Santa brought the Wiseguys a DVD camcorder this year, making it possible for us to post videos of our foster pups for potential new families to see!! As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, and we believe that by seeing our little friends in action, they will become just that much more endearing to those thinking of adopting! Thanks Santa!! |
| 1-1-07 Happy New Year!! Here are our stats for 2006, and a HUGE thank you to all who have supported us, adopted from us and have been patient with us! And a special "thank you" to our families who must endure endless stories about dogs, who have "babysat" for us, and who are always a phone call away when the going gets tough!! And especially to "Grandma Wiseguys" who has covered endless miles with us on transports!! We love you Mom!! Dogs into rescue: 13 Dogs adopted: 10 Still in rescue: 3 **Please keep in mind that we really only got started in July! Not too shabby for five months!! We look forward to a busy and crazy 2007....just the way we like it!! |
| 4-20-07 Please join us at Petco in Golden on Saturday April 21st for an adoption event! Reputed to be the biggest adoption event ever in Colorado, it should be a fun time for all!! This event is sponsored by Petco and the 1st Judicial District Bar Association. Come on out and meet Petey and Cooper!! |
| 8-26-07 Wiseguys is proud to announce that in just a few short days, we will have Wiseguys crew members living on both coasts of the United States! Hershey (now known as Emma) went to live in Alaska in January, and Giovanni is heading to Atlanta to be a true southern gentleman! We still maintain our policy that no dog is shipped to its new home, and in both cases, new owners or friends of new owners have flown to Colorado to pick them up! This allows the dogs to fly in-cabin, and in comfort! Coast to coast, we're very proud that we've been able to change lives and give new best friends to so many great families! |
