A Veterinarian Walks Away From Private Practice to Save Homeless Animals

Our annual fundraiser, the BARC Gala was last month, and we are thrilled with the attendance and the amount raised: $62,000 towards the rescue hospital!  As in years past, the incomparable Tony Zazza was our emcee.  He told the touching story of his own Mazie's Mission dog, Belle.  There weren't many dry eyes after he spoke.


It was not a good night for those of us with mascara on.  Our latest video showing before and after footage of some of our rescues from this year, of the clinic opening and of the community outreach projects we work with brought down the house.  If you haven't seen it, grab the tissue, click below and get ready for your heart to explode.



I warned you!

The board of directors presented Erin with an award for all that she has accomplished for rescue in the last five years.




The Embassy Suites in Frisco did an amazing job with dinner.  There were delicious vegetarian and vegan options--I should have taken pictures of the food, but I was too busy eating.

We thank everyone who attended, volunteered, donated, shared on social media, etc.  We could not do this without you!  Of course, we still very much need sponsors for our full-scale hospital to become a reality.  Please consider visiting our website to sign up as a monthly donor.  It just takes one step through PayPal and you can support the mission every month!  http://maziesmission.org/donate-cash

As always, thanks for reading and for sharing our videos.

XOXO,

----the Mazie's Mission Family
