California Tour Part I COMPLETE!

Part I of the California tour is officially wrapped up and it sure flew by! On this trip we visited many great shelters and rescues across Southern California and Nevada, as well as met some truly great people along the way. 

On this tour, we hosted a somewhat unique fundraiser event for an organization called Pawtastic Friends. This is a company committed to providing enrichment training to shelter dogs in an effort to better prepare them for their forever homes. So while our fundraiser wasn’t specifically to benefit one shelter or rescue, in a way it will benefit MANY! Pawtastic Friends will use the funds raised to help train dogs in need of a little enrichment or behavior tune-up. 

As you can imagine, dogs that land in shelters have baggage, they have a history. Some stories are as simple as an owner surrender due to relocation or owner passing away, but most commonly the stories are much more tragic. Canine behavior modification is expensive and can take time to be successful. Inserting this extra step in the rehabilitation and rehoming of shelter dogs is absolutely wonderful to see, because it drastically reduces the shelter return rate of the dogs. Pawtastic Friends works with area shelters and rescues to help transform terrified or anxious shelter dogs into healthy, confident canine companions ready for their forever families. 

In addition to the training programs they offer, this non-profit also helps provide food, medical care, supplies and comfort items like toys to shelter dogs while they wait for adoption. 

This is just one example of the truly extraordinary work we get to witness as we visit hundreds of different shelters and rescues in many different states. This unique experience is worth highlighting, because it could serve as a model for other shelters, rescues and training facilities all across the country. 

After a bit of rest at home, Kris and the Jordan’s Way team will hop back on the road for Part II of the California tour! This trip will focus on the Northern part of the state and will kick off on May 15th! We still have a couple of spaces available, so if you would like to nominate a shelter or rescue to receive a Jordan’s Way fundraising event, please submit the contact form through our website here: www.jordanswaytour.com/national-tour
