Town and Country Humane Society & Start Over Rover

Next, the dogs were going to get filled Kong toys if the fundraiser broke $6000, and it DID! The dogs loved their tasty treats. 

To up the ante even higher, burger mania could only be achieved if the fundraiser beat the year prior and if not, the burgers would be skipped and the staff would get a super cold hose down! 

The operations manager at Town and Country Humane Society is Diana, who agreed to spend the night in the kennel with Mila if the next milestone wasn’t met. At the last minute, a very generous donation came in and Diana had a sleepover with Mila in the kennel! 

The dogs at Town and Country LOVED the puppy love challenge. Bernadette was possibly one of the most enthusiastic puppy love canine participants we’ve ever seen! She didn’t leave a drop on her friend’s face. The next puppy love challenge was for Murphy, and he too was loving the whipped cream clean up duty. Bernadette (licking her nose in the photo below) and Murphy (wearing a handsome 'adopt me' harness in the photo below) have both been in the shelter for a long time, patiently waiting for their forever homes. If you could be their family forever, go to www.townandcountryhumanesociety.org/dogs/ to see if you’re a good match.

The second half of Town and Country Humane Society’s fundraiser was on FIRE. We wrapped up with the ice bucket challenge and because we beat last year’s fundraiser by a landslide, the dogs were all spoiled by burger mania!!

After a bit of rest following a super fun night at Town and Country Humane Society, first up this morning, we were at Start Over Rover in Hastings, Nebraska. The fundraiser kicked off with the puppachino challenge. Thankfully, a donor stepped up with only 40 seconds left to spare in the challenge and the dogs all got a puppachino!

During our bailout wars challenge, Ghost showed Maddie on Team 1 some peanut butter love in makeout mania.  Ghost is a 5 year old, beautiful Pit Bull Terrier. If you can provide a loving, forever home for Ghost, please go to www.startoverrover.org/new-page-1 to inquire about her adoption.

Bailout wars Team 2 were locked up with M’Lynn who has been in the shelter since June of 2020. That’s almost 3 long years! M’Lynn prefers to be your only pet but does okay with older children. If you are interested in M’Lynn, head over to www.startoverrover.org/new-page-1 to see if you’re a good match.

Team 1 ended up getting beat out by Team 2 so they got to pie their competition right in the face! Jadyn from Team 1 got revenge on Daniel from Team 2 for pie face with the ice bucket challenge. $90 was needed to get Jadyn her revenge and we made it! Daniel was dunked with a bucket of icy water! Kelly was next if a donation came in and it did quickly! A frozen Daniel gave Kelly the ice bucket next. 

Mega bailout took place in the small dog rom. The Start Over Rover Staff had 25 minutes to raise $1000. If they didn’t meet the goal, the staff all got a hose down. While they waited to learn their fate, they made it rain treats for the dogs. When the 25 minutes were up, they raised over $1400 and were set free!

To finish the fundraiser out strong, every dog got a cupcake if we reached $9,000. Luckily for the dogs, the generous donors saved the day and the dogs enjoyed a tasty cupcake treat!

Thank you to all of the donors and local businesses who stepped up to show Start Over Rover their support. Fundraisers like these wouldn’t be such a huge success without the help of all of you! As always, the fundraiser link will remain live for the next 7 days so if you didn’t get a chance to show your support, don’t worry! Go to www.facebook.com/donate/1180600112827861/ and keep that number climbing!
