Mums & Roses

This weekend LBR held one of its biggest fundraisers, Mums & Roses! This is a giiiiiant plant sale entirely staffed by LBR volunteers, with all of the proceeds going to help the doggies of LBR. It was really cold this weekend, but that didn't damp our spirits -- or our sales!

We always have beeYOUtiful Tyler roses and tons and tons of mums, but this year we added something new. Pumpkins! We had lots of different sizes and varieties. Momma said  it was almost impossible to pick out the ones she wanted to take home.

We also had a photographer for our pumpkin patch! They took pictures of the kiddies and pups who stopped by, using their super-cute backdrop here.

We always have lots of doggie visitors too. This is a fun event that our past adopters will often show up at, so we see lots of alums! This year, little Miss Napoli was our foster guest of honor.

And guess who else showed up? Baby Austin himself!! Momma ran right to him and help him for some serious snuggle time. It was almost as good as getting to go play with him myself!

LBR volunteers totally rocked the plant stand! In two days of sales, we earned a grand total of....

$18,550!!!! 

Wooooooow, that's so totally pawsome! Think how many dogs LBR can help with that much green paper! Woohoo!! Thanks to all the hard-working LBR volunteers who worked tirelessly, and thanks to everyone who came out and bought plants from us! See you in the spring for Roses for Rescue!
