In addition to the $5,000 we gave away at our 2nd grant event at Furbish Thrift last night, we gave $2,000 to Kristi Orcutt of RVA Goats & Honey ~ That's thanks to this community's support last weekend for our Goats and Honey party, auction, and your purchases during the weekend. You are amazing.

Houlagans’ Rest is a rescue of last resort, accepting dogs who have no rescue interest, no adoption opportunities, and no time left to live from municipal kill shelters. Pounds and shelters in more remote areas, with few close-by residents, are often hardest hit with first-in, first-out euthanasia decisions. And at many shelters, “owner-surrenders” are at the top of the list for euthanasia, because they know no one is out looking for their pet. If the dog is lucky, the shelter calls Houlagan’s Rest. 

Using both foster volunteers and their own kennel, Houlagan’s Rest takes in and cares for these last-resort dogs, and works to find them the right adoptive home. They believe everyone can help in some way, so they pair fosters with the programs that suit them best, such as long-term-through-adoption, short-term medical, time-consuming puppies or even temporary vacation foster programs. 

Educating people plays a part in what they do. They screen and train their human foster partners. Pre-pandemic, they did externships with local schools to teach kids about dogs, kennel life and proper pet care and handling. Their program, Hike A Houlagan, aligns human hikers with dogs in their care for Saturday hikes at Powhatan State Park when weather permits. 

For giving homeless dogs, unwanted by other rescues and slated to die within hours, a shot at life, Furbish Thrift will grant Houlagan’s Rest $1,000 tonight. They are truly a Rescue of Last Resort.

* Grant event tonight, 6:00 at the store. All are welcome.*

Belmont Community Resource Services joins residents of South Richmond and North Chesterfield to mobilize resources, reduce poverty and help to build a vital community, together. They operate a food pantry and clothing closet that serves people struggling to make ends meet. 

The pantry is supported by a small team of part time staff, and more than 50 volunteers who sort donated foods and pack bags on Thursdays to distribute to all who come to the pantry, every single Friday. They’ve been helping nearly 1,600 families each month. In the hottest part of July, they worked in a parking lot to give groceries to some 575 families in just one day. With numbers that are constantly increasing, they partner with groups like Shalom Farms, FeedMore, churches and area grocery stores. 

Many of the families they serve have pets. Belmont currently provides as many as 70 bags of dog and cat food each week, included with the grocery pickups. To help them help people stay with their pets, Furbish Thrift will grant $500 tonight to Belmont Community Resource Services for their pet food distribution.

Ophelia is a soggy hot mess today, but we have some fun things here for when the cabin fever kicks in.

Saturdays are usually the prime day for cat adoption events all over town. Those rescues pack up cages and kitties in carriers, along with all the assorted accoutrement, and schlep them to locations with people traffic to find them homes. Washout days like today would be a good time to look up your favorite rescue and send them a little cash, let them know you appreciate their work.😻Image attachmentImage attachment+6Image attachment
