THANK YOU!
Dear Friends and Supporters,
The end of an era is upon us. I have made the decision to stop intake of new dogs, adopt out the dogs we currently have, and close up shop on ISBR. I have started a new chapter in my life and I make this decision with both smiles and tears.
I cannot thank you all enough for the amazing support and love and generosity. You have truly kept us going for so long and I will cherish every single memory. I don’t really have the right words to express how I feel. It’s a combination of sadness, anticipation for the future, happiness, and also grief. The grief is because ISBR has been my baby for over a decade. I’ve loved it, nurtured it, cried over it, made the most amazing lifetime friendships, and truly felt an awesome amount of love from all of you.
All that we accomplished could not have been done without sooooo many people. All the amazing volunteers who came to events, transported, did home checks, lugged dog food around town, Christmas gift wrapping, and more. I cannot possibly name each of you or I just know I would accidentally leave someone out. I am so grateful for each of you who ever volunteered for ISBR!!!
Fosters…truly the lifeblood of any rescue! Without fosters, where would a foster based rescue be? So many of you have become such special parts of my life and true friends Some of the dogs were easy, some hard, and some were downright REALLY HARD, but gosh darn it, you stuck in there!!!!! THANK YOU ALL!!!
And of course the supporters!!!! Those who came to our events, rain or shine. Bowling, Christmas gift wrapping, golf, breweries…and of course also the online events! The auctions, raffles and Idaho Gives A rescue cannot survive on adoption fees alone. Every single time you donated, participated, or even shared posts, you helped us! I cannot thank you enough for choosing ISBR to support.
To paraphrase Gabby Douglas, We accomplished something big and that’s a memory I will never forget.
AS A NOTE, if anyone is interested in taking over ISBR, let us know!!!!!!
MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT OUR AVAILABLE DOGS FOR
ADOPTION!
