One little NCCR dog waiting for her forever home made a big impression on a couple she met at a recent event. While the timing wasn’t right for adoption, they knew they wanted to do something to support the rescue.
Inspired by that encounter, Mike set out on a personal challenge to complete 50 kilometers by running loops around the Cassadaga Lakes area. Along the way, friends joined him for portions of his run to show their support. In the days leading up to his challenge, friends, family, and community members made donations in honor of their beloved pets, both those still by our sides and those who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
What began as one small encounter turned into $1,000 raised for Northern Chautauqua Canine Rescue!
Our heartfelt thanks to Mike, his friends, and everyone who contributed to making a difference for the dogs of NCCR!
