Those who volunteer their time in our nation’s animal shelters have my utmost admiration and gratitude. The time and love they give means so much to these animals, who otherwise would have no one. One friend, Elisa, volunteers at the Brooklyn, NY Animal Control Center, where I found Mickey, although I did not know Elisa at the time. Her passion for the dogs at the shelter prompted her to join forces with one of her friends and start a rescue for homeless dogs, with an emphasis on promoting the adoption of the pit bulls and bully breed dogs that populate our high-kill shelters. When I came across a posting stating that purchasing D & D Doggie Treats would support their rescue - Balanced Buddies Res-Q, http://www.balancedbuddiesresq.org/ - I knew I had to check it out.
First I looked at D & D’s Facebook page and found this description:
"D & D Doggie Treats was founded in the spring of 2011 in order to help an overwhelmed local shelter raise money after they lost county and state funding. Today, D & D Doggie Treats frequents several farmers markets and outdoor events to support local rescue. "
After speaking with the founder, I learned that D & D operates out of New Jersey and makes treats for rescues to sell as part of their fundraising efforts. D & D does not donate money. Instead it donates treats to the rescues. “It is kind of like an ongoing bake sale,” says founder and baker extraordinaire, Melissa Simone.
On the D & D Facebook page I saw photo after photo of beautiful dog treats, in so many varieties, it was nearly impossible to choose just one kind, so I ordered several – bacon pigs, salmon bunnies, pumpkin dogs and blueberry butterflies. There are special occasion and holiday treats, too. All are natural and grain-free and look even more attractive up close. Even though I don’t live in the area, Melissa was very accommodating. My order was attractively packaged and shipped to me in Connecticut.
As beautiful and healthy as the goodies are though, the real test came when Mickey and his friends got to try them. No need to worry, apparently they are even more delicious than they look. As I write this they are sitting here begging for more!
I hope you will support Elisa and Melissa in their rescue efforts by sampling some of these incredible dog treats. Not only are they great treats but they benefit an even greater cause. Mickey and his friends give them 4 paws up!!
