On Saturday, Stanley met some of his fans. Jenn from Furever After small dog rescue met up with some of the staff from the Duncan SPCA and they all drove all the way to Respect-A-Bull headquarters to meet him.
There was no shortage of kisses, and I'm sure that Stanley won the hearts of everyone there. He climbed up to actually hug Sandi, the manager of the Duncan SPCA. Jenn loved him, too, and she also managed some super cuddling with Respect-A-Bull's runt puppy, Cupid.
With so much going on, new people to meet and dogs a plenty, it surely was Stan's biggest adventure since getting off of the plane. He crashed out for a few naps on the laps of his guests, gave them plenty of kisses goodbye and climbed into the car to go home.
His ride home was squished, though, because his visitors hadn't come empty handed. Jenn came bearing MANY gifts. First there was cash donations totalling $367 that was raised by everyone at Your Pet Pals, a pet supply store in Victoria. Along with that, there were gift cards, around $300 in dog food, $200 in supplements and fish oils to help Stanley's mange, toys and a very comfortable dog bed! There is no way to thank the staff and customers at Your Pet Pals and Jenn for everything they pulled together for Stanley. Please know we appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts.
But that was just for Stanley. There were still boxes and boxes of toys and Kongs for all of the other Respect-A-Bull dogs, a puppy pen (and we have no shortage of puppies), dog treats....I'm sure I am forgetting something, but it truly was like Christmas morning.
PLUS, we still had an entire literal truckload of dog food to unload for Respect-A-Bull dogs!
In other news, Stanley smells awesome, thanks to his bath with his new neem shampoo, donated to Stanley by Illona at Scruffy Dog Photography in Ontario. She donated a whole natrual mange treatment that includes the shampoo, organic neem oil and a supplement for dogs with mange. Thanks you!
This is what happens when we all pull together to do what we can! We can't save them all, but one by one, we sure can try!

She also says a huge YOU'RE WELCOME and she was more then happy to help where she could.
I think I can speak for all of us when I say we had a fabulous time meeting Stanley and all the other dogs. It was also great to finally meet Dave, Jo-ann & Emily and they are all amazing people. The world of rescue is hard on a good day and Respectabull has been up against alot nevermind the fact they are helping a breed that still isn't accepted in society as it should be - yet they still keep moving forward no matter what because nothing matters...except the dogs getting help.
We met all their Pitties (and little fluffy Ginger!) and every one of them - no matter their history - no matter how they used to be - no matter their old issues....all were big wiggle bums filled with non stop kisses! They have done amazing work with all the dogs which was evident as we all walked in to a room full of Pitties who were playing happily and just looking for some kisses & hugs. It was so great! I just told someone this morning that if they want to get over their 'fear' of pits - to go to Dave & Jo-anns and meet their dogs. They could change anyones mind!
A huge Thank You to Dave, Jo-ann, Emily & Michelle who are doing amazing work. Please support them if you can. Beyond Stanley there are many more dogs that need their help. As they continue to say - there are thousands of 'Stanleys' out there. Without financial assistance, stellar foster homes & stellar adoptive homes - they can't do what they do.
Please help in any way you can!
