Our friends at Good Dog University and K-9 Daycare in West Springfield MA, hosted their eighth annual Wag-a-thon fundraiser to benefit Deaf Dogs Rock so we can continue to sponsor deaf dogs out of kill shelters into the loving arms of rescue. We are so blessed to have supporters in the Northeast to help us continue to help more deaf dogs in need.  Kim Balboni (our hero) who organizes the fundraiser every year, and her Good Dog University generous patrons raised $ 1260.50 to help us continue to sponsor deaf dogs and puppies into rescue. This generous donation will sponsor 5 deaf pups into special needs rescues throughout the U.S. We are beyond grateful for their continued support and commitment to our cause! Below is a photo of their chart with all the pup’s wagging totals.
