Blue's Story

To Begin, It Ends Well.

But not all do. 60% of dogs who enter shelters are put down. In Canada, almost 1 million dogs per year are euthanized.

Blue was found in a garbage dumpster.

...Behind a pet store that was going out of business.  Instead of trying to find homes for the pets, they were instead tossed into the garbage like used tissues. No thought as to their well-being or future.

Blue was one of the few who survived: he was lucky that, at the moment, a Tiny Paws volunteer walked by and rescued him.

Blue did not come out of this unscathed, but he is alive, loved, and fed.  He has a home and people who love him.  Blue is safe.

But such is not the fate of the many abandoned and unwanted pets.  That is why holds the Wienerfest Home County Festival: to raise funds and awareness so no pet is needlessly hurt, harmed, or killed.
