Texas Husky Rescue 3rd Annual Golf Tournament

Event Date & Time
Friday, September 20, 2013, 12:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Event Description

Texas Husky Rescue would like to invite you to be a part of our 3rd annual golf tournament on Friday, September 20, 2013 at Coyote Ridge Golf Club! This is a great opportunity to gain valuable exposure for your business while supporting a very worthwhile cause – saving the lives of huskies in need. There will be registration at 12:30 pm and a 2pm shotgun start. Dinner will follow.
Texas Husky Rescue was established in May 2009 to help save homeless, abused and neglected huskies and adopt them in to permanent and loving forever homes. TXHR is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization run entirely by volunteers with no paid staff or shelter. We rely on our network of foster families to give temporary homes to huskies until their permanent home is found. TXHR provides necessary vetting and medical care and we are a responsible animal rescue agency in that we spay/neuter every husky prior to adoption. We are proud to have saved over 600 huskies since our inception!

How can you help?
1. Become an official sponsor. Our sponsorship packages are attached for your review.
2. Donate an auction item or raffle prize – no item is too big or too small.
3. Register to play – and invite your family, friends and co-workers to play!
We hope you will join us by sponsoring, donating or playing in our tournament. You’ll have a fabulous time all while making a direct impact on the lives of huskies that desperately need it. All of us at TXHR thank you in advance for your consideration and support.

“Beth’s CPR & First Aid Seminar is, without question, the most comprehensive and enjoyable pet care class I’ve ever taken. She uses her own experience as a veterinary technician and dog care facility manger to create meaningful scenarios and experiences that you can apply to your own pets. Beth ensures that every student understands each technique by allowing practice on both stuffed and demonstrations with live dogs, which makes the instruction more memorable. The 8 hour class simply flew by! It was a great value and I will be taking it every year from now on.”

One of the skills we teach is the Snout-to-Tail ™ Assessment.
Read how this saved one pet’s life . . .
A pet owner who took our class loved her little dog because she did her homework assignment of the Snout-To-Tail ™ Assessment. Where you go from Snout-To-Tail ™ with deliberate intent and purpose creating a baseline of your pet’s health. Also, so that you know more of what is normal for your pet, so you can more quickly recognize what is not normal for your pet. She found mammary tumors growing on her dog. She took her to the vet, who confirmed the diagnosis. Luckily she caught it early enough that treatment was successful. However, the vet did tell her that if she had let that go just another five or six months, the outcome may not have been as good. This simple skill that can take only a few minutes added thousands of minutes to this pet’s life.
When I tell this story in the classroom, some people wonder how she didn’t notice the mammary tumors in the first place. The thing is that she never really put her hands on her dog, from Snout-To-Tail ™ , with deliberate intent and purpose, like we teach in the class. She said she would come home from work, make her dog dinner, have dinner herself, her dog would sit on her lap and she would pet it.
