6/28/08  Kids for Kritters Klub members Scott with his rescue dog, "Piper" and Britt with her rescue dog "Reggie", score big in Lake County's 2008 4-H Dog Show at the Lake County Fairgrounds.
Scott and Piper had 2 first place finishes, 1 second place and a Reserve Grand Champion. Britt and Reggie had 3 first place finishes, 1 Reserve Grand Champion and a Grand Champion. Give a rescue some love, turn them loose and they will walk away a winner everytime. Nice job guys. You have made this rescue very, very proud!

2/11/08 Britt takes "Rescue Reggie" all of the way to the top. Under the leadership of Maria Betlinski, trainer for Double M Obedience, Reggie and his handler, Britt just passed their C.G.C. [Canine Good Citizen] Certification Program. The program is an intense 8 week course designed to prepare our canine companions for therapy work. Reggie was rescued last year shortly after Thanksgiving. Our House of Hope Executive Director, Lisa Krinninger states that "Reggie is a great goodwill ambassador for this rescue and that his amazing spirit must be shared". Nice work Britt and a BIG THANK YOU TO MARIA AND DOUBLE M OBEDIENCE for believing in this rescue and the work that we do.

WE DID IT!
We reached our goal and presented Conservation Police Dog "Charlie" his new bullet proof and stab resistant police vest to keep him safe while he works to protect us.

On September 22, 2007, the KIDS FOR KRITTERS KLUB participated in a vesting ceremony sponsored by Illinois Vest- A - Dog. The kids klub had set a goal, researched the program, came up with a plan and over the course of several months, raised the $ 825.00 needed to buy Charlie his new custom made vest. The presentation of the vest was held in conjunction with THE RAYS AWARENESS RUN / WALK for MELANOMA RESEARCH at Independence Grove in Libertyville, Illinois.

Realizing that when there is a cure for cancer in humans, help for our canine companions will likely soon follow, Our House of Hope presented an additional $257.00 to the Koutny Family in honor of their mother whom they lost suddenly to cancer just 3 years ago. This donation will go to support Melanoma Research.

RESCUE DOGS ARE WINNERS !
Kids for Kritters Klub members, Scott and Britt participated with their individual rescue dogs at the Lake County 4-H Dog Show. Both of them received Grand Champion status and will compete in August at the state level in Springfield, Illinois.
Scott [15] and his 2 yr. old Lurcher, "Piper", took Grand Champion in grooming and dog care and "Piper" won over all short hair breed dog.This was Scott and Piper's 1st attempt at competition. "Piper" was found as a stray that was chained to a tree in rural Missouri in 2006.
Britt [10] and her 3 year old long hair Chihuahua "Chico" won Grand Champion in both dog grooming  and showmanship. Chico was a Lake County,Il. rescue who was bought via the internet to be used for breeding purposes, abused and then discarded. This is Britt and Chico's first showing as well.
Congrats to both of you and a big THANKYOU to Maria  at Double M Obedience and Kym and Cathy at Kym's Canine College for all of their help and support over the last year. You are all true friends of this rescue and the best of role models for our children.
