Marvelous Marvin Memorial Walk
To everyone who participated in the Marvelous Marvin Memorial Dog Walk, the RISPCA cannot find adequate words to express our appreciation. It was absolutely an amazing success due to the efforts of many unsung heroes. There are so many people to thank, especially those of you who attended the walk, volunteers, donors, staff members, our sponsors, and the four legged friends who walked with us. Your commitment will help those caged in shelters across our state hoping to have the opportunity to walk along with us next year. Through your support, we raised $31,032.76, which broke all records. We would like to extend a special thank you to ABC6 and Tanya Cruise from LiteRock105 for their help in promoting the dog walk. We would also like to thank Marvin for all he did for those who had no hope but got a second chance because he never gave up hope. We are grateful for the legacy he left us with to help those who cannot help themselves. You are all "paw"some. Thank you.
Animal Rescue Site Shelter Challenge
We would like to thank everyone who voted for us in the shelter challenge. We are pleased to announce that we finished 1st in Rhode Island, 33rd in the United States, and 1st among SPCAs in the country. We would especially like to thank our friends at the Equine Site, Jenny's Hope Rescue, and the Bristol Animal Shelter for their support! We would also like to thank the Petfinder Foundation for the generous $1,000 grant they awarded to the RISPCA for finishing first in the state.
Henry is a 9 year old greyhound. He is extremely gentle, sweet, and affectionate. He came to the RISPCA because his owner was no longer able to properly care for him. He has quickly become a staff favorite and is looking for a quiet, loving home that will be able to give him plenty of exercise. If you think Henry is the dog for you, come to the RISPCA to see him in person and fill out an application!
