CLOSED:  How to enter for the 2010 Calendar - Every year, the JRTRO produces a calendar to raise money to support our rescue dogs.  We are in the process of doing the calendar now, and need dog photos!  Please send your high resolution (NO cell phone shots, please) photos to Marie Zernask walkabout@ca.inter.net.  

Thank you to everyone who sent their pictures. We have made our decision and the calendar submissions are closed for this year.  Please hang onto your pictures, as we will be having another calendar submission for fundraising next year.

The Second Annual Jack Russell Terrier Rescue Trial

The volunteers at Jack Russell Terrier Rescue, Ontario (JRTRO)  have been extremely busy this winter getting things ready for the upcoming trial season. 

We are having our Second Annual JRTRO Sanctioned Trial on June 6 at Flamborough Valley Camping Resort once again www.flamborovalley.com. I am pleased to announce that Nancy Breakstone is our Conformation Judge this year. The Premium List (list of events) and the entry form will be available shortly, so please keep an eye on the websites for it. 

For those of you that have never attended a JRT Trial, this is your opportunity to bring your Rescued JRT out and let them strut their stuff! Most of the events at these trials are based on the natural hunting instincts of the breed, so no training is necessary, they just do it!

  
OOPS! You forgot to upload swfobject.js ! You must upload this file for your calendar to work

Planned events include racing, go-to-ground, lure coursing, agility, superearth, barn hunt, trailing & locating and conformation. Once again, we will be offering the Rescue Class and the Parade of Rescues, which are free to all those with rescued JRTs. In case you have ever wondered how your spayed or neutered JRT compares to the breed standard, we have the Spay and Neuter class which you can enter. This is our flagship fundraising event for the season, so be sure you and your terriers don't miss it!

Rescue Me Walkathon

Every year, we participate in the K9 Rescue Me Walkathon in June, and this year it is scheduled for June 14. The Walkathon is held in conjunction with Woofstock! The Festival for Dogs, at the Esplanade. This is always a great time for all the walkers as well as the dogs, and of course, all the money raised comes to the Rescue. 

As usual, there will be the prizes given to all walkers who raise $50.00 or more in pledges, but this year, the JRTRO will also be giving prizes to our top fundraisers. We have two passes for Marineland (good any time), a duffle bag filled with travel items for your next vacation, a JRTRO gift basket and a lovely hand crafted tote bag, and there may be more coming! A huge thank you to Amanda Norton and Irene James for getting these wonderful prizes donated. 

Last year, the two top fundraisers were myself and my son, and since we won't be eligible for the prizes, you have a really good chance of winning (but only if you come out and participate!). So mark your calendars and click here to download your pledge Sheet [.pdf]. 

If you are unable to attend, but wish to make a donation, you can now do that on line, and if your donation is $25.00 or more, you will get your tax receipt right away. Go to canadahelps.org/GivingPages/GivingPage.aspx?gpID=3509
