Denny's Way
by Karen Shultz
He started working with Sage two years ago, and initially hesitated from acquiring Sage since he was not sure he could do justice to Sage’s life. What if he needed something in the middle of the night? But after working with Sage, the bond became strong. Denny’s humorous, kind and firm ways – made a perfect match for Sage to be his working assistance dog. They made a remarkable team.
A tribute to
Denny Russell Sept 14, 1960 – August 25, 2008
Tender Loving Canines Assistance Dogs is taking the leap!
The Denny Russell Way!
The slowing of the economy has energized TLCAD to launch our TLCAD Integrated Campaign for 2009. Why? Because families challenged with a disabled family member will be financially impacted more than ever. We are eager to help – “the Denny Russell Way” – striving to make a difference by helping others – moment by moment – bit by bit.
TLCAD’s major goals for 2009:
1. Create a training facility internationally known for quality and humane training.
2. Increase the number of assistance dogs in San Diego County
3. Increase the number of trainers throughout the USA and the world for autism dog and service dog training.
4. Establish an inclusive center on canine behavior, training and disability awareness for TLCAD and the public.
Like most charity endeavors, it takes a village of caring people to make it happen. Our goal is $5,000,000 put into a foundation over the next 5 years. Sound impossible?
What if 500,000 people donated $10 over 5 years – then not impossible at all. Help us accomplish this “the Denny Russell Way” bit by bit - and donate your $10 (or more...) today. Click here to donate or mail a check to TLCAD P.O. Box 1244 Solana Beach, Ca 92075.
