Santa's magic - Lots of homes for 2012 barn dogs

Have you been keeping track of the dogs who moved through the barn this year? It's been a revolving door and with all the activity, we have a hard time keeping count ourselves. Here's a tally of 2012's part or full time barn residents who are in their new homes as of today. Such a good batch of memories! The (m) denotes dogs who had special medical needs beyond the basics.

 Brothers Riley & Ruben (m), Rita Mae, Olive, Blink, Jibboom (m), Talullah, Gris-Gris, Catfish Jones, Congo (m), Dyna Girl, Etta, Elderbull Annie (m), Elderbull Jimmy (m), Astro (m), Diva, Tippy (m), Rosco, Addy, Clive, Danny, Mama Maggie (m), Oscar (m), Rooney (m), Hugo (m), Jondi, Patsy, Bertha, Star, Gurdy (m), Moto (m), Rascal/Clyde, Bean, Possum (m). (Right: Patsy went home with Hannah, who went on to become a valued Barn Crew team member after the adoption.)

 Thanks to all of you for your support. I wanted to call out a special thanks to cyber-friend Carla Morgan. Every time we quietly pondered whether it was wise to take on another out of state cruelty case and/or dog with medical needs, a gift from Carla would magically appear in our mailbox as if to say, "Yes! Of course you should help this dog!" We think Carla must have psychic powers, not to mention the biggest of hearts. Thank you Carla!

 Our year end report is posted for your review: BADRAP 2012 Year End Review

 Below, 'Bean' got her Happy Ending photo taken with new dad, brother-dog Diamond and Santa at the East Bay Rats Clubhouse last weekend. Her new dad takes them everywhere he goes and they enjoy the best of times. If you live in the SF east bay, you're likely to run into this trio jetting about in Byrd's pick-up, and if you do, please wave them a hello. They're bound to wave right back at you with the biggest of smiles.

    I love your mission and all you do not only in the adoption rescue but also giving back in such a large way of your time and energy to your immediate community and extending yourselves and resources out of state. I will always be cyber involved with Badrap and wish all of you a successful and blessed year ahead.

    Wonderful. Thanks for all you do and for leading the way for fair treatment of dogs and people. A nonjudgemental approach to people and dogs. Here's hoping for more happy endings in 2013 and less dogs needing to find homes because they already have one. You inspire so many people and the education aspect and outreach to the communities is so important to help people help their dogs. Thanks again for all you do.

    Thanks for all you do. I got a surprise phone call on Xmas eve from my brother, letting me know I had some more $$ coming from my father's estate. I am planning to send some of it to you BAD RAP and some to Jasmine's House. Anything special brewing for 2013? I plan to be out your way at the end of April (celebrating my 60th year on this planet).
