Small Dog Rescue of Minnesota (SDR) is an all-volunteer group committed to the rescue, rehabilitation, and placement of dogs 20 pounds and under.

Fantastic opportunities only come by every so often, and you have to check this one out. The Target Center Arena graciously donated two free tickets to one of the hottest bands to rock this planet. Hailing from England, Muse will deliver a sonic tour-de-force that will certainly bring a smile to your face. Their hugely popular anthem “Uprising” along with their exceptional catalog will certainly treat your ears. These tickets are for October 5th, 2010 and puts you at the lower level, right in ultimate rock-out zone.

You must be wondering, how do I get a chance at these two tantalizingly sweet tickets? Is it a riddle to be answered? A haiku about the Price is Right? Or 50 straight days of jump rope?.....Close, but something far more excellent.

Between September 1st and September 15th we are accepting $10 donations to help save more lives. Each $10 donation will enter you in a drawing to win these red-hot tickets. All you need to do is visit our special Muse Fundraising Page and follow the instructions. The more you donate, the better are your chances of winning. So $20 will enter your twice, $50 will enter you 5 times, and so on. Donations will help us continue our mission to rescue small dogs in need.

The Rescued Animal Coalition (RAC) of Southeast Minnesota is doing amazing job in reuniting lost animals with their owners. The Coalition just recently started the SE MN's Lost/ Found Pet Page on Facebook.

Until this Facebook page was created, there wasn’t a single tool that all the area's organizations (rescues, vet clinics, city shelters) could use. Individuals who found or lost an animal would need to call multiple places in order to reunite a lost animal. People who lost or found an animal can now go to the Facebook page, post the details of their situation, their contact information, and a picture of the animal if they have one. The information then becomes available to everyone who has joined the page (729 so far and still growing)!

The Southeast Minnesota Lost/ Found Pet Page is geared towards increasing awareness of the plight of displaced pets. The project capitalizes on Facebook’s social media presence to spread education and to build stronger community awareness by not only posting about lost and found animals, but by sending out pet tips for owners. The Rescued Animal Coalition decided that this would be their first project; the more animals reunited with their owners, the less that end up in shelters. Go to the page and click the “like” button, which will ensure that you will get updates on your home wall. Most importantly, by joining you can help lost animals find their way home!
