Zoey has really taken to blogging. She asked me to help her create a blog just for and about her and other canines. She says she wants to spotlight dogs like her. So there is no time like the present to start the New Year off with www.Zoeytherescue.blogspot.com


Zoey wants to remind you that there are tons of animals that need a FUREVER home. Also shelters need donations not only monetary but many other items too. She says to take in consideration that there are lots of humans who donate to wonderful, much-needed causes to help humans but there is not enough humans that donate to help save animals.

New York City Throws Last Surviving 9/11 Rescue Dog Adorable Sweet 16 Birthday Party


by JENNA MULLINS


An American hero got the birthday party she so greatly deserved, thanks to the city of New York.

Bretagne, the last known surviving search and rescue dog who worked ground zero on Sept. 11 and during the aftermath, is turning 16 very soon. BarkPost and 1 Hotel Central Park knew she deserved a special celebration, so they flew Bretagne and her handler Denise Corless from Texas Task Force 1 to NYC to honor the duo.

The devastating attacks on 9/11 were their first mission together, and Corless says that she and Bretagne now have a bond that will never be broken.


For her special day in the city, Bretagne was greeted at the airport in style. Then she checked into her doggy suite at 1 Hotel Central Park and enjoyed room service. Then it was off to Times Square to see a special billboard dedicate to Bretagne. She also got to frolic in the water (her favorite) at Hudson River Park.

Finally, she was taken to her birthday party at the hotel and received tons of presents and cake. 

1 Hotel Central Park also donated $1,000 to Texas Task Force 1 so they could continue to train search and rescue dogs just like Bretagne.

Bretagne and Denise worked many other disasters sites together since 9/11, including Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Ivan. Bretagne retired from work when she was 9, but she now visits schools to help first-graders and special needs children learn how to read aloud.

Thank you to Bretagne and to all the rescue workers who came to aid the victims of the devastating attacks on 9/11. You are true American heroes.


Check out the videos: 



Today our nation remembers the victims of the terrorists attack on the World Trade Center in 2001, as well as the responders who risked their lives at Ground Zero trying to rescue those trapped in the rubble. And one of those workers, who also happens to be four-legged and extremely furry, is being honored for her tireless efforts on that tragic day.

For the first time since that devastating September morning, the last known living 9/11 search and rescue dog, a 15-year-old golden retriever named Bretagne, has returned to the memorial site with her handler, Denise Corliss.





THANK YOU BRETAGNE



Woof, woof, till later, 
Zoey
