Support $500 Match for UMDR pups on CoMoGives Panda and Winston love to help rescue pups! We are matching $500 for Unchained Melodies Dog Rescue.

If you've enjoyed my foster exploits these last 8 years, then you've met the many pups I've fostered with UMDR. We rescue pups who are chained, abused and abandoned across Missouri. Help us rescue more pups in need by donating to my match! www.comogives.com/story/pandaw...

You wouldnโ€™t know looking at this innocent seeming fluffy angel that he would be able to catch a live snake on a walk and whip it around like a professional on WWE while I scream โ€œNoooooooo??โ€ in horror.

Happy Friday to all (and apologies to the snek who was dropped and seemed to be fine ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ)
