"My request is for a pledge on a per lap basis with an estimate of 200-250 laps, where a donation amount is based on the number of laps I complete given to PBRSD as a tax deductible contribution. Non of this funding is to be given to me directly, all operating expenses for this event are to be paid by myself as my contribution except in such cases where a sponsor would wish to assist in my endeavors in the way of tires, gasoline, subsistence supplies, etc for this event alone. I appreciate any assistance that may be given for this event, PBRSD, or the CMRRA." says Tootell.

Sweet Tulip needs your help!
After being dumped off at a local shelter a few weeks back, this 4 month old puppy continues to struggle with medical problems. At her age she should be running around and playing with other dogs, but sadly she has spent most of her young life in and out of the hospital. Donations are desperately needed to fund her life-saving vet care so that she can live a normal life. Donate Now.
Broken Boy Update
Thank you to everyone for your tremendous support for this little man - now called Zip. He had surgery on both his hips and is busy healing. He walks a little funny but is on his way to what will hopefully be a normal life. He still has a long road of healing ahead of him - but your generosity has brought him to this day.
Zip continues to need post-operative care and therapy if you feel drawn to continue to help out. - Donate Now.
need to rehome your pit?
Unfortunately we do not have the resources to take owner surrenders into our program. However, we can list spayed/neutered pets on our courtesy listings page.
Please read about ways that you can continue to care for your pet before making a final decision.
If you still wish to have them listed on our courtesy page, please fill out our courtesy posting form.
