Hello everyone!

We had another great Meetup with 47+ Shibas and at least 13 first timers. I hope you all had a good time! We lucked out yet again with the good weather and all the Shibas were on their best behaviour. Even my sometimes grumpy, often on a time-out Koshi was very well behaved! He didn't need a single time-out and got to enjoy the whole Meetup inside the dog park instead of sitting outside tied to the fence. Koshi actually seemed to enjoy himself.

I'd like to give a huge thanks to my friend Dani who was selling tickets for the raffle! She doesn't even own a Shiba but she was more than happy to help me out. She did an outstanding job and raised the most money yet for a gift basket – $300. We ended up raising a grand total of $480 at this Meetup for "Paws for a Cause". Another thank you to everyone who supported the BC SPCA at this meet by buying tickets for the raffle and dog treats.

Many people at the Meetup expressed interest in joining team Vancouver Shiba for "Paws for a Cause". Here's the link to the registration page, you may also make an online donation using the same link: Join or sponsor Team Vancouver Shiba for "Paws for a Cause" 

Eric took over 643 photos at the Meetup but he's narrowed it down to 93. Here's the Flickr link to his photos.

September 2010 will be Vancouver Shiba's 3 year anniversary!!! I am uncertain at this time if there will be a Meetup for September as I will be very busy preparing for Paws for a Cause. If I'm unable to organize one for that month, I will try to have one in October.

Hello everyone,

The next Meetup will be SUNDAY, August 29th from 12pm – 2pm in the off-leash area at David Gray Park in Burnaby – McKay Avenue and Rumble Street.  Please follow the link below for the location and maps of the park.  Click on the Shiba icon on the first map, and it will give you directions to the park.  Parking is available on McKay Avenue, on either side of the street.  There is an entrance to the dog park right on McKay Avenue. Directions

There will be dog treats for sale at the Meetup and another raffle for a gift basket with 100% of the proceeds of both to be donated to the the BC SPCA's "Paws for a Cause" fundraiser. It's not too late to Join the Vancouver Shiba Team or Make a Donation

A really great friend of mine who is involved with the Shiba rescue group NW Shibas4Life has kindly donated a print for silent auction with 100% of the proceeds to be donated to Paws for a Cause.  If you are interested in making a bid on this lovely print, please send a message to info@vancouvershiba.com with "silent auction" in the subject line and the amount you would like to bid. We will update www.vancouvershiba.com every time there is an offer of a higher bid. 

The closing date for the silent auction will be September 1, 2010 at 7pm. 

The unframed print is 20" x 20" on a white 3" border. The print is titled "Sunday Drive" and the two Shibas in the front seats are the artist's own rescued Shibas – Fox & Hana. The little passenger in the back seat is LoveBug, a sweet little girl that was rescued by NW Shibas4Life from a life of misery in a puppy mill. She has since passed away but will always be remembered by the many people who knew and loved her.

Please note: the DancingShibaPhotograpy watermark is not present on the actual print

Thank you so much to Roberta Parsons for donating this beautiful print! She is a photographer of great skill and many years of experience. She has recently started her own business of pet portraits. To see some of her work check out her website: http://www.dancingshibaphotography.com/ 

See you at the August Meetup!
