Support Konar Siblings' Mission for Rescue Dogs
Hello friends!
We are siblings Alex, Max, and Katie Konar. We are asking for your help to raise money for Last Hope K9 Rescue as our community service effort for our karate black belt test!
UPDATE: Thank you so much to all of our donors who helped us reach our initial goal of $750!! We have raised our goal a bit to try to do even more for our furry friends.
Max: "Dogs need to be loved a lot, and with no owner, that just isn't going to happen."
Katie: "Some dogs that are still, you know, in the shelter, some places they actually kill the dogs and we don't want that to happen."
Alex: "We're raising money because sometimes dogs are placed into kill shelters which is when the shelter runs out of space, and they have to put it down. So we're raising money so that these dogs can find forever homes. Dogs deserve a chance at life too."
ABOUT THE DOGS & LAST HOPE
All proceeds from this fundraising campaign will go directly to Last Hope. LHK9 is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit all-breed dog rescue based in Massachusetts.
"We are dedicated to saving abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs from high-kill shelters in Central Arkansas and beyond. Though our rescue efforts are focused in the Central Arkansas area, we also serve as a resource for local dog surrenders, shelters, and special rescue efforts in other areas. We don’t discriminate on the basis of age, pre-existing medical conditions, or breed, because every dog deserves to know love.
"As the literal “last hope” of the dogs we serve, our southern fosters pull dogs and puppies from partner shelters in Arkansas. While in foster, each dog receives love, care, and medical treatment, then receives a health clearance and transports to New England. After a mandatory 48-hour quarantine stay and an additional health clearance, each dog is picked up and fostered by a northern foster family who serves as a gateway to his/her adoptive home, affectionately known as a FURever home."

ABOUT KARATE
We have all been practicing karate for over 5 years. We have learned a LOT, persevered through tough times, and taken in lessons on patience, discipline, relationships, and leadership. We are now ready to test for our black belts!
The testing process involves requirements such as physical fitness (we just ran a 5K -- pant, pant), understanding our sport enough to create our own kata, and community service. We dearly love our own dogs, and wish that every dog in need can be matched with a family to care for them.
We are choosing to raise money for Last Hope, the organization through which our family adopted our dog Teddy (the white spotted one). Teddy's a lover, not a fighter; he gives kisses all day long; and even though he's 13 he still frolics like a puppy!
Please donate and help other families connect with their own furry loves.
