Hello, we in the dog show world are a family and we support each other during hard times.

Our good friends Marcelo Chagas and Roger Travis have had a tragedy. They have lost everything but the clothes they had with them and their dogs. They happened to be away for a couple of days and their house caught fire and is a total loss. NOTHING can be salvaged. It was deemed an electrical fire. Thank God they and their dogs were spared; however, they now have to rebuild.

With our help, they will be able to do just that. In recent years, Marcelo has had some significant health issues, so he is unable to work, and Roger is his sole caretaker along with caring for his brother. As a community, we have the ability to come together and help this wonderful couple get back on their feet. They are lifelong dog men who need to be lifted by us right now. Please, find it in your heart to help. No donation is too small and it will go toward rebuilding their lives.
