Hello. I am trying to help raise funds to help with the costs of kenneling of three dogs for my neighbor & friend, Robin Mark-Jowers. Robin had to put 3 of her fur babies in a kennel (Cricket Lane Kennels, Walland, TN) so she would be able to have the surgery she needed to live a better quality of life & take care of her beloved babies. She thought that she would be out within 2 weeks & have them back safe at home; however, that did not happen. She ended up back in the hospital for another complication that will keep her there & leaving her babies in kennel care even longer.

I met Robin (an Air Force veteran) & her husband, Randy (a Vietnam veteran), when I moved next door to her in 2023. Shortly after, her husband passed away, leaving her devastated. Now all she has is her fur babies that she loves, adores & spoils tremendously!!

She lives on a fixed income & is receiving some help from a local rescue organization (Blount County Animal Welfare Society (BCAWS). If more money is raised than needed to help with the kennel costs, it will be donated to this organization so they can continue to provide support and resources for other animals in need and their owners.
