The Pack, a new canine competition series from Amazon Prime Video, will be coming to the streaming service on Friday, November 20. 2020.
Hosted by Professional skier Lindsey Vonn, it consists of a dozen teams of humans and dogs traveling across multiple continents. If A&E’s America’s Top Dog is the canine equivalent of American Ninja Warrior, then The Pack is The Amazing Race for dogs.

In honor of the show, Amazon and The Pack are creating a weekend of dog & human experiences and treats to celebrate dog and human bonds called Packed Weekend (11/20-11/22).

BAKE SALE FOR SECOND CITY CANINE RESCUE

8/23/2020

 
Picture
​Save more dogs by eating baked goods!
​

Eating to raise funds for dogs is one of our favorite pastimes. So it makes complete sense to host a bake sale to help raise critical funds for Second City Canine Rescue's (currently under construction) new Adoption Center. 
Picture
From SCCR: 
In the year 2017 BC (before COVID-19), Second City Canine Rescue began the search for a place to call home. Three years later, and only 10 days before Illinois' Shelter in Place orders were issued, we signed the contract and picked up our keys. We had found a new home – an abandoned former restaurant that desperately needed an overhaul – for our endless journey in saving the pups, and had grand plans to immediately launch a Capital Campaign. Of course, the universe had other things in store that no one could anticipate.

So, here we are five months later, when fundraising has never been more of a challenge, and when dogs continue to need our help just as much. But we’re not ones to back down from a fight. Our scrappy SCCR crew sprang into action out of our dedication to bettering the lives of our furry friends, saving money by doing demo ourselves while increasing our adoptions and lifesaving efforts by 75 percent.
Pre-Sales are over.
Pease join us tomorrow, Sunday, August 23rd at the Adoption Center to purchase baked deliciousness. We have breads, cookies, gluten free items, vegan cookies, and more! 

Less about the dough & more about $dough
