VACCINATIONS

For the sake of all of our furkids....please make sure that your dog(s) are properly vaccinated against the following prior to attending the Door County Scottie Rally or any public dog gathering:

  • Rabies and the Distemper series
  • Bordetella (prevention of kennel cough particularly when dogs are in close quarters  

Please discuss with your veterinarian if you have questions or concerns.

NEW SILENT AUCTION GUIDELINES 

The success of the Rally is very much dependent upon our attendees participation in all that we offer during the day.  We ask that if you participate in the Silent Auction that you come with an open heart to serve the health and welfare of our beloved breed.  We think that these new guidelines might make the Silent Auction a bit more enjoyable for all involved:

  • Although auction closing time is posted, a variance may occur based on program schedule.
  • A  5 minute warning will be announced and an auction bell will be rung
  • At that time bidders are encouraged to commit to your absolute highest bid and step away from the table to allow others to do the same. 
  • Please enjoy the thrill of helping our furkids and taking home a treasure!

DONATING ITEMS FOR THE SILENT AUCTION

If you've been thinking of downsizing your scottie collection PLEASE think of us.  You'll be able to receive tax credit as well as contribute to our mission!   Donation of scottie items are welcome year-round regardless of their size.  Nothing is too small as it can always help our Scottie elves fill those unique baskets that only we offer!  Think of the Rally as you do shopping year-round or receive duplicate gift items!  We'll be grateful that you did!

CONTINUED OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO PITCH IN !

Most likely your friends and family members know how important your furkids are to you.  We're inviting you to join us in raising additional money for Scottie Rescue by asking your friends, neighbors and family members to support your participation in the Parade of the Scots regardless of whether you & your kids ride or walk the 1.8 mile route.  Recruiting pledges is not mandatory BUT wouldn't it be great if everyone could play an active role in raising funding for our furkids and their extended family?  It'll give you a chance to talk about the the work we collectively do to support and celebrate our noble breed!  So download a pledge form and start recruiting Scottie sponsors! Besides making a difference, you may win a fabulous prize for raising the most money!

FORM CAN BE PRINTED OUT ON OUR WEBSITE OR CAN BE MAILED TO YOU IF YOU CALL 920-493-5878

CONTESTS……………. 

  • COSTUME CONTEST:  We recognize that one of the things we all have in common is a desire to have fun!  For years there has been a small contingency of our attendees who go out of their way to decorate their Scottie wagons or their Scotties for the day.  This year we are encouraging you to consider dressing your furkid(s) in costume or Scottitude as you may deem appropriate!  A special prize will be awarded to the Scottie & their owner whose apparel or method of transport in the Parade of Scots best matches our 2013 theme: A Baker’s Dozen!  So put on your thinking (or perhaps baking caps) and lets see who amongst us is the most creative!
  • BEST OF….Think you’ve got a furkid that can fit into one of these categories?   

o    Biggest Ears 

o    Longest Tail 

o    Roo Roo Aroo-er 

o    Best Head Tilt 

o    Best Scottie Wannabee (open to any non Scottie attendee)

Be sure to register to enter these contests on your registration form and watch for the designated contest area on Rally weekend!  Award winners will be announced beginning at 3:15pm  

 

HOME AGAIN MICRO-CHIPPING CLINIC     Cost $ 40 (includes Home Again registration fee) 

Premiering this year is the opportunity to have your furkid(s) microchipped to ensure recovery of your furkid(s) should they inadvertently get away from you or your home.   Don’t think it can’t happen to you…because it happens to the best parents and families!  Highly recommended by most vets, the Home Again chip: 

a. doesn't migrate under the skin after insertion 

b. has a proactive recovery program where the company faxes all local shelters, vets and rescues in the local area a wanted poster when the pet is lost. This poster includes the pets photo if the owners have uploaded it to the website which is super easy to do. 

c. Free calls to the ASPCA poison control hotline which costs $65 per call for everyone else.

B and C above are included in the registration for the first year. After that, there is a small annual charge to continue the premium services. If people choose not to, the chip still works in their computer system, but owner's don't get benefits B and C above.
