Rescue 2014 by David Caudle

David Caudle with two of his Rescued dogs

My mother Adele is a life-long dog lover whose favorite breed is the Boxer.  Her involvement with the Second Chance Boxer Rescue organization began with  my helping Adele look up a rescue Boxer on the internet. She then got very involved in rescue doing fostering, transporting and other rescue duties for the SCBR over the years.

I had already owned two scotties and a westie.  When they passed on it was only a couple weeks before I decided to get another dog.  My mother's experience with rescue is what made me consider rescue Scotties. I contacted Barbara at the STCNE and rescued Angus and Molly, then Max and finally Robbie.   I joined the STCNE working with rescue

Age has finally caught up with Adele but when her beloved Boxer, Jack, passed away from cancer she agreed to foster a 12 year old Scottie named Morris. He is now 15, deaf and nearly blind and still a "chow hound." Best of all he helps keep my mother's love of dogs alive and makes her feel useful by helping animals.

Facebook and its importance to the Scottish Terrier Club of New England

---

Social media has rapidly become a significant part of our modern civilization. It is a defining trait of how integrated our social interactions have become.  We credit this achievement of the developments in technology and how that has advanced the creative ways that people interact with each other.  

Facebook today is the world's largest social network, with over a billion users worldwide.Some of the ways club members can use Facebook

• See updates and posts from Friends
• Share videos and posts with Friends
• Share information of the club's profile page
• Invite Friends to join Groups and participate in Events
• Share with available friends and members of other Scottie clubs and organizations.

The club will see continued growth in the community already captured and will attract a younger audience to STCNE activities.  Having a Facebook presence gives STCNE the ability to promote all of our annual events and activities for free.  It amounts to free advertising and a central point to build a larger membership base.
