    Nikki, Merry Christmas. This message is the start of our monthly financial commitment to you and Camper Cares. My wife and I have been following your story, and her story is remarkably similar to yours. We had a rescue, McKenna, a blonde Husky, who brought us so much joy! He is now waiting at the rainbow bridge for us. We are so grateful for your passion and efforts to care for dogs that really need love.

      So sorry about the loss of your beloved dog. And great name for a dog. I say that because my dog's name is McKenna. Named after a brand of whiskey, same color. She's shep+pit+lab+? Full of fun, ton of trouble. Again I'm sorry for the loss of your McKenna. I'm sure he was a Great dog.
      And a very generous gesture to Camper Cares. Nikki is a lovely woman with a heart of gold & definitely a soft spot for animals.

    Nikki does that rescue also work with the “people” that are irresponsible by not spade & neutering their “pets” by educating them how important it is. That is the core source of the problem.

Not only do you need to check the property, make sure to check the laws so you can enjoy your pups in peace and fun. Also check vet prices in the areas you like. Pack your pups and head out for fun. Great job Nikki w/all your donations and helping others. You're amazing!
