Zumba for the animals: Tons of fun and a success for the critters

At the Zumba fundraiserA huge thank you to April Green and everyone at HT Fitness in Taylor for showing the shelter pets at the Taylor Animal Shelter, Taylor, Texas, some serious  support today at the Zumbathon fundraiser! Tons of people got their Zumba on, and stopped by to donate to help us raise money to help the animals at the Taylor Animal Shelter. April was an inspiring, energetic and upbeat host, and if you haven’t met April yet, you need to stop by HT Fitness and meet her – and sign up for one of her Zumba classes! You are sure to have tons of fun and get a great workout.

Dusty says thanks for your support at the Zumba fundraiserProceeds go to help the animals at the Taylor Animal Shelter. We’ve recently been able to spay and neuter 4 more dogs and cats, and help another cat with a severe infection. Every dog and cat that is spayed, neutered, heart-worm negative and up to date on shots is eligible to attend adoption events, which helps increase their chances for adoption. In addition, only dogs that are fully vetted are eligible for other special programs such as training, work programs and more, that will help them find quality forever homes.

With your help, we can make that happen for all of the animals that come into the shelter, AND help others in need when sudden and unexpected injuries or illnesses come up.  From the bottom of our hearts – we THANK YOU for your support today and always! Our sweet girl Dusty says thank you too! (Yes, she’s available for adoption.)

About Good Life

Launched in 2012, Good Life Taylor, Texas was the brainchild of a group of friends wanting to celebrate the precious things that make our community special — healthy, happy families.

Our fair focuses on outdoors, family activities including park use, pets, home gardening and backyard poultry keeping. We invite local groups who share our vision of a family-friendly community to participate. In 2013, we added a 5K race. A Kids’ K race was a new addition for 2014.
BIG CITY CONVENIENCE, SMALL TOWN TEXAS CHARM
Residents have known for a while that Taylor is a gem in Central Texas. Rich in history, lovely architecture and diverse culture, Taylor maintains a rural feel. Taylor’s quaint hometown charm is only 34 miles to downtown Austin.

RAISED IN TAYLOR, STAYS IN TAYLOR
Good Life Taylor, Texas raises money for specially-selected community improvement projects. We believe in reinvesting funds raised back into the community. Since 2012, we have donated more than $15,000. Previous recipients include the Taylor Animal Shelter and Murphy Park and Taylor Regional Park playgrounds.

Good Life Taylor, Texas is a registered 501 (c) 3 non-profit. Donations to our organization are tax-deductible.

Daisy needs our help!

dw4Friends, Daisy is a Taylor Animal Shelter resident who needs our help! She is in need of medical attention to remove a mammary tumor that is currently the size of 1 and ½ softballs – and growing rapidly! This tumor is affecting her quality of life and ability to walk. The staff at the shelter recently had to wrap her chest in a sheet to keep the tumor from dragging the ground and potentially breaking open. The good news is that the tumor is non- malignant, and preliminary diagnostic results indicate that with surgery and proper after-care, Daisy can be good as new, and should recover quite nicely. This will require surgery and after care in a foster home, including post-surgery heart worm treatment.

dw1Because Daisy is part of a bonded pair, and her companion also needs heart worm treatment, we are raising funds for Daisy’s surgery and heart worm treatment, and Whiskey’s heart worm treatment. The estimated veterinary cost for Daisy’s surgery is $800. The heart worm treatment will cost $300 per dog or $600 total.

Please come out and join us at the Texas Beer Company this Friday for Pints for Pups, enjoy good beer, great specials, and help us raise donations to cover the costs of Daisy’s surgery and after care. Check our EVENTS page for more!
