Great Wedding Story...Carla and Jason tie the knot- "Dog Rescue-Style".. story from Best Friends Animal Sanctuary

dog rescue, pet friendly weddings, best friends animal sanctuary

Great Story about a wedding with a dog rescue theme, featured in Best Friends Newsletter.


  Before we get to that wedding- we have to tell you about what a cool place Best Friends Animals Sanctuary is.   We know first hand because Christine volunteered last fall at their sanctuary in Kanab, Utah
























Best Friends in a nutshell:
they are the largest no-kill sanctuary in the United States... and if that's not enough...the DogTown series was filmed live at the sanctuary and shown on the National Geographic Channel, they also fought to save the lives of the dogs that Michael Vick was using in his dog fighting ring and were able to rehabilitate many of them.  Additionally, they were instrumental in the rescue of animals during Katrina...

If you would like to help Best Friends at your wedding, here's how, it's very easy!
There are a number of ways you can incorporate Best Friends into your wedding, anniversary, birthday party or any other celebration. Instead of party favors, for instance, you can let your guests know that you’ve made a donation to the animals as part of the celebration. Best Friends can also set up a gift event for your wedding, in which you include small cards with your invitations that let your guests know they can make a gift donation to Best Friends to celebrate your special day. For more information, or if you’d like to individualize how you involve Best Friends in your celebration, email donations@bestfriends.org or call (435) 644-2001 ext. 4801.

Make A Thousand Dogs Smile !

Steve and Christine Haslet had the pleasure of delivering
ONE THOUSAND tennis balls donated by Petco
to Baja Animal Sanctuary a few days ago!





If you have a moment, you can check out the amazing work done for
animals just a little south of border and in our neighborhoods on their website:  www.bajaanimalsanctuary.org/

We love and support
the work they do! 

Petco helps greatly by holding adoption events for these dogs in desperate need of homes from the sanctuary.  These events are held all around the San Diego area every month on Saturdays.  Petco in Poway, Sports Arena, Carmel Mountain and Vista love to participate!
 
You can call the Petco in your neighborhood or click right HERE for the schedule.  Adoptions are held on Saturdays 10am to 3pm in the various stores.   
 
The sanctuary is always in need and appreciates volunteers
for fund raising, helping with adoptions, and of course donations of materials and money.
Click HERE for their wish list.
Every little bit helps.

We LOVE working with MyPublisher SO much!

Maybe you've wondered about the gorgeous photo albums we offer our clients. We create them using MyPublisher, and we're here to tell you, they are one amazing company! We've been in the photography business using albums for over 20 years, and no one has even come close to their customer service, quality of their product and turn around time. 



Hey MyPublisher: We think you guys rock !! 
and the letter we just received below is just another reason we love you guys and love working with you day in and day out.

 MyPublisher makes it possible for me to take the pretty pictures I took at your elopement celebration on the beach and turn them into the story of your day!  Instead of a pile of nice little photos, you have something to be cherished forever. 

Albums can be ordered on our website, added to package
 or purchased for family and friends after the wedding.  
Here is the link, look near the bottom of the page.


Keep up the great work

Renee and Russ from Republic, MO.. A place we've actually been before!

elope san diego, weddings with kids, eloping at the beach, christine haslet photographer, steve haslet wedding offiiciant san diego

Renee and Russ eloped with us yesterday with their four beautiful daughters on Coronado Beach. We know Republic well because our son has lived there the last four years while attending school.



We always marvel at how couples with loads of kids are ready and waiting for us at the beach to be married.... and how sometimes  it seems couples with no kids and no guests manage to often be so late and disorganized ! 






Congrats Renee, Russ and family...you are heading for quite an adventure with your new family!
We know first hand... Christine had three small children when she married Steve 23 years ago.
