Shelby

Shelby, owned by Jeff DeHoff, passed away on Wednesday July 14th from cancer.  Her work with children and adults was extraordinary! 

The “all American mixed breed” brought many smiles to those who visited with her and worked with her. 

She loved, gave, and shared with an open heart.  A true family dog to all of us, from the day we adopted her!    She’s sadly missed by the entire DeHoff family.

Smokie shows at the Findlay Firecracker Show July 10, 11, 2010

Matthew Cramer is showing Smokie this year and doing a great job.

These two are a pleasure to watch in the ring and out.

 

Volunteers Emily Worz, Barb Guinther, Joel Yeasting and Paul/Deb DeHoff traveled to the show to offer support and visit with the Cramer family.   What a treat and we certainly plan to visit more shows this year. 

 

Smokie looks great and you can tell he just loves Matthew. 

 

 

 

Show horse Smokie!

 

 

 

Serenity Volunteers gave Matthew a 2k/5k t-shirt that he proudly wore under his show shirt and all day long.

 

 

Manes N Make-Up

Our Manes N Make up girls program was a huge fun success for younger girls and our volunteers too! Building self esteem through projects and horse skills proved to be a true winner!

The garage sale was a big success.  We raised over $2,000.oo and want to thank the community for their support.  Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers that put in many hours of “fun” work with this project to raise funds for SF.   A big thank you to the F.O.P. of BG for donating the building space.
