Rottoberfest results

Good morning! Sorry I haven’t posted anything since Rottoberfest.

I wanted to say thank you to everybody that came out and showed your support and to those of you that bid on the auction items that we had! Thank you to the businesses and supporters who donated so many cool items, and to those of you who volunteered to help set up the event. The final numbers are in...

We brought in $11,000 from the silent auctions, we brought in $9,000 from the live auction, which included a donation match by Lynette Baze and by Anthony Giacone of $2,000 for a total of $4,000 additional right there!!

Thank you, thank you!! Every dollar raised will help out a pup in need! I have not received the professional photos yet, but I will post them as soon as I get them.  If you have any pictures that you took, I would love for you to share them (email Shelly at rottenrottierescue@gmail.com) It was another awesome event thanks to all of you. I love getting to see some of the dogs we were able to rescue in the past. Everybody was so well behaved! I hope you all had fun!

Multiple donations added to Rottoberfest!

Huge thanks to Steve’s Ultimate Air for this pawsome donation! The prize he donated includes TWO stunning solid wood wine boxes that feature a hand-carved Rottweiler (hand carved by Kristy Hamm with wooden pig) on the lid and comes packed with goodies:

✨ A bottle of award-winning red wine in one box and white in the other ✨ 

Two elegant wine glasses in each box ✨ 

Cute wine charms & a fancy wine stopper in each box ✨

 4 tickets to a wine tasting at your choice of Winery 1912 (Sedona), Cellar 433 (Jerome), or a Cottonwood winery in each box

✨ And for your loyal drinking buddy — a “bottle of Red” and a “glass of wine“ squeaky toy just for your Rottweiler! 🐶🍷 Because nothing says love like sharing a glass (and a squeak!) with your best friend! ❤️🐾

Russ Durfee with Aquazona is also in my BNI Group and they really stepped up to help the Rotties for Rottoberfest this year!! They are donating an RO system by Kinectico. This includes installation and is guaranteed to bring you the cleanest water that you can buy!!

I had him do a demo for me and he brought us bottles of water that were filtered through this system and it tastes great and very clean with no after taste. I’m very particular about my water, and this system is fabulous!! It’s valued at $1000!!!

We received this big, beautiful basket to auction off at Rottoberfest from Sally at Roofgeeksaz, who is in my BNI group and they also just re-roofed both of the roofs on our patios after the last storm ripped off all the shingles.

They did a great job, were priced right, quick and clean! If you are thinking about getting your roof re-done, give them a call at 602-679-2957 and tell them that Rotten Rottie Rescue sent you!

I asked Sally what is in this beautiful basket and she said “The items are self-care items, wine glasses, candle, rose wine, a vase for the Lego flowers, a $50 gift card for Uber eats and lots of fascial masks and lotions.

Just girly things. I put the value at $150. This basket is stuffed with all kinds of great items to pamper yourself or someone you love!! Thanks Roof Geeks!!
