T
he annual Racquets for Rescues fundraiser for Dog-Harmony, Inc. took place on
September 29. The event was hosted by Hidden Dunes Resort Tennis Center and
sponsored by Scenic Sotheby’s International Realty. Guests came out ready to have
fun and play tennis for a good cause. It was a fast feed tennis clinic and round robin
event, which also featured a silent auction. Lunch was provided by Destin Hooters, local brews by
Grayton Beer Company, and specialty cocktails by Tito’s Handmade Vodka. The funds raised from
the event will all go to support Dog – Harmony’s rescue and humane education operations and full
transition to their new facility in October 2018.
The all-volunteer and 501c3 non-profi t organization, founded by professional dog trainer Nancy
Bown, “Is a different breed of rescue,” says Nancy. She also stated the main thing which makes
Dog-Harmony different from other rescues is they work to train the public and pet parents. They
also provide low-cost or free services like humane education, microchipping, spay/neutering
adoption and their newest service: Prong Collar alternatives.
