Karen & Carol's Match for UMDR Pups

In Honor of Our Beloved Kitty, Rita

This year, we’re supporting Unchained Melodies Dog Rescue with a matching gift of $2,000 in honor of our lovely kitty, Rita. She filled our home with love, comfort, and joy—and we want to pay that love forward to dogs who are still waiting for safety and kindness.

We’ve supported Unchained Melodies for many years because we believe deeply in their mission: freeing dogs from chains, pens, and harmful conditions, giving them real homes, and helping them heal from lives of neglect and isolation. Their work is compassionate, thoughtful, and life-changing—and that’s why we’re proud to stand behind them again this year.

By offering a match, we hope to inspire others to give. Donations made through our page will be doubled until we reach our goal of $2,000, helping even more dogs get medical care, warmth, and the chance to finally feel what Rita knew every day she was with us—love and belonging.

If you’d like to honor a pet who changed your life, or simply want to help dogs who need us most, we invite you to join us. Your gift goes twice as far, and together, we can create the kind of world every animal deserves.
