Benefit Concert - Take Me Home Tonight
As many of you may know our benefit concert Take Me Home Tonight went down last night at La Salla Rossa! The event was a huge success, and we are not speaking for ourselves when we say it was a blast. Around 200 people (give or take) came out to support the cause, and listen to some great artists. With families sitting at tables around the venue, while others chose to be right in the action.. Everyone was able to enjoy. Yonder hill kick-started the night with a fantastic set, followed by the lovely Amy Millan from Stars. Millan took it away with her out-of-this world vocals, and even guest featured another very impressive up-and-coming artist. The Hoof and the Heel then came on and brought the crowd to their feet with catchy beats you could not help but dance along. Beagart gave a great acoustic set, with the Bud Rice trio wrapping up the night sporting the 11-11 Animal Rescue Logo Tee’s and closing the night on a great note. All the musicians we great, and we cannot thank them enough for their support.
We would like to say a huge thank you to our sponsors for helping make this event come to life; Montreal Critters, Lovechristine.com, CKUT Radio 90.3 FM and Have a Heart INC. Also to Meet You At The Show's team for all of their support.
Special thank you to Christine Hale (Lovechristine.com) who is not only an outstanding singer from The Hoof and the Heel but also an amazing artist. She has been with the rescue from the start helping us design our logo, website, and now a new line of T-Shirts! She has been heaven sent, and we are so happy to have her on board. Check out her art at the link above, it is worth a look!
Thank you to the co-organizers, animal enthusiasts and great friends Hannah Rice & Annly Ho of The Red Hot Veterinary Clinic for helping throw this event together.
Last but not least big thanks to the volunteers for doing such a great job; Joanne Mercille, Natalie Ross, Amanda Nicole, Ginette, Joshua Hornstein.

Good News - Rocco had his surgery!
Rocco had his operation on January 19th, and is now recovering, and resting comfortably at the DMV.
During the surgery, the Dr. Planté of the DMV discovered that the damage to Rocco's leg was even worse than we thought - thank you to the DMV for moving his surgery up! Especially, thanks to the DMV for their generous donation of $1000 towards the surgery.
A big thank you to everyone who has helped Rocco so far - to all his donors, including Walkin' Wheels, who donated the specialized wheelchair for Rocco's recovery.
Thanks to everyone out there who fell in love with this brave, beautiful dog, we have raised an incredible amount of money in a short time. But we can't stop now! We are getting much closer to our total goal, but there is still money left to be raised. We owe the DMV money for Rocco's operation, and Rocco will need medication during his recovery.
Once Rocco is better, his owner Justin, will be heading back to school, and able to make a new start in life.
Here are the ways you can help us write this story's happy end:
Go online and make a donation via paypal through Eleven Eleven Animal Rescue.

Rocco went into surgery this morning with Dr. Planté! We have not heard back yet, but fingers crossed everything will go well! More updates when we get news. He will stay in the hospital 2-4 days post depending on the surgery. We are also still waiting on the 'Walkin' Wheels' doggy wheel chair, hopefully we should have it before he comes home!
Interview with meetyouattheshow.com
On Thursday night last week I (Caroline Ross) sat down at a nice little coffee shop with one of the meetyouatthenshow.com guys, Eran Dahan. Although admittedly I was late (sorry!) for the interview, rushing back from my (one of two) job in the boonies. The interview was great, they are one big animal loving team over there at meetyouatthenshow.com and we are ecstatic to have them right on board supporting us!

Adopted January 17th, 2010
This little budgie was found in a snowbank on the 23rd of December. He spent a lonely Christmas at a veterinary clinic. However, today the lucky boy arrived at his new forever home. he now has a million birdy toys, a huge new cage, and will soon have a baby brother to chat with!
Another Happy Ending!
Bambi - For Adoption
Bambi has been for adoption with us for over 3 months now!! She's the sweetest, cutest & softest kitty ever... Not to mention stunning! Her fur is as soft as it looks! It is the texture of long hair, but short hair. Its like petting a big soft fluffy cloud.
Baxter - Adopted!
Baxter was adopted today! After being an a great foster home for over two months he has now been placed in his forever home where he will be spoiled in love and affection. Baxter came to us after his previous owner passed away from and he was inherited by his wife who was grieving and wanted nothing to do with the dog. Baxter was locked in a garage and forced to live in his own feces and urine, the only human interaction he got was when the woman would open up the door to yell at him for doing his business in the garage. However she never opened the door up to give him another option. He came to us full of mats, fleas and urine burns and blossomed into a healthy, happy, good lookin' little guy! What a character he turned out to be, we are very happy to have aided him through this and see him starting such a promising new life.
