HERO DOG WATCH PAWTY @ BIG WHISKEY'S DOWNTOWN

10/28/2013

We are so excited about John D's debut that we want to share it with everyone! Of course, finding a dog-friendly, covered patio with outside televisions that carry the Hallmark Channel was no easy feat-- but we lucked out when a friend suggested Big Whiskey's Bar & Grill. 

The downtown establishment known for their food (OMG, the double battered fries!) and awesome selection of televised sporting events has graciously welcomed our team, dogs and friends to watch the show on their patio. Can you join us?

We'll be meeting at 6:30; show starts at 7. It's an all-ages event and your dogs are welcome too. (Just keep in mind that if the weather is bad, dogs won't be able to enter the bar inside--- so dress warm so you can stay on the patio with the cool kids!). 

Drinks and food are available at guests' expense (we apologize that we cannot be more gracious, but our small budget requires us to focus funds on gear, training, etc.)

We truly hope to see you there!!

ASDA ATTENDS SPARK! EVENT AT MUSEUM OF DISCOVERY

At ASDA, we’re passionate about dogs. We know their talents are so spectacular that they can be used to save lives—which is why we dedicate so much time and energy on handler and K9 training,  community education, and of course—search and rescue efforts and cancer research.

As we advance our understanding of dogs’ talents through clinical research, we want everyone to know what we’re learning. So when the Museum of Discovery in Little Rock asked us to be an exhibit in their inaugural Spark! fundraiser, we barked at the chance!

With the hope of “igniting a passion for science, technology and math,” we joined seven other teams to share some of the cutting-edge research happening in Central Arkansas. Not only was the event FUN, it allowed us to have an easy and open dialogue with our community. 

We had several people stop by our table to ask questions, be as fascinated and as impressed as we are, and of course, pose with the famous John D.

We hope to see you at the next one!

ASDA AT THE AHA'S 2013 HERO DOG AWARDS

10/8/2013

John D and the ASDA team traveled to Hollywood this past weekend to attend the American Humane Association’s third annual Hero Dog Awards. While there, we met several amazing dogs and people from around the country with inspiring stories. Elle, a gentle and loving pit bull from North Carolina, and the overall winner this year, is changing opinions with her therapy dog reading program called "Tail Wagging Tales.” We’re so grateful for the opportunity to meet her and the other heroes!

ASDA President, Donna Waugh, accepted the  Search and Rescue Hero Dog award on behalf of John D. Donna’s acceptance speech was a touching tribute to the ASDA team, our UAMS researchers, and the profound work ethic of our four-legged team members. 

The bright event, attended by starlets and pooches alike, will be televised on the Hallmark Channel on October 30, 2013.
