Celebrating Stella

On November 22, 2015, a fire at the Sweetpea F.O.R. Animals shelter took the lives of many animals. Thanks to heroic efforts by firefighters, a few animals were found alive and rushed to nearby veterinary hospitals for treatment. Eight years later, we’re celebrating the survivors and today we’re sharing Stella’s story.

Ride Your Hogs To Support The Dogs

On May 20, 2023 Scott Latour, through Latour’s Twisted Spoke, hosted the first Ride Your Hogs to Support the Dogs event. The bike ride was organized as a shelter rebuild fundraiser. The ride began at Latour’s Twisted Spoke, 60 Depot Rd, Charleton MA and concluded at Singletary Rod & Gun in Oxford MA. After the run, there was live entertainment, food, vendor tables, and an amazing raffle grand prize of a 2022 Harley Davidson Fat Boy 114 motorcycle!

This fantastic event raised $8427.43 for Sweetpea and $936.40 for Broken Tail Rescue!! We’re very thankful for the many riders who came out in the rain and were so generous with their time and donations! Thank you to those who provided raffle prizes, to Steppin Up for the live music, and especially to Scott Latour!

Thank you so much to everyone who made the day such a success!
