Jennings Volkswagen Presents One Tail At A Time Bowl!

Jennings Volkswagen is proud to announce its One Tail at a Time Bowl! On May 31st, we will be hosting a free barbecue at our Glenview VW dealership that will also serve as an adoption event! We will offer free food, fun and games, as well as 4-5 dogs that will be available for adoption! We also encourage all of our guests to bring your dogs as well! Keep reading to find out more!

Jennings Volkswagen has always been a dog friendly dealership, and if you’ve ever visited our lot, there is a good chance that you’ve seen a dog or two around the dealership. So, we decided to put our soft spot for dogs to good use! During the ENTIRE month of May, we will be teaming with the One Tail at A Time rescue organization to raise money for dog adoptions. For every new Volkswagen purchase made or lease signed during the month of May, Jennings Volkswagen will make a donation to One Tail at a Time.

One Tail at a Time is not your normal rescue operation as they rely solely on their network of altruistic households and families to provide a foster home for these pups until their forever homes are found. They operate this way to make sure that each dog is well-loved and treated well while waiting for permanent placement. This method also helps them keep their operational costs down so that all donations can focus on the dogs needing help.


The One Tail at a Time Bowl will serve as a wrap up party for our month-long fundraiser! So stop waiting and go ahead and purchase that all-new 2014 VW Jetta this May and help out a local rescue puppy! We’d love to raise as much money as we can, so stop on in to your local Volkswagen dealership in Glenview, Jennings Volkswagen, to speak to a member of our team and check out the new VW vehicles on our lot!
