Auction for People Helping Horses

"Urgent." People Helping Horses is a respected Washington state
registered 501 (3) c nonprofit that rescues, rehabilitates and re-trains abused and abandoned horses. They also focus heavily on public education and awareness issues to help reduce the number of unwanted horses, and have been successfully operating for 5 years.

Howeverwith economic uncertainties---their individual and corporate donations have declined dramatically nationally. And with the cost of hay jumping 140 percent in less than a year [as well as other feeds and supplies]the demand for rescue is expected to dramatically increase this winter, as people loose property, homes and jobs.

To help supplement needed income and prepare for winter they are holding their first annual auction, Dancin in the Dirt on Sept. 13th---and its bound to be a toe-tappin good time. To be held in their large arena---200 guests will enjoy bar-b-que and bluegrass and country music. Both silent and live-auction items are needed for a diverse crowd of bidders and revelers. Although attendees will be horse rescue supporters--- a variety of services, products, art, gift baskets and gift certificates are needed. So, think, travel and entertainment, legal, business, web and tax services and products, beauty and health services and products, pet services and pet health, home and garden, on and offline gift certificates. Ideas? Get creative with us! Talk to Patty. spiritquakemedia@gmail.com

Benefits? Many. Youll be listed on their website---and then moved to sponsor page until May 31st of 2009; receive special recognition on sponsor board at event; promoted with Donated By cards with each donation; and of course, you'll become a part of a growing group of citizens and businesses that are proudly stepping up to help resolve a growing national issue.

Depending on the nature and delivery method of service or product donations can be from most anywhere. And, if you live in the Arlington, Wa. area, or have contacts [help us spread the news] in the area. There are still tickets available at just $25.00 for dinner, auction and dance! Cmon over and meet the horses!

Angel's Gate is applying to Extreme Home Makeover and needs your help today, Tuesday, August 12 by sending in a quick letter to ABC. Below are all of the details, but in essence if you can mail a letter postmarked today, Tuesday, August 12, simply stating

"Dear ABC, Please carefully review the Angel's Gate application---they desperately need a Home Makeover to care for the gravely ill animals."

Send your letter to this address:

Lock & Key Productions
C/O Family Casting
P.O.Box 38670
Los Angeles, CA 90038


For the price of a stamp and a couple of minutes of your time you will be part of helping this amazing organization that has so unselfishly cared for and made a better life for disabled and terminally ill animals that nobody else wanted.

Please forward today to everyone else you know that would be willing to help!!

Thank you in advance for joining this incredibly simple and incredibly powerful mode of communication to shine a light on those precious animals in need and their amazing deserving caregivers.

PS. Remember content of your letter isn't that important...even if you just say "Dear ABC, Please carefully review the Angel's Gate application---they desperately need a Home Makeover to care for the gravely ill animals." That would be enough...it is the power of the timing of so many letters arriving at the studio on behalf of one cause that is most important. So, don't delay, jot down a line, get it into a stamped envelope and mail it today! www.angelsgate.org

Final Thoughts: Reasons To Give Away Your Dog

Final Thoughts: Reasons To Give Away Your Dog
This came to Animal Radio last week from a shelter worker. They wanted to share it with you:

Press 1 if you have a 10-year-old dog and your 15-year-old son has suddenly become allergic and you need to find the dog a new home right away.

Press 2 if you are moving today and need to immediately place your 150 pound 8-year-old dog.

Press 3 if you have three dogs, had a baby and want to get rid of your dogs because you are the only person in the world to have a baby and dogs at the same time.

Press 4 if you just got a brand new puppy and your old dog is having problems adjusting so you want to get rid of the old one right away.

Press 5 if your little puppy has grown up and is no longer small and cute and you want to trade it in for a new model.

Press 6 if you want an unpaid volunteer to come to your home TODAY and pick up the dog you no longer want.

Press 7 if you have been feeding and caring for a "stray" for the last three years, are moving and suddenly determine it's not your dog.

Press 8 if your dog is sick and needs a vet but you need the money for your vacation.

Press 9 if you are elderly and want to adopt a cute puppy who is not active and is not going to outlive you.

Press 10 if your relative has died and you don't want to care for their elderly dog because it doesn't fit your lifestyle.

Press 11 if you are calling at 6 a.m. to make sure you wake me up before I have to go to work so you can drop a dog off on your way to work.

Press 12 to leave us an anonymous garbled message, letting us know you have left a dog in our yard in the middle of January, which is in fact, better than just leaving the dog with no message.

Press 13 if you are going to get angry because we are not going to take your dog that you have had for fifteen years, because it is not our responsibility.

Press 14 if you are going to threaten to take your ten year old dog to be euthanized because I won't take it.

Press 15 if you're going to get angry because the volunteers had the audacity to go on vacation and leave the dogs in care of a trusted volunteer who is not authorized to take your personal pet.

Press 16 if you want one of our PERFECTLY trained, housebroken, kid and cat friendly purebred dogs that we have an abundance of.

Press 17 if you want us to take your dog that has a slight aggression problem, i.e. has only bitten a few people and killed your neighbor's cats.

Press 18 if you have already called once and been told we don't take personal surrenders but thought you would get a different person this time with a different answer.

Press 19 if you want us to use space that would go to a stray to board your personal dog while you are on vacation, free of charge, of course.

Press 20 if it is Christmas Eve or Easter morning and you want me to deliver an eight week old puppy to your house by 6:30 am before your kids wake up.

Press 21 if you have bought your children a duckling, chick or baby bunny for Easter and it is now Christmas and no longer cute.

Press 22 if you want us to take your female dog who has already had ten litters, but we can't spay her because she is pregnant again and it is against your religion.

Press 23 if you're lying to make one of our younger volunteers feel bad and take your personal pet off your hands.

Press 24 if your cat is biting and not using the litter box because it is declawed, but are not willing to accept the responsibility that the cat's behavior is altered because of your nice furniture.

Press 25 if your two year old male dog is marking all over your house but you just haven't gotten around to having him neutered.

Press 26 if you previously had an outdoor only dog and are calling because she is suddenly pregnant.

Press 27 if you have done "everything" to housebreak your dog and have had no success but you don't want to crate the dog because it is cruel.

Press 28 if you didn't listen to the message asking for an evening phone number and you left your work number when all volunteers are also working and you are angry because no one called you back.

Press 29 if you need a puppy immediately and cannot wait because today is your daughter's birthday and you forgot when she was born.

Press 30 if your dog's coat doesn't match your new furniture and you need a different color or breed.

Press 31 if your new love doesn't like your dog and you are too stupid to get rid of the new friend (who will dump you in the next month anyway) instead of the dog.

Press 32 if you went through all these 'options' and didn't hear enough. This press will connect you to the sounds of tears being shed by one of our volunteers who is holding a discarded old dog while the vet mercifully frees him from the grief of missing his family.
