HoundsGood: Chronicles of a Virtual Volunteer

I previously reported that Saving Shelter Pets, Inc., has a signed copy of John Grogan’s Marley & Me up at auction.  The high bid is at just $31.00, so it is still a very affordable Christmas present or collectible for your library.  You can bid on or bookmark the auction now by CLICKING HERE . There is also a place on the auction web page where you can spread the word and refer a friend to take a look as well.

Right now, Saving Shelter Pets has a litter of Lab mix Puppies that are hoping to enroll in the Puppy Promises program. They may not be yellow like Marley, but with the gregarious and goofy personality that labs have, someone out there may just be able to find their Marley, the dog that they feel a strong bond with, if they are able to be saved.

Their owner was intercepted when they made the decision to dump the pups at the county pound.  Most dogs don’t make it out alive, especially solid black colored Lab mixes that just don’t get noticed.  They will be given shots, quarantined outside of a shelter environment, while mom and the rest of the adult dogs at the house are spayed and neutered.  The pups will go on to a great life, as they will be transferred to a reputable rescue.

There is actually an auction item that covers the cost of sponsoring one puppy. You can bid now to help one of these darlings out. Opening bid is $20.  For $50, you can walk away having saved a puppy.  You will not actually get to take the pup home, but will have the satisfaction of knowing that you saved a life and also may have connected someone with their best friend in the whole wide world.
