Big Online Auction to Help Animals

I wanted to give you a heads-up on the annual Angel's Wish online auction; it starts June 1st and runs for the entire month. You have a chance not only to bid on, and win of our donated items, but on hundreds of items from other businesses and individuals.

They typically have everything from fashion and fine jewelry, purses and clothes, to gift cards, trips and stuff for your animal companion - a portion of these items, animal and pet themed. As of this writing, you can't view this year's items yet, but there is a link to last year's auction, to give you a better idea of what they offer.

Best of all, you have a chance to help a deserving local animal rescue located in Wisconsin, near Madison.

Look for items donated by PJ Publications and Gifts. This year it's a Far Fetched dachshund necklace, Sienna Sky Scotty dog earrings, calico cat earrings and a cat handbag.

I will post a reminder closer to the date. : )

Animal Charity Fundraisers

As hard as this economy has been on most of us, it's even more so for nonprofit charities. Some I've spoken with, especially the smaller animal shelters, are in dire straights. Holding fundraisers is one way these organizations help stay afloat.

I would like to post information about animal charity fundraisers as I become aware of them. If there are any you would like us to blog about, please let us know, and we'll do our best to post.
