Welcome to the forum, Dogman! Creative cover.
Yes, I've been meaning to create a thread to promote the Peanut Pet Shelter calendars. Thanks to all those who did it for me!
I just want to add that if you are buying a calendar(s) online, you can make the payment process a little easier on yourself by simply clicking on the Donate button on the
Donations page of the pet shelter website. No need to worry about typing or copying & pasting the email address correctly. Just enter the amount you are paying, and log into Paypal (or enter your address & credit card info). Use the "Add special instructions for the Merchant" section to indicate the number of calendars you are ordering.
I have not yet had the privilege of seeing the calendars, even though I mailed a bunch of them out. (I was so disappointed when Andy delivered them all sealed up in their envelopes!) But I am very familiar with the cause and have visited the shelter, and I can tell you that the funds raised from calendar sales and all other donations are put to good work!
Andy and Jen rescue "unwanted" puppies and adult dogs from the streets, get them spayed/neutered, vaccinated and healthy. Then they find loving homes for as many as possible, and provide a safe haven for the rest. I believe they currently have about 40 dogs and are bursting to the seams. It is no easy task to care for so many dogs. Honestly, I don't envy them, but I do admire them. I couldn't do it!
As you can imagine, caring for so many dogs is not only exhausting but expensive as well. When I visited the shelter a couple of weeks ago, I brought along three 50 pound bags of dog food. Andy informed me that the food wouldn't even last them a week! Yikes!
I know that it's not my calling to do what Andy & Jen do (although if my husband ever leaves me, I WILL be the crazy cat lady). So, I will continue to do whatever I can to support Andy & Jen so that they may continue to do their good work. I hope you will too.
