More ways to help the seized dogs of J'Aime Kennel

Last week in Buxton we had the largest animal seizure in Maine's history. These animals need your help.
In addition to donating money, bedding, and toys, directly to either the Animal Refuge League, or Animal Welfare Society there are other things you can do to help.

Have you ever thought about giving your time? Once this blows out of the media, there will still over 250 animals that will need to be fed, watered, cleaned, walked, played with and trained. Please consider donating your precious time. These dogs may be in the state's care for a year!

Two local business have joined the efforts. Planet Dog has donated $5,000 and a carload of dog toys to be split between the two shleters invovled. Planet Dog has pledged to donate 5% of all sales until the end of September. They are also actively looking for businesses to join them in a donation match funding program.

Starting Monday, August 27th, Happy Tails on 130 St John Street is liquidating it's entire inventory of collars, leashes, dog outdoor gear, toys, bowls, treats, etc. for DONATIONS ONLY.

You decide what you want to pay and 100% of donations will be sent to the Planet Dog Foundation to pay for the care of the rescued animals from J'Aime Kennel.

Make a donation and take as many goods as you want!

See you there!


Checks can be mailed to: Animal Refuge League, P.O. Box 336, Westbrook 04098
www.arlgp.org and/or Animal Welfare Society, P.O. Box 43, West Kennebunk, ME 04094, www.animalwelfaresociety.org.


You can earmark your donation direct to the Buxton Breeding Kennel dog expenses.

Bringing up from the comments (thanks Bill)
Ocean Omega Fish Oil is also donating 5% of sales through the month of September. www.oceanomega.com

Kudos to Planet Dog, Happy Tails and other prospective retail partners offering their generous support of a worthy endeavor. That's what makes these kinds of programs work - a concerted effort on the part of the business community, the public who patronize them, the animal rescue organization and most importantly private support. Ohio - take note...it can be done!!!
