Are you sitting down….

Kleenex in hand….

Cause I’m going to break your heart….

but you CAN help….I promise!

I recieved an email (which I will post below) over the weekend from Kelly Buschmeyer of Cuddly Canines.

Cuddly Canines is a California based dog rescue that saves puppies and dogs from a kill shelter. Foster families house and treat (if necessary) the rescues so they can be re-adopted out to loving homes.

As any animal shelter can tell you money is tight….especially when animals come in that need medical treatment.

Cuddly Canines is having a silent auction and need your products or services to auction off to help raise money to care for these animals. If you don’t have a product or service I’m CERTAIN they would be delighted if you could donate money for their cause…..even $10.00 would  help ($10.00 x 10 people = $100.00!….Do a little fundraising among your friends!)

Country Meadow will be donating several products and product packages to the Cuddly Canine silent auction being held on August 25, 2007.

If you are in the La Habra Heights area of California or plan on making a trip near there please contact Cuddly  Canines……they have the cutest dogs/puppies that are in desparate need of loving homes.

Dear Friend:
I am writing on behalf of Cuddly Canines Rescue. Our group is a non-profit canine rescue group.  Our main goal is to save the lives of unwanted pregnant dogs and their litters, as well as abandoned dogs that are left at high volume shelters that would ultimately be euthanized.  All of these animals are raised in foster homes until they are healthy and reach an age that they can be adopted.  We need to raise funds to help pay for our substantial vet bills that we have accumulated and we are willing to work hard for these funds.
We need your help with our upcoming silent auction to benefit Cuddly Canines Rescue on August 25, 2007.  We need items we can offer as auction items. We would appreciate a donation of any amount.  Your donation will help us achieve our goal for this fundraiser, which is $18,000.00.
Your generous donation of tickets/merchandise will be publicly acknowledged at our event through promotional announcements and flyers.  We feel that you will benefit from the community goodwill generated by your kind donation to the rescue group.  To learn more about our group or event, please contact Jodi Samird or Kelly Buschmeyer of Cuddly Canines Rescue at (562) 365-1252 or (714)713-6257; or via email at k_buschmeyer (at) yahoo.com.
Thank you for your consideration of our request, and we look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Sincerely,
Kelly Buschmeyer
Fundraiser Organizer/Volunteer
