A Puppy Needs Your Help - PUPPY RESCUES URGENTLY NEEDED

I am going to make this quick - I have a very short time and need to raise money fast - A Puppy Needs your help!

My good friends at For Paws in Auburn, AL had a client come by with a 12 week old puppy that she rescued - the day before she was to be euthanized at a Kill Shelter. This little puppy is sweet, in apparently good health and happy - unaware of her pending fate.

The young woman who saved her is struggling financially and can not keep the puppy - as a matter of fact - tomorrow is the last day she can keep her. I haven’t been able to speak to the woman because her phones have been shut off.

I got a desperate call from a friend of mine just this afternoon telling me that the puppy was going to be homeless tomorrow! I called For Paws to find out what was going on and was given this young woman’s phone number.

It turned out that even the women at For Paws did not know how desperate this young girl was - even her phones were shut off. My baby, Lucy, was at For Paws day care today so when I went to pick her up I got more information on the puppy - and an email address for the Foster mom. I have not heard back - I suspect her e-mail was probably linked to her cable or phone company and has probably gone by the same fate as the phones.

Neither I or For Paws have been able to reach her to tell her that we are going to take the puppy. We are desperate for money - as we try to raise funds for the Dog Orphanage.

I don’t have adorable puppy pictures to tug at your heart strings - I hope I will have them for you tomorrow. What I do have is a desperate need to generate cash fast - so I am asking for any donation you can make (see the donate to the dog orphanage to the right).

For the first 10 who donate $50 or more I am going to give you Private Label Rights to my dog teeth brush videos. You can re-brand them as your own and give them away to clients as bonuses, use them on your website to draw traffic, sell them…whatever you want.

You keep any profit associated with them. I am not marketing them for resale at all. I have them on YouTube and you are free to grab the code and put them on your website right now as is - but with my name and web address flashing across the screen.

If you want a version that you can brand as your own - be one of the first 10 to donate $50 or more.

In addition, the first 20 who donate $100 or more will get a 5 Day Personal or Business (your choice) Cleanse - a $297 value. Many of you know I do energy work - much of my work is focused on helping business owners cleanse energy in their places of business. Clients report new business and clients seem to appear our of nowhere during and after my cleansing work. (For more information see my website: http://prosperitywhisperer.com).

As soon as I get the new puppy - hopefully tomorrow evening, I will publish her pictures.

Help save a puppy!

Help the dog orphanage - puppy rescues are an every day need.

Your help is so appreciated. We would give you a big waggle and wet kiss if you were here!

Thank you.

Warm Waggles,

Foreclosure Dogs

We are all too aware of the housing foreclosure crisis - we hear about it non stop on CNN and Fox.

What we might not be as familiar with is the impact the housing crisis is having on man’s best friend. There are literally thousands of dogs being abandoned in foreclosed homes and even more given up to local shelters by loving families who can no longer care provide for their care.

Shelters are becoming over-run with foreclosure dogs. While there are many grass roots efforts to provide care for these animals, if something dramatic is not done - we will see tens of thousands of dogs, formerly living in loving homes euthanized due to shelter over population.

I know we all have families and businesses of our own to care for but there is a universal law that good attracts good. If you need help - help someone else in need. If you are struggling financially - reach out to help someone else prosper.

When you give away what it is you perceive as lacking in your own life - you align your energy with what it is you desire. It is scientifically proven that performing a good deed raises serotonin levels in the person performing the good deed, in those who are the recipients of the good deed and even in those who simply observe a good deed.

I don’t want us focusing on the pain and suffering. I want us focusing on the solution. I can see thousands of dogs and their families re-united in loving embraces, hugs, waggles and kisses.

I see a young family inspired by the second chance we have given them. The inspiration drives them with new energy and hope to find that new job and residence. It isn’t too long before Sambo’s parents drive up in their pickup truck and retrieve Sambo from our orphanage.

He has had fun and love during his stay with the Doggy Orphanage but what he dreams about, what really makes his tail wag is the sight of his parents and children walking through the gate with his favorite squeeky chicken toy.

When Sambo hops into that pickup truck he knows it was just a dream. He was just at camp, his family never abandoned him. He knew they were coming to get him all along. And, suddenly, all the other dogs believe it might be true for them too.

Let’s give families hope to ignite their rebuilding efforts. Let’s give dogs a chance to be reunited with their loving families.

Contribute what you can - as often as you can to the creation and development of the Doggy Orphanage. Every dime you send us will go towards sheltering, feeding and caring for a foreclosure dog.

When you contribute I will send you a 6 week dog obedience course you can use to train your own dog, as a model to use in your obedience classes, or as a give away of your own for your clients .

Look for an announcement about a new site dedicated to the dog orphanage in a few days where you can donate and download your 6 week training course. I will be developing lots of other goodies, so keep checking back and sending us what you can.

The site will primarily be used to generate awareness and funds but will eventually feature pictures and stories of the dogs you are saving.

Please use the donate button to the right of your screen to help right now…and check back for the next few days for the official dog orphanage website link.

Thank you and bless you for helping these families and pets.

Warmest of waggles,
Fran

Dog Orphanage - For Families Who Just Need a Little Time

Opening soon - a Dog Orphanage for families who are financially unable to care for their best friend and just need a little time to get back on stable financial ground.

We plan to start up fast, with what existing space and resources we have available so that no more families who desire to keep their dogs will be forced to give them up to a shelter with little or no hope of ever being reunited.

Ultimately the orphanage will be a refuge for all dogs that have fallen victim to the economic realities of home foreclosure.

We are asking doggy day care facilities, pet hotels, kennels and any one else who has room to be a local holding and receiving resource to contact us. Our goal is that we will have several receiving and holding locations in every state within 30 days and every major city within the year.

We are also looking for every pet care professional in the country to step up and support the orphanage. We need support getting the word out, raising funds, providing transportation, raising awareness and giving hope to families in distress.

Can you imagine falling on such hard times that you were unable to remain in your own home, not knowing where you were going to live and how you would support you family, children, spouse - and then facing the ultimate decision to give up your dog?

This is not about blame or finger pointing. It is about the animals and how we can help them. It is also about how we can help heal the families. The burden that comes with giving up a beloved pet can be so heavy that some of these families will never forgive themselves and never recover.

We are all responsible. Don’t sit back and deliberate the problem - if you do - you are part of the problem. Be the solution. In whatever way you can. Even if you think it is too small to matter - it matters.

Everything you do with mindfulness of a loving solution helps. Even if you only help one single family, and one single dog, your contribution raises the level of awareness and the consciousness for the entire country.

When each one of us chooses to be a part of the solution the ripple effect soon becomes a tidal wave. The energy generated from the whole is exponentially greater than the effort of a single person.

It is a reality that we get what we give our attention to. When we focus on what we want and not what we don’t want - trouble can quickly turn into a blessing.

Lets all imagine happy endings for these dogs and their families. See the families back on solid financial ground and driving away from the orphanage with their happy, healthy, loving dog beside them.

Then, lets move from our imagination to action. Your first step is to contact us. Post a comment below to help start the ripple. Ask what you can do. Offer your time, energy, prayers, resources, funds.

Get the creative juices flowing and watch what we can do.

“We want to make a temporary home for the dogs who’s families cherish and love them and just need a little peace of mind, just a little bit of time and big dose of hope.”

This is a message to “rally the troops”. More details are coming soon.

We can give this amazing gift to hundreds and thousands of families - together.

Thank you for being a part of the solution.

Warm Waggles,

Fran
