Special Needs Dobermans: Creative Christmas Crafts Combo!

Well, it's that time of year. Giving, receiving. Receiving, giving. Baking. Being thankful.

I wrote about Special Needs Dobermans once before, when West Virginia Whisper's accident first happened. Now I'm writing about them again, because they're having a Creative Christmas Crafts Combo fundraiser!

There are a whole lot of things in their fundraising raffle, and tickets are $4 each, or 3 for $10. They can't use PayPal to take payment for the tickets, as PayPal has a thing in their ToS against gambling. So, per the SND site, tickets can only be purchased by check, sent to:

Special Needs Dobermans

144 Road 2776

Aztec NM 87410

You can email Donna Campbell at raffles@doberman911.org with "Name, address, and email address (add your phone number if you wish to be notified as a winner by phone)", per the SND site. Also, the drawing is on December 25. So, since it's so close, "Donna would appreciate it if you would email her to let her know your check is in the mail so she can give you your ticket numbers!" (quoted from the page that the fundraising link above.)

Without Special Needs Dobermans, a lot of Dobermans would go without care. Without Special Needs Dobermans, Whisper would have had a hard time getting her swag robo leg. Really? Four bucks isn't that bad, and neither is ten.

Whisper update!

Back on July 16, I posted about Special Needs Dobermans, and about Whisper, the Doberman in West Virginia who was hit by an SUV, and whose owner needed help in providing her medical care.

Well, there is news! Thanks to the donations that came in to SND, Whisper was able to receive the initial care she needed at Virginia Tech, and get fitted for the orthotic that her leg would require.

Here she is, looking spaced-out and hopeful at the hospital:

Doberman Assistance Network Flower Power fundraiser

I mentioned back in June that the Doberman Assistance Network had a fundraiser through Flower Power fundraising.  Well, the fundraiser is still going until October 28, though currently The Doberman Assistance Network has only raised $114 out of their $500 goal.

Special Needs Dobermans, and a specific Doberman in need (Whisper!)

Occasionally, situations conspire to produce vet bills beyond what people can normally pay.  Special Needs Dobermans (http://www.doberman911.org/) is an organization that helps Dobermans in need, and also senior Dobermans specifically.  Donations made to them helps dogs that are owned, dogs who are fostered, and dogs who are in rescue.

SND has a fundraisers page with some dog and Doberman related items on it, and also has auctions, both of which benefit, you guessed it, the Dobermans!

I was going to get around to posting about Special Needs Dobermans eventually, but I currently have a specific Doberman in need who I'd like to talk about, Whisper (Aka West Virginia Whisper).
