Hoghead and Piglet to meet The Dog Whisperer!



WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Hoghead and Piglet, two of the pit bulls we rescued in New Orleans, are going to be given a second chance at life, love and the pursuit of dogginess. They've been accepted by Brandon Faucher, a man who trained with Cesar Millan (aka The Dog Whisperer, --check out his show on National Geographic!). Brandon is following in Cesar's footsteps and has agreed to take our two pit babies on to "rehab" them and give them another shot at life.

But, as always, there is a price to pay. We have to raise $1,000 per dog just to send them to the Dog Whisperer, and then another ~$500 or so to transport them (by plane) to California. (They are currently in Tennessee.) When we can get them out here, I will pick them up and drive them to Brandon's from the airport (can't wait to see Hoggy and Piggy again!), but first, we have to get them here. At the moment, we have about $1,000 in donations, and are hoping to raise another $1500 more.

So...to all you pit lovers and animal activists and folks who are just plain happy to see these wonderful rescues finally get their day in the sun....if you could spare even $10, it would help us get Hoghead and Piglet to their final destination.

There are two ways to donate:

1. Dickson County Animal Shelter's 501(c)3 Katrina Animals fund--This is where Hoggy and Piggy are currently residing. The Shelter has a special fund just for the Katrina animals, which will be used for H&P's transport and transfer to the Dog Whisperer.

2. You can still donate on this site (link is marked "DONATE" on the left side of page). All donations should be marked "Hoghead and Piglet"...and all donations received will go DIRECTLY to H&P's transfer and transport. (I promise!)

Please help. Again, even if you are tight for cash (oh, how I know this feeling!), even $10 will help. We are appreciative of all who have donated thus far, and are grateful to all who can contribute to our final send-off of animals.

This is a reason to celebrate! Stay tuned. I'll post pix as soon as Hoghead arrives! (he's expected to come ASAP!)
