FROM THE DOG HOUSE OF..... ELVIS!
CAN WE TALK???????
Hi, my name is Elvis, originally from Arizona, and I ain't
nothin' but a Hound Dog! After suffering a broken
pelvis in a car accident, I'm now living at B&B all patched up and waiting for a loving home.
I've heard on the kibblevine that you're an animal lover so I'm pawing out this note to ask
you a special favor. We need YOUR help! You see, all the money they take in here at
B&B goes to help me and all of my dog pals....and there are over 100 of us! Beagles &
Buddies is a no-kill, nonprofit sanctuary and they need what you humans call money, that
beautiful green stuff -- it's really expensive to give us the care we need so we can get
homes - and they adopt over 1,000 of my furry friends every year - that's alot!
Take my good buddy, Flight, a Big Hunk of Love. She needed a costly leg operation and
they paid over $2,000 to make sure she was OK. And, guess what, she got a wonderful
home with a swimming pool for therapy. B&B made sure of that! We have lots of tail
wagging stories like that. There's my mini-doxie buddy, Tiny, who's become a therapy
dog for special children...and that cutie shepherd, Gina, my Kissin Cousin, who is going to
be trained for search and rescue...and how 'bout Mulan, oh so cute and cuddly, now
visiting the elderly at senior homes. But mostly we're just great dogs waiting for someone
to give us a break and a bone - our very own family.
All the donations that B&B gets are spent on us - spay and neutering, our shots (owww!),
food, gosh we even get our teeth cleaned! But our digs are getting a little shabby! We
bought the place across the street, it's called Red Cloud Ranch, so we can save even
MORE dogs and it desperately needs repairs so we can stay cool in summer, warm in
winter, healthy and safe always! Most of us live on the "older" B&B side, and in spite of
all the work our folks have done here in the past eight people years, it really takes a
beating from more than l00 of us every day.
Most dogs don't understand all these human words, there's not a "woof" anywhere. But
we do understand treats; love and kisses; a clean, warm bed; treats; good kibble - and,
did I say, treats?? I could bark on and on...but you get the picture, right? So Don't be
Cruel, look into my wonderful brown eyes and help old Elvis and his pals out. Won't
you send the nice people at Beagles & Buddies a generous tax-deductible contribution
(Federal I.D.# 33-0648757) and be our Good Luck Charm? And could you do it NOW?
And if you're Lonesome Tonight, I'm available and would love to be your Teddy Bear!
The more of us that get adopted from B&B, the more furry friends they can rescue at
those shelters we call Heartbreak Hotels! Just remember...we do it for the dogs!
