Please Read All Messages to the End of This E-Mail. Thank You! Cross Posted From Carol Wooten-Enright: In the face of advancing flames, and under urgent evacuation orders,people reach instinctively for their beloved pets, but in the rush to leave, often forget to take the food and other provisions necessary for their care. In order to help fill this need, Dennis Sprung, President of the American Kennel Club, has coordinated with Susan Sholar, President of the California Federation of Dog Clubs, to send an immediate donation of food, collars and leashes, and crates to help those dog owners affected by the devastating fires in southern California. CFODC members, and anyone else needing assistance in providing for their pets' security and well-being as a result of these fires, should call the California School of Dog Grooming at 1-800-949-3746, and ask for Susan. The school, located in San Diego, is the designated site for distribution of the donated supplies, as well as a growing list of volunteers with offers to foster care, or with available kennels, dog runs, RV parking spaces, spare bedrooms, sofa beds, and the like. The AKC and CFODC, in order to maximize their opportunity to help, ask that you cross post this message wherever possible. Thank you. Board of Directors California Federation of Dog Clubs ----------------------------- Posting From Dawn: I just got off the phone with Susan Sholar, President of the California Federation of Dog Clubs. For those of us who live too far to send off supplies, they are receiving monetary donations and will get the necessary supplies to those animals in need. They will be setting up a sight on the internet to use PayPal, at which time I will send out the information for those of you wishing to do so online. You can also mail your monetary donation to: California Federation of Dog Clubs Fire Fund 655 South Rancho Santa Fe San Marcos, CA 92078 If there is any way you can offer assistance to those in need - please consider doing so. Thank you, and God bless. Dawn Buhlman The Matthew Foundation Tooele, Utah [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
