Before Auld Lange Syne fills the air, donate to the Friends now! Remember, it’s your last chance to make that totally tax-deductible gift.

Other reasons why we need your gift now:

     December is the month most of our dogs and cats find forever homes.

     177 unique snowflake animals went home in December 2007; we expect even more in 2008

     A $50 gift will ensure each one has a microchip so she is never lost again

Give a New Year gift of hope in honor of your Mom or Dad, favorite family member, or special friend, and we will send a very special note to them directly from Cyder (shown at left and still looking for a home), our Snowflake Poster Girl!
