So Cool! of them to do....
I am "sponsoring" a K9 unit that has been deployed to the gulf. There are 6 dogs in a unit, and as you can imagine, trying to find acceptable care package stuff for 6 dogs gets expensive. I decided to send out some emails to some pet supply websites asking for donations of anything they could help with. I've had a few places offer to send me things "in a few weeks" which is awesome, but last night I got an email from someone at www.arknaturals.com asking me to call so we could put together a package. I am not a "phone person" but my K9 Unit is worth it, so I called today. OMG! I am overwhelmed at this company's generosity! They are sending me natural flea repellent, natural dog treats, ear wash, and eye wash! Enough for 6 dogs, at least! WAY more than I could have afforded to go out and buy for them at once. I am so excited and so touched! I just wanted to share my good news!

You have pm.
Also, have you considered checking with Petco, PetSmart or any of the very large chain pet supply stores? Maybe even your local WalMart or vet would contribute some things.Pacifist: Someone who has the nutty idea that killing people is a bad thing.

I'm working on the local Petsmart and Petco, and have letters ready to mail as soon as I get some stamps, to the local pet supply stores and even some of the vets who sell supplies. To ask for a donation from a large corporation, I need to have it typed out on letterhead, which I will have shortly. Thanks for the advice. I'm really having fun with this and am completely overwhelmed by everyone's generosity.

Amen to your sig line, by the way. Call your vets and ask for donations too, they sell stuff and get tons of samples too.

Operation Military Pride has a "Kindness to K9s" program in which you can send care packages to the K9's (and their handlers) who are serving in the military. You can even sponsor an entire K9 Unit, just send an email to Operation Military Pride for details.Pacifist: Someone who has the nutty idea that killing people is a bad thing.

GRRRR. Email issues. Can't write you back at the moment.
FORTY DOLLARS for ONE pair of dog boots? GOOD grief! IF I can snag some from our local Petco/PetSmart, I'll send them to you for sure.Pacifist: Someone who has the nutty idea that killing people is a bad thing.
