It’s me, Marty, and it’s that time of the year again! Last year, in my first year participating in ARF’s Paws On Parade, I raised over $300 for the wonderful organization that saved my life. This year I am going to set my sights much higher and even in these turbulent economic times, I know I can reach my goal of raising $750. Because this year my new sister Anna the Cattle dog, who was also adopted from ARF, will help me herd in even more bucks. Making a donation to ARF will not only help save the lives of thousands of dogs and cats. It will also support ARF’s people programs such as my monthly visits to Shield-Reid nursing home as a member of the Pet Hug Pack.

And guess what! Our mom’s birthday just happens to be this week! So if you haven’t found that perfect gift or just don’t want to buy her another PetSmart gift card – you can get the gift that will mean so much to her, to us and to so many animals in need.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
