DOGS DESERVE BETTER INC

Chain Off 2009

Tamira Thayne's Chain Off 09 Fundraising Page

Come fly with Me and Banshee!

We really like each other, and we like you too! It didn't always used to be that way, if you read Scream Like Banshee, you'd know that in the beginning Banshee rubbed Mommy the wrong way with his pushiness...but over time, she fell more and more in love with the big lug, until today it's a mutual love affair.

Look at that face...who can resist? Banshee, a purebred black lab, spent the first six years of his life at the end of a chain before Mom rescued him. He's still up for adoption, but he needs a special home...one with someone who can deal with a little separation anxiety, can make sure he has access to a bathroom, and will take him swimming and play ball with him, his two favorite things to do other than just be with you.

In return, you'll be loved like you've never been loved before. Look how happy he makes Tami!

Banshee is just one of the 100 dogs fostered by Tami since she founded DDB in 2002. Help her make this Chain Off her best one ever, by contributing to her personal fundraising goal of $4000! It's a huge goal, but you can help her make it come true and reward her for 7 years of hard work...blood, sweat, and tears ...for the chained dogs of America!

Tami has chained herself to a doghouse for at least 24 hours during Chain Off for the past 5 years, and this year proves to be no exception. Please consider sponsoring her as she chains herself in South Carolina for 24 hours in order to stand in the place of and raise awareness for this country's chained dogs.

Your support is so appreciated.

Update: DDB is in the midst of our Dog a Day Summer Challenge, during which I pledged to rescue and foster two female chained and penned dogs. The very next day I rescued two female chained and penned dogs! It was amazing...watch the video of the rescue to the left.
