My personal message:
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page
for Chain Off 2008: Unchain Our World!

This is my 5th year chaining myself to a doghouse for at least 24 hours...something I will always be proud of! I encourage you to try it too, take the stand...if you ever wanted to really experience what these poor dogs feel like living like this, there is no better way. You will forever after be an advocate for chained dogs!

I will spend 24 hours chained to a doghouse with other chained dog advocates at our Chicago Event, see the website at http://www.UnchainOurWorld.org for more info or to join me there. Please sponsor me by the hour or for the whole time, whatever spare change you can dig up, send it my way!

With your help I can make it my best year in terms of fundraising for our work for chained and penned dogs! Last year I raised over $500 for DDB's cause of unchaining dogs and bringing them into the home and family. This year I've upped my goal to $3000.

Yes, $3000! And I know we can do it. Can't afford much? No problem...every $10 adds up, so don't feel bad about the amount you can or can't give!

Here are some accomplishments I've made this year that are helping chained dogs nationwide:

Personally rescued and fostered approximately 20 dogs. Initiated campaigns through DDB which are instrumental in vetting and adopting into new, inside homes and families 100s of dogs per year.

Began plans and fundraising for a DDB Rehab and Training Center that will house and train to live with the family up to 26 dogs at a time.

Initiated a 12 State Tour where we logged 1051 dogs living chained, spoke to over 240 caretakers, and left information for at least 240 more. Uploaded videos daily of our escapades, and made it back home alive! http://www.dogsdeservebetter.org/dognamictour.html

Survived a trial by jury in Blair County, PA for rescuing and helping a dying dog (and believe me, just surviving it was indeed a huge feat!). To read more, go to http://www.dogsdeservebetter.org/doogie.html

So sponsor me, please! Help me raise $3000 and more for the nation's chained dogs...I appreciate you.
