SPONSOR A BAG - FEED A DOG!
EXCITING OFFER FROM TIMBERWOLF ORGANICS!


We received incredible news today! Timberwolf Organics has generously offered to donate one to two PALLETS of its wonderful top grade dog food to the Maine branch of Dogs Deserve Better.

One pallet of food contains 60, 33-LB bags of dog food - enough to feed our dogs for approximately 6 months. Two pallets would be enough to keep our dogs healthy and happy for ONE YEAR!

There is one catch - which is why we need your help...In order to collect on this generous offer, we must pay for the shipping from the Timberwolf Organics warehouse in Kansas to Maine.

Estimated shipping costs for one pallet of dog food is $700 - which sounds expensive, but actually works out to cost a little more than $10.00 per bag. Considering a single bag of this dog food costs $65.00 retail...this is an incredible opportunity for our rescue.

We would LOVE to take Timberwolf Organics up on its offer of TWO pallets, but we are not sure we can raise enough funds to cover the shipping...Estimated shipping for two pallets is $1000.

Please consider sponsoring the shipping on one bag of dog food ($10.00).

If we can find 70 people to sponsor one bag of food - that will cover the shipping costs for one pallet of dog food! If 100 people sponsor a bag...We can feed our rescue dogs for ONE YEAR!

In this economy - we really need your help. It is becoming harder every day for us to continue, and the numbers of dogs that need our help are increasing for the same reasons.

Our pups thank you for caring!

KAIDAN'S BIRTHDAY PARTY



Kaidan just celebrated his third birthday. Why is that an exciting event for us? Because we were told by vet after to vet to euthanize Kaidan. "It is cruel to keep him alive." "He won't live more than a few months." "He cannot possibly have any kind quality life." were just a few of the comments.

Kaidan came to Dogs Deserve Better Headquarters in PA almost three years ago as a puppy. He was rescued from a pen where he lived outside 24/7. The problem with Kaidan is that he appeared to have been born without hip sockets - or suffered from Ricketts or some sort of degenerative disease which eroded his hip sockets - nobody really knew which.

We went back and forth on what to do with this pup - he did not appear to be in any pain - but maybe he could not lead a good life... in the process of our decision making, we fell in love.

Kaidan just has the sweetest personality and love of life. It became impossible to consider not giving him a chance.

Along came Ann Hay - who refuses to listen to vets and is a big believer in the power of nutrition and love. She adopted sweet Kaidan - and later went on to adopt several more special needs dogs! Kaidan is living on a farm and enjoying his life to the maximum. He goes everywhere with his family. He has exceded all of our expectations.

Every year on Kaidan's birthday we receive an email from Ann with pictures and an update. Below you can see this year's celebration email and pictures:

Here are some pictures of Kaidan at his 3rd birthday party. He got a new wagon, which he needed since he chewed the wooden sides off his previous one. His birthday cake was banana with peanut butter carob frosting, which he really seemed to like!

Thank you Ann for being Kaidan's rescue angel. You give us hope that there is home for every dog! Kaidan - you are an inspiration - and a very lucky boy!
