Oh, I like this a lot. I can think of a few places I'd like to see one of these valentines cards go. And I can think of all sorts of reasons for not chaining a dog.
How about you? Is there a dog in your neighborhood that you see every day? Every week? Chained outside without hope of moving more than three or four feet at a time? Do you ever wonder why the people inside that house have a dog at all? Are you worried about confronting these people?
Why not have children do it for you. From the Dogs Deserve Better Website (because they say it better than I ever could):Dogs Deserve Better Valentines 2006: No Chained Dogs!: Join us February 7-14th for Have a Heart for Chained Dogs Week. OUR GOAL in our 4th Season is to SEND OUT 4500 VALENTINES TO CHAINED or PENNED DOGS. We are striving to raise awareness for chained and penned dogs in a positive way...by delivering Valentines, a brochure and a treat coupon to dogs living outside all over the U.S. and into other countries where we have representation, such as Canada and Australia. Here's what we need: 1. Make Valentines. Teachers, Students, Scout Leaders, Group Leaders, Individuals please make Valentines! To see what others have done, see the link above. The valentines can say anything along the lines of 'Bring us into the home and family.' Send them in by February 7th to P.O. Box 23, Tipton, PA 16684. 2. Mail Coupons for Free Treats. In past years we’ve mailed treats to the dogs, but have been accused of trying to poison them...last thing we need! So this year we’d like to get a ton of coupons for free or low cost treats to mail to the dogs...if you have any, please mail them to us. 3. Send addresses for Chained or PennedDogs. This is so needed! To make our goal, we need to mail at least 4500 Valentines. Send address via mail, call 877.636.1408 to report addresses, or e-mail them to info@dogsdeservebetter.org. You remain anonymous! 4. Sponsor Valentines. The cost of this campaign is quite high, due to material and mailing fees, but it is well-worth it! You may either sponsor Valentines for addresses you provide, or sponsor Valentines for others who provide us with addresses. In 2005 we delivered over 3000 Valentines to chained or penned dogs.Okay. Off with the message and on with the action. ℅ Dogs Deserve Better
