The Saving Shelter Pets, Inc., spring auction is underway. One of the items is a delicious medley of products from Tastefully Simple, called the Simple Traditions. You will receive: Bountiful Beer Bread Mix®, Dried Tomato & Garlic Pesto Mix, Nana’s Apple Cake Mix®, Perfectly Potato Cheddar Soup Mix, and the Spinach & Herb Dip Mix.
You can feel extra bounteous eating your Beer Bread because the online auction will generates funds for the SSP Puppy Promises Program. According to HoundsGood.com:
The puppies are intercepted from being dumped at the shelter, sometimes even at the shelter door! Their owners are given another option. If they will quarantine the pups at home for another two weeks, SSP will give them their shots on the spot. In two or three weeks, pending they are deemed healthy by a vet, they will be transported to a reputable rescue where a family is waiting to adopt them. As for “mom dog,” she gets spayed after the pups are well on their way so that there are no more accidental litters. What’s more, is that all the other adult dogs and cats at the house are spayed or neutered by SSP as well. It was noticed that the same last names and addresses would come up, and is more proactive to spay everyone than hope there will not be another litter.
Some of these families take good care of their pets, but just cannot financially handle a litter of puppies or are not allowed to have so many. However, many of the pups are born to dogs living outside, or even on chains. Mom was a sitting duck for any dog that wandered in. And if a pup wandered away, mom was restricted by the chain to go retrieve them from danger. Some puppies could die and have from drowning in puddles or from cold or illness. SSP needs to get these pups out of their situations, and have often helped mom dogs too if their family cannot care for them.
The auction runs through May 18th.
The Tastefully Simple auction can be found HERE. Value is $43.00, and currently, you need to just bid $16.00 to be currently victorious. That is less than HALF of what you would pay to purchase it. Of course, it is for a great cause and complete worth bidding up to the retail price and beyond. There are other great items like dog collars, diamonds (a girl’s best friend) and more. So go ahead and bid…right now!
