Fundraiser for Rescue Berner, Tobin,
On behalf of BEHAF http://www.behaf.org/ and BMDCNV Rescue http://www.bmdcnv.org For the Results of this Fundraiser <click here> This is a very quick fundraiser for BEHAF, which has helped many people in need. They have a fund for regional rescue, which has come to the aid of a very special couple who took in a dog that was given up by his original family. Within weeks of placement, he was in intensive care to help get his seizures under control. And now theyve been told that he has cataracts, and will go blind without surgery. His family are people with big hearts, but a bank account much like the rest of us. Since the boy was not currently in rescue, he didnt qualify for rescue funds. And if he had been in rescue, its doubtful that rescue would have had the resources to help even so. We are putting up these items to help the family with some of the unexpected expenses that they experienced with their generosity in opening their hearts and homes to a Berner in need. Some of the money will go to replacing what BEHAF donated, and any extra will also go to BEHAF to help with the next regional club rescue in need. Anya Wittenborg, the rescue chair of Nashoba Valley (whose heart is often bigger than her brains) also donated her private money to help with this boy, and were hoping that well be able to pay her back for that generosity too. She donates quite enough to regional rescue that we dont need to see her run up her own private credit card as well! Were trying to limit the items to a manageable five items, and weve tried to make them just as tempting as possible. So for those of you who can help in this unusual situation, we do appreciate it. We dont plan to make a habit of it, we all adopt Berners knowing that we may have some extraordinary expenses. But none of us could have anticipated that a placement like this would rack up so many thousands of dollars so soon after placement. For Tobin's pictures and his very special story <click here>
