Love That Pound Puppy Quilt Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network
We've uploaded a new video to our My Dog Space today, so check it out! http://www.mydogspace.com/video/detail/693
In June 2007, Silver Linings Originals http://www.silverliningsoriginals.com/ decided to create a quilt to help a dog rescue group raise funds to care for their rescue dogs. Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network (CPCRN) entered and was honored to receive this quilt for our fundraising purposes. "Love That Pound Puppy Quilt" has been independently appraised and valued at $4,500.00 - this is a tremendous gift to us.
CPCRN dogs come from many places - some are direct owner or breeder surrenders to us, some come from Puppymill auctions, but many come from shelters all over the country.
CPCRN Volunteers search Petfinder listings and contact their local shelters to try to find cairns and cairn mixes in need of assistance. We provide support to the shelters for the harder to adopt out cairns which may be in need of behavioral assistance or medical care. We do not refuse a cairn simply because they are old - in fact, the oldest cairn we have taken in so far was 17 years old. By accepting these dogs into our program we can save them from being euthanized while also opening up space at that shelter for other dogs to have a chance at life. Many of our volunteers have decades of experience with cairns and are used to their wily ways.
When working dog rescue, you are constantly hunting for funds to help care for the dogs in your care, and to allow you to help more. This quilt came to us like a bolt from the blue, and we can never express our gratitude to Linda and all who helped her construct it. It is stunningly gorgeous and as the first recipient of one of her Pound Puppy Quilts, we can only hope we can do it justice. We have a 'goal' of having 2000 squares pledged but would be ecstatic if more came in. Be sure to order before April 18.
