  Senior HoundsAbound, is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to the rescue and lifelong care of senior Bassets and Beagles abandoned by their families or left in shelters.

The Animal Rescue Site $100,000 Shelter Challenge - brought to you by Petfinder is awarding $100,000 in grants to eligible Petfinder member rescue organizations. The grand prize is a $25,000 grant. Just imagine how many animals we could help for $25,000! This money could go a VERY long way for the hounds & no one in our rescue takes any part of a salary, volunteers only. 100% goes to helping the hounds!!

We had a terrific turnout at the Buffalo Pet Expo on October 11th, 2008.  The official attendence was announced at 879.  The expectation was  500 – 600 and so we over achieved the projection.

We interacted with many pet owners and had over 50 entries into the contest for creating a  name for our newest product at The Gourmet Dog Bakery.  The winning name was “Cluster Pup” and we will be offering them on our website this coming week.  The winning creator was  Maria Sandstrom but we have been unable to locate her from the entry form.  We are asking anyone that knows Maria, to have her call 866-83-TREAT with her contact information.  We would love to ship her the “treat jar filled with low-glycemic dog treats” this week.

If you haven’t been on our website lately, we have 3 new low-fat dog treats: Pincher Strips (turkey jerky), Blooming Sticks (natural rawhide chew sticks dipped in yogurt and carob), and Cluster Pups (peanut yogurt cups).

We have a new sample pack that we will mail out and even pay the postage, just to let our clientele try before buying.  We feel so strongly that our products are low-fat, low-glycemic and good for dogs, that we are offering this free sample pack at no charge to you.  Order yours TODAY!

I came across an offer from Frontline that I had to pass along to my blog readers. Frontline is one of the most recommended flea and tick control products  by vets across the USA and is know to be one of the best by dog owners.  They are offering a  20% off and FREE shipping if you order in October 2008.  Now that’s a good deal for saving some of your hard-earned money!

So if you are a Frontline user or just want to try it, I  would encourage you to take advantage of this offer.  More information can be obtained about this offer at: frontlinespecialoffer.com.

We are excited to be attending the Buffalo Pet Expo in MN on October 11^th, 2008.  There will be many rescue groups attending and so we feel fortunate to be allowed to exhibit our product line in such good company.  

We will be selling our newest product, “Blooming Sticks” which are 2 treats in one. If you are in the area, please stop by and say hello. 

Hopefully the weather will be good for the estimated 500 to 600 attendees.
