Help a Dog?

[TANGOMAN]

I just received an e-mail from my sister-in-law and it has compelled me to reach out for help.
This concerns a dog. A five year old Border Collie. An athletic pooch who needs surgery to deal with "Hip Dysplasia". His days in "Fly-Ball" are sadly over now but the chronic pain requires surgery to simply improve his qualty of life.
My sister-in-law requested bottles to assist her in raising money to help her little buddy get the surgery. She works two jobs and cares for her dog like a child. She just doesn't have enough money to get things done.

I hope this post doesn't get "nuked" because of its nature but I want to help out someone in desperate need.

Many of you know I operate a part-time business leasing and maintaining aquariums around the city. I propose to MATCH EVERY DOLLAR donated with earnings from my maintenance business. Just think, if 100 people honor a $1.00 donation, I'll present the vet. with $200.00. If 1000 people do this then I'm workin' for nothin' and the Humane Society will get a $700.00 donation on behalf of CanReef members. The cost of surgery is $1300.00. I'm putting $100.00 in the jar to help her out.

I know that this hobby utilizes all of our spare change, but I also know folks who keep Marine aquariums are responsible and passionate pet owners, so please, help me help a friend!
I am set up on PayPal. chinookaquatics@shaw.ca

Thanking you in advance,

I should have about $100+ worth (Bottles cans ETC) you can have, if the roomie says its OK. you would have to pick up thou. I will ask when he gets home.

I'd gladly travel to pick-up bottles. (Even empty ones...LOL)

Thanks!

I have many beer cans...many.... you may pick up.

I also have a few cans, and I'm sure I can find a bit of cash to donate to a very good cause.

I betcha I could throw together a couple of big, orange garbage bags full of beer cans, as well. Let me know when you would like to pick up and I shall get them ready for you.

If I know the big-hearted people on this board, you may have to plan an entire day to pick up bottles!

apparently I wasn't sensitive enough.. so I'll nuke it.

Hi all, I'm TENTATIVELY planning to do the "bottle drive" on the weekend of March 29th & 30th. If any offerings can be confirmed, that'd be fantastic! Thank you to all who have offered and a very special thank you S.L. (asked to remain anonymous), for your very generous contribution!

Regards,

I'd love to donate a few garbage bags of pop cans. I live in the southeast, and next weekend works fine for me. I can probably set aside 2-3 garbage bags full.

You can have whatever bottles I have amassed by then. I am in the SW.
