GVH Holiday Season Fundraiser for The Old Dog House
The Old Dog House is a 501(c)3 sanctuary and hospice organization for older dogs that have medical needs. Currently they have about 30 dogs to care for and little support. Located up near Cripple Creek, CO, the immediate need they have is for a tractor to help maintain access to their facility. From Nov 1-Dec 31, 2011 GoldenView Veterinary Hospital is accepting monetary donations in any amount to go directly to this "Tractor Fund". Our goal this holiday season is to raise $3000. For more information about the hospice work being done for these senior dogs, go to www.olddoghouse.org. |
