Catching Up with CorgiPals

First, I’d like to introduce our newest Helping Paws client this week. Meet Beanie! Corgi Mom Jillian wrote to me for help for her sweet Corgi girl Beanie after losing her other Corgi just a few weeks before due to an unknown illness. Suddenly Beanie started having seizures and Jillian (rightfully so) became very worried. You can read her full story and learn how you can help on Beanie’s fundraising page.

Next, I’d like to give you an update on our Food Bag Awareness Fundraiser. The post I made on our Facebook page to announce the fundraiser had nearly 41,000 views and shares! So far we have raised $1,405 in memory of Pi and Chibi, and everyone is encouraged to share this fundraiser with friends and family to raise awareness. RIP sweet Pi and Chibi. Your deaths will not be in vain. THANK YOU to all the folks who have shared and donated. I’ve gotten several emails from folks who had no idea that bags were a danger to their pets. That’s the name of the game, you guys! Now they know. Think of the lives you could be saving just by educating people and making them aware. It’s a pretty astounding statistic and I’m proud to be a part of this movement. You all should be proud, too! You’re making a difference!

And now an announcement for my fellow fans of Jasper Islington. Jasper and his Mum and Da have designed an all-Jasper all-the-time calendar featuring some of his best photos and, of course, haikus. I’m very proud to say that Jasper and his family have decided to donate 100% of the proceeds from the calendars to CorgiPals!! Ain’t he cute?
