Bobbie and the Strays needs our help!

Well folks it time to “Band together” to lend a hand.

As all will attest all the shelters need help but Bobbie and the Strays have a clock ticking and TIME will run out sooner than you know. I'm sure a donation in ANY amount earmarked for the building fund would be greatly appreciated. All any of us has to do is give up ONE Latte, pack of cigarettes (for smokers), candy bar, bottle/can of soda, etc, etc. Times are tough but there tough for all and none more so than for Bobbie and the Strays at this moment. Don't let the animals be added to the homeless.


Copied from hymcheng’s journal.

So, my challenge to you is this: donate a small sum of money, whatever you want and can spare (even $1 would be great), to the building fund for Bobbi & the Strays. Then, create a journal entry--you can even cut & paste this one--of your own, so that everyone on your friends' list will become aware of Bobbi's plight. Ask your friends to do the same, donate and create a journal entry for THEIR friends. Who knows? Maybe Bobbi will get that $1,000,000 after all from the ZooToo community.

Here's the information I found from Bobbi & the Strays website. You can send your donations to:

Bobbi and the Strays
P.O. Box 170129
Ozone Park, N.Y. 11417
tel: 718-845-0779 (call this number for more info).

Make cheques payable to Bobbi & the Strays. Specify that your donation is going towards the building fund.

For more information, consult their website at www.petfinder.com


ARE YOU UP TO HER CHALLENGE!!

C'mon folks - Bobbi and the Strays really needs help. Thanks to all those that have helped thus far. If anyone else can find it in their heart to give - no matter how little - it really will make a difference. I thank you and the dogs waiting for adoption at the JFK vetport thank you.
We've all said even a dollar will go along way if everyone who could afford it gave just a dollar.

Wow - everyone is so generous. Thank you zootooers. Bobbi and the Strays really does need help to get a new shelter - and time is running out.
Remember - Bobbi and the Strays is a 100% no kill, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Contributions are tax-deductible as allowed by law and are greatly appreciated – and very much needed!

You can even donate on-line with credit card or bank account at www.BobbiAndTheStrays.org

Remember – every little dollar can add up to Bobbi and the Strays new “forever home”. : - )

Brenda, I sent you a msg. earlier today to let you know that I mailed a check to Bobbi & the Strays, but can't find it anywhere, so here goes again...
Thank you so much for your generosity Vicki! It is most greatly appreciated. : - )
Exactlly! Every little bit helps.
Absolutley. Every little bit helps. Thanks so much Patty. I just can not believe what has been started here. I really hope it helps - actually - I know that it will.
The more journals out there the more people will become aware, I hope. I'm still trying to think of other titles for other categories, you never know where people will look.
Patty, I mailed out a check just today for Bobbi & the Strays. I hope everyone pitches in.
We can only hope. Keep you fingers and paws crossed. All the shelters need help but these animals are facing homelessness.

Let's do some brainstorming and see if there are other ways to raise more money. Maybe we can convince our shelters, or neighbourhood grocery / pet stores, to put a canister at their front desk soliciting donations for the "Save Bobbi & the Strays from homelessness" funds. Or convince Purina to match our donations (raised through ZooToo) with food, so that Bobbi can use more of their resources towards the purchase of a new building. It would be nice to have a feature news story on ZooToo about this as well. Other ideas???
HHMM, gotta put my thinking cap on!
Yes, there must be some way for more people to see that Bobbi & the Strays need help. I'll put my thinking cap on, as well.
We need to think of differnt ways to raise money that will get attention.
Thank you for spreading the word and helping us in our mission to find a new home before it's too late.

You're so right. Giving up just one cup of coffee and donating that amount to the building fund could make all the difference in the world.

Thank you for your support!
Always have said every little bit helps! You're quite welcome and hope this helps tremendously! Every one is trying to spread the word!
