This month we are having a January jumper giveaway where after every 4 StokerHound items are ordered mummy will make a jumper to be donated to a rescue. (see the first blog entry for more details)
The big question was...... which rescue???
Well, last night mummy was doing a lot of umming & arring and drinking tea (no biscuits though which I was most miffed about as she alwasy shares biscuits with me!) and then she said 'I'll sleep on it' and off to bed we went.....
Well I didn't see her sleep on anything other than the bed she normally sleeps on so not sure what that statement was all about.... but, she has decided which rescue she'd like to donate the jumpers to.
All rescues suggested on our Facebook page we equally deserving, however this one has been chosen as they are very new and are working hard on building a strong following and fundraising base.
StokerHounds chosen rescue for January is - Sighthound Stopgap

"Raising funds to help bring Greyhounds & Lurchers to safety whilst they wait for a rehoming space.
We don't rehome! - We're just a 'Stopgap' solution.
Sighthound Stopgap' was created to help save some of the many Greyhounds and Lurchers that are being let down every day.
Despite there being more than fifty recognised Sighthound rehoming organisations across the country, a number of dogs are still falling through the gaps and end up being advertised as 'Free to a Good Home' or, worse still, euthanised without ever being given the chance of the home they so deserve.
We therefore decided to set up a 'Stopgap' fund, to enable us to bring hounds to a place of safety whilst they wait for a space with one of the rehoming kennels. - But we need YOUR help!
Please follow this page to learn more about what we are trying to achieve and how you can help us save lives."
I'm sure they would appreciate everyone visiting their FB and liking it too ;-)
