Crate auction to benefit Taiwan rescuers

Our Project Taiwan: Bring Them Home! continues as Rita and MJ search for volunteer passengers to bring Lily, Hannah, Beauty and Leo to us. Maggie Chen of Animal Rescue Team Taiwan is also looking for passengers, and has a lovely male to send us when they have the funds available. None of the Taiwan rescuers has ever asked us for a penny of support, and have been doing this all their own. I know our Welcome Waggin’ volunteers were very impressed by the care Rita and MJ took to make sure our dogs traveled comfortably on their trip (sturdy crates, water bottles, traction flooring and absorbent material to keep them dry, just in case). These ladies have done an amazing job and have much more work to do.In an effort to help Rita and MJ offset future costs so we can guarantee all the Taiwan Goldens who need help can get it, we’re offering the crates previously ridden in by Ben and Lulu, two of our first three imports, for auction on Ebay this week. The auction has already begun, with the goods going to the highest bidder (for local delivery only). These crates are excellent quality, and only used once! More importantly, they represent the loving hearts of Golden rescuers who joined hands across the ocean to help these beautiful creatures find a life in the US. All the proceeds of the Taiwan Dog Crates auction will be forwarded back to Rita and MJ, to assist them in financing future rescues and getting them safely back to us.If you’d like to check out and/or bid on the auctions, click here!
Crate dimensions: 24"w x 26"h x 34"l
If you’d care to make a small contribution directly to Rita and MJ to help them pave the way for Hannah, Lily, Beauty, Leo and others to come here, Rita has set up a Paypal account with her email: abce12366@hotmail.com. Although not tax-deductible, a couple of dollars here and there will help speed the Taiwan dogs to the US.
