I mentioned the program that PAR was participating in to a very good friend in Illinois (who is definitely an animal lover and friend of rescues) and she told me that she and her husband had just adopted a rescue puppy…this is what she wrote: It just so happens that we adopted an 8 week old rescue puppy a couple of days ago and we now have to house-break him in what seems to be one of the coldest Decembers I can remember. The trade-off is that we hired a company to plow the snow from the driveway this year, so we’ll spend less time exposed to the cold. Here is a photo of the new puppy “Cooper” and our Yorkie “Winchester” – these are our only children.

We truly love our ‘rescue’ parents!!!
This information is from my caring friend, Susan Catton, who definitely cares about all animals!
Greetings to All,
Please read the information below & consider signing up. I didn’t realize how easy it is to make a donation to PAR (Pickens Animal Rescus) just based on my on-line purchasing. From my recent purchases alone, $27.23 was donated to PAR!
If you don’t especially like being connected to too many sites on the net, then maybe consider making a Christmas donation to help PAR help animals. It’s cold outside & the homeless animals need our help too. It’s a great gift idea for those on your list that are “hard to buy for”… that means they probably don’t need a thing & you would warm their hearts by donating in their name
Go to www.pickensanimalrescue.org & make a CC donation today.
Thanks & blessings to you & yours this holiday season.

Hi Susan,
We’re celebrating, and we’re inviting you to help Pickens Animal Rescue, Inc celebrate with us.
What we’re celebrating:
1) Our search is now powered by Microsoft Bing;
2) Members just like you have raised over $5,000,000 for their causes via iGive; and
3) Another tough year is behind us.
Causes like Pickens Animal Rescue, Inc need all the money they can raise, so here’s a free and easy way to help. It’s our way of celebrating.
iGive.com is going to donate $5,000 in just 27 hours to Pickens Animal Rescue, Inc and other causes.
For each person who joins iGive using the special link below and does just one qualified web search on our site between 9 a.m. CST, Thursday, Dec. 9, 2010 and noon CST, Friday, Dec. 10, 2010, we’ll give Pickens Animal Rescue, Inc a dollar.
5,000 new members, $5,000 donated. No purchase necessary.
Of course, if they search more (or buy something) they’ll earn even more money for Pickens Animal Rescue, Inc. Right now, we’re donating $.02 per search and a bonus $5 for a new member’s first purchase plus the usual percentage of the purchase.
Here’s where you come in. The only way Pickens Animal Rescue, Inc will get new supporters and that free $1 (or more) is if you invite them. Send your friends, family, and colleagues the following link in an e-mail, tweet it, do a Facebook posting, put up posters, shout from mountain tops (you know the drill) and let the world know you think Pickens Animal Rescue, Inc is pretty cool and deserves their support, especially since it’s free! You can even just forward this e-mail.
This is the link: http://www.igive.com/welcome/warm_reg_promo.cfm?m=499125
We’re really proud of our improved search capability, powered by Bing! We want lots of people to try it out. If they keep on searching or
shopping after checking us out, so much the better for Pickens Animal Rescue, Inc and iGive.com.
The details:
- Offer active between 9 a.m. CST 12/9/10 and 11:59 a.m. CST 12/10/10.
- New members only (never have been an iGive member previously). All the normal rules of membership, searching, and purchasing apply, our site has the details. Real people only, who sign themselves up. (It’s not fair to hire a room full of elves who sign people up, the new member has to sign him or herself up.)
- Once we’ve given away $5,000, the offer ends. That’s $5,000 to all causes, not just yours, so it’s a bit of a race.
- A web search is a search from the WEB tab on our site. Qualified searches are explained on our site, but basically means NOT a search for a store or a site name. We want people to really experience a true web search.
That’s it. Don’t forget to try our search yourself (http://isearch.igive.com). You may need to login first.
From our families to yours, we hope you have a great holiday season.
Yours,
Robert N. Grosshandler
Founder
