The rescue I am with, Low Rider Dachshund Rescue of Florida, has taken in two two little senior dogs with BIG tumors that need to be removed. One little dog can barely walk. To fund the surgeries the rescue is raffling off a lovely, one-of-a-kind quilt by a wonderful lady who supports rescue. (See photos of dogs and quilt below. Also, info. on the poor little dogs is listed below).

WHO: Low Rider Dachshund Rescue of Florida, a 501c3 nonprofit rescue
WHAT: Online Quilt Raffle - measures 44" x 66". Well-made by an avid dachshund loving rescuer. This one-of-a-kind quilt is unique in that one side is a soft, silky mink fabric.
WHERE: Online (Chances can be purchased online. The quilt will be mailed to the winner.)
WHEN: Now thru Jan. 27th (Winner will be drawn live on the rescue's Facebook page on Jan. 28th at Low Rider Dachshund Rescue of Florida.)
HOW MUCH: $5 for single chances. $20 for 5 chances. $35 for 10 chances.
HOW: To purchase chances you can do it a few ways. Check or PayPal are accepted. Please make a note it is for the quilt raffle or send me a message. Some people can see where it says to leave a note and some cannot. Below is the rescue's PayPal link and the mailing address, if you choose to send a check. If you don't want to use the link, you can also go on Facebook to either the rescue's regular page Low Rider Dachshund Rescue of Florida or our auction group at Low Rider Dachshund Rescue of Florida Awesome Auctions. We have the raffle posted in both locations on Facebook.

Check send to:
Low Rider Dachshund Rescue of FL
13435 S. McCall Rd.
Unit 16, Box 135
Port Charlotte, FL 33981

For each chance purchased your name is written down on a spreadsheet. Example: you buy 50 chances, then your name is written down 50 times. Each line is assigned a number. An online random number generator will select a number. The name that corresponds to that number is the winner. Drawing is live Jan. 28th on the rescue's Facebook page.

Here is info. on the two little dogs:

Maple is a senior, 13 year old red girl—a big one--(at a whopping 36 pounds) who is loving and deserves the chance to live life without the encumbrance of a very large tumor on her chest and enjoy the rest of her life in comfort. She is also heartworm positive. The good news is we expect this tumor to be mostly benign and just a lipoma, but nevertheless, what a terrible thing to live with and it needs to GO.

And then there is Little Bit, a senior black and tan girl of 10 years, 12.5 pounds (2.5 pounds of which, at the very least, is a large mammary tumor located between her back legs). She can hardly walk without it dragging the ground. And yet her foster mom reports she wags her tail constantly and has the sweetest disposition you could ever imagine! X-rays show no masses in her major organs and her bloodwork is good so this girl has a lot of life ahead of her.

Thank you in advance for helping us to fund these surgeries and make a big difference in their lives! GOOD LUCK in the drawing!! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

I'm not over that, but I had inquired about the same thing in the past. I recall it was not an option.

I just donated via Paypal $50 - no quilt required. May they have their surgeries soon. I do this in the name of my dog "LitBit" that I lost some years ago.

You never know. Maybe some kind soul would absorb the cost if they could deal directly with the vet

sueblack, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved "LilBit" some years ago. That is never easy. Thank you so much for helping this Lil Bit. It is a wonderful thing to honor our previous pets by helping another in need. Many blessings to you and yours.

Thank you for rescuing those precious munchkins! I've been involved in rescue for at least 30 years if not longer, and I love it! It's so rewarding. The quilts are beautiful.
