Give a homeless pooch a second chance!

This is a wonderful opportunity for all you animal lovers.  

The Shelby County Humane Society is super-overcrowded, so many adoptable dogs are sent to the sister shelter in New Hampshire where they can be adopted out quickly.  New Hampshire has done an amazing job with their spay/neuter laws, so there are not very many animals available for adoption up there.  Once the dogs reach the New Hampshire shelter, they are almost always adopted out to their "forever home" within a week.  

You can help sponsor a dog's trip for just $50.  A wonderful photographer, Jeronimo Nisa, has volunteered his services to take photos of the hopeful traveling pooches and make Christmas ornaments out of them.  Each donor chooses the dog they would like to sponsor, makes the donation, and they receive their ornament.  You can also make a donation and purchase an ornament in honor of someone else as a thoughtful Christmas gift.  $50 can be a lot of dough, especially during the holidays, so I am actually splitting the cost with someone else to sponsor a dog.
