Meet Foster

I want to introduce everyone to MyPalPeppy's latest "virtual adoption" pomeranian rescue project; his name is Foster.

Isn't he a sweetheart???

Foster is an older pom (he's 10) and he needs a new home. What a face! How can anyone resist him? If I thought my other dogs and my husband would tolerate another addition to the pack, I'd scoop Foster up like a shot. Sigh...  But then, I mustn't be selfish. There's someone out there who needs Foster as much as Foster needs him/her. The love of a dog is very precious.

For those of you new to this blog, my Etsy shop MyPalPeppy donates 15% of its sales to help offset adoption fees and vet bills for Displaced Pets Rescue, a small but dedicated organization that specializes in finding new homes for small breed dogs in the Pacific Northwest. They do excellent work--last year they were responsible for 54 rescue placements!

Wonderful News! Teddy Has Been Adopted!

I just received this e-mail from the organization, Displaced Pets Rescue:

I am delighted to report that Teddy has found a wonderful home.  He went home with them today and they will be getting ready to begin a great life of adventure.  They leave next month for two months in the South.  They are an active couple who enjoy long walks on the beach and found the perfect partner for their retirement.  Teddy made an instant connection with them and I was able to do our home visit with them last night.  We are very excited to watch this family flourish.

Thanks so much for your assistance.

If you are in need of another sponsor puppy I will be posting pictures later today or tomorrow of Mimi, a little black and tan Pomeranian.  She is a very sweet girl who has not been cared for very well.  She came to us with severely infected eyes.  We have been treating her now for two weeks and believe now that we have been able to save her eyes.  There has been significant improvement, but we are unsure whether her tear ducts are permanently  damaged or how much vision she is going to retain.  In the meantime our Vet bills are piling up.  We already have paid more for vet care than our placement fee maximum of $350.  

As soon as I obtain photos of Mimi, I will be posting them and we'll start raising funds for her vet bills and adoption fee.  Thanks again to all "MyPalPeppy" friends and supporters!

New Charity Focus

Now that Peppy's had his surgery and recovered, I've been casting about for a good use for the funds his shop generates. For a while, 10% of the proceeds were going to "Penny's from Heaven" which helped train/place therapy dogs with returning veterans suffering from PTSD. However, that organization seems to have dissolved, and I wanted to do something a little more local.

I'm happy to announce I've found a great pet rescue group that specializes in re-homing pomeranians and other small breed dogs.  It's called Displaced Pets Rescue and it serves northwest Oregon and all of Washington.

Here's the little fellow I want to help first:
   This is Teddy! Isn't he a cutie?

 Teddy is a 5-year old cream parti-color pomeranian whose original owner was living with him in a car due to a hoarding situation. The owner died, and Teddy needs a proper home--you know, one with a house to live in and a good fenced yard!  You can check out his profile at:

Pet adoption fees are pricey here in Washington state, and for that reason, it can be tough to find homes for displaced pets. Seniors, in particular, benefit so much from having small dogs, but often cannot afford the $300 fee up front. That's where you come in!  20% of all sales are being donated to Teddy's adoption fee account until such time as he is adopted or the $300 fee is accumulated.  Won't you help Peppy help Teddy?



I know what a tremendous blessing my dogs are to me.  I thank God for them every day--actually, several times a day!  I'd like to help someone else experience this very special bond.




I hope you'll pass the word, and thanks for your support!
