Hello, my name is Marleen Oetzel, and I am the adoption/foster coordinator for L&F Dog Rescue. Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the Chain Off 2008 sponsored by Dogs Deserve Better - NO CHAINS! I've promised to chain myself & sleep in a dog house for 36 hours to raise awareness for dogs that are held hostage by chains & kennels 24/7 their entire lives.
With your help, my goal is to raise $4,000 for this organization so they can help dogs who are chained up in backyards stretching from Delaware to Alaska. One of the ways the donations will be used is to provide fencing for people who agree to bring the dog indoors. For success stories visit: http://www.dogsdeservebetter.org/fencing.html
I was horrified to learn there is also a public safety issues posed by chained dogs. Perpetually chained dogs are responsible for hundreds of attacks on children every year.http://www.mothersagainstdogchaining.org/attacks.html ~ If you sponsor ME for just one hour or for each hour that I am chained — (no donation is too small) I promise to do all I can to take a stand along with Dogs Deserve Better, Kent County SPCA to help change the laws here in Delaware so that the practice of chaining and kenneling dogs 24/7 for life is abolished.
My second chain off is being held at Faithful Friends, a no kill shelter. It will be held July 5th from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Please stop by their facility to visit us at 12-a Germay Drive, Wilmington DE 19804. There will be an information booth. We will have door prizes, raffles, water ice, soft pretzels and soda & face painting for the kids!
If you stop by Saturday 7/5/08 you can meet both of our DE-CHAINED dogs DeeJay and Handsome Jake. They will be happy to sign paw-autographs! Meet Our Handsome Jake, he spent over 7 years at the end of this chain and this was his "home"
