Hurry, time is running out for our July/August raffle for the Lakeroad Ferret Farm Rescue & Shelter. The deadline for purchasing tickets is 9:00 PM EST on August 28th (that's 6:00 PM Pacific Time) When you look lovingly at your furkid that you adopted from a shelter, just think about the unconditional dedication, sacrifice, love and care that a shelter mom or dad extended to your furkid so that you two could find each other. Brenda Johnson dedicates herself every day to our fine furry friends and since she's the only shelter in upstate New York, you can imagine how busy things are for her. Brenda has saved hundreds of ferrets' lives and now she needs a little help from all of us to get her through. For as little as $2 you can help Brenda and at the same time, you can win one of 10 really cool prizes in the Friends of Ferret Shelters raffle: http://www.shelterfriends.blogspot.com * An outdoor gourmet griller's gift basket with a delicious selection of sauces and spice! * Beautiful, delicate crystal, bead and pewter ferret earrings handmade by artist Lynne Whited! * Adorable, amazingly comfy ferret beds: cars, strawberries, "monster truck" fabric and Cozy Kritter cubes! * A luxury Bath & Body Works gift set with lotions, slippers, candles and a complete manicure/pedicure set! * One totally adorable, three-dimensional wood picture frame designed by Mary Badenhop of Pipsqueak Productions! * A pamper-your-ferret gift basket with toys, treats, bedding, a handy cage pocket and Totally Ferret for senior ferrets! Every penny from your ticket purchase goes directly to the Lakeroad Ferret Farm Rescue & Shelter. Tickets are $2 each, three for $6 or six for $10. The deadline for entries is Tuesday, Aug. 28 at 9:00 PM. Pay instantly with PayPal - instructions are on our website. You can buy tickets for one item or any combination of items you want. Brenda needs our help. Won't you spare a couple of dollars - and perhaps win a great prize too? Thank you, Susann Thiel and Lisa Oestereich Friends of Ferret Shelters [Posted in FML 5712]
