Heart Bandits American Eskimo Dog Rescue

as of 01/22/06

 

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, brought up to date on vaccines, and another medical treatment that is needed before they are placed for adoption. Your dollars will be spent on such things including veterinary care, food supplies, and shelter fees (charged to get a dog out of the shelter/pounds/humane societies.).  There are no paid employees of TLC Rescue.  We are all volunteers so the money you donate goes directly to the animals.  There are a number of ways you can help us help the dogs.

Another way to help our organization with donations is to shop from our Online store or from our Affiliates page. 

We are also collecting used printer cartridges.  Cash for Critters pays our group $1 - $12 for each empty Ink Jet or Laser printer cartridge we collect and $2.50 for each digital cell phone (working or not). If you would like to receive envelopes for the ink cartridges, please email us and let us know and we'll mail one to you.

Donate your used cell phones.  Our organization can receive up to $300 per cell phone.

Plastic 20oz Bottles.  We are collecting 20oz bottles that have small mouths, and the labels removed.  For example any 20 oz Pepsi, Coke, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper bottle with it's label removed would be ideal.  TLC Rescue will even remove the labels if you will only collect the bottles for us.  We will receive $.05 to $.06 for each bottle we send in.
