Join the Planet Dog Foundation to Fund Canine Search Teams in Haiti

Here is a message from Planet Dog:

Dear Friends:

The Planet Dog Foundation specializes in grant funding for programs that work with dogs to help people in need. Nowhere is there more need to help people in crisis than in Haiti. Search dog teams are working around the clock in Port-au-Prince and beyond to locate survivors and dangerous materials in the rubble.

PDF will be making an emergency donation to the National Disaster Search Dog Rescue to support the efforts of their teams currently active in Haiti. Their teams train rigorously for years, so they can immediately mobilize in times of unthinkable disasters like this one.

If you have not yet given, or would like to offer additional support to fund the work of life-saving dogs in the rescue efforts, please make a donation to the Planet Dog Foundation by Monday, February 8. Your donation will be matched by PDF, and then our donation to the Search Dog Foundation will be matched by Joanne Woodward Newman, of Newman’s Own, and the Newman Foundation – so your gift will be QUADRUPLED!

You can make a donation at the Planet Dog Company Store at 211 Marginal Way in Portland, or mail your donation to PDF, 49 York Street, Portland, ME 04101. When sending by mail please note that it is a gift for the Matching Grant Program for Haiti.

PDF will match all pledges up to $1,500 and send a donation to the Search Dog Foundation on Wednesday, February 10. The Newman Foundation will match the PDF gift on February 15. You contribute $20. PDF sends $40. Newman contributes an additional $40 = $80 to SDF – your contribution go FOUR times as far.
