July 2003 EskieFriends RescuER Auction
Learn about this auction's purpose by reading
the information page!
This auction is now over, but results will remain posted for reference.
Auction items and updates are accessed via the Listing Page!
Auction Details:
"EskieFriends" is NOT 501(c)3.
Your donations are NOT tax-deductible, but
they will help out in this effort!
We have 9 rescue groups participating in
this auction, with over 170 packages.
Make sure you check ALL the donations BEFORE
you start bidding...there are LOTS of great
items, so don't miss any of them! Due to
the large number of items, if an item does
not get a bid, we will NOT be lowering any
opening bids in this auction. Most opening
bids have been assigned by the rescuers.
To ALL the rescuers involved in THIS auction,
this is our way to say THANK YOU! And, many, many, MANY dogs will give you
the woofs and licks you so well deserve for
giving them the chance to find a loving,
permanent home!
I will be including rescue poems/stories
in the nightly updates. Be sure to read them.
Place a bid to tell the rescuers THANKS for
the work they do...with the high stress of
rescue work, rescuers need a heartfelt "appreciation"
now and then!
The RescuER auction requirements for this
auction are:
-Rescuers must be active in rescuing/fostering
Eskies ("The Dog Beautiful").
-Rescuers must "Bring Their Own Donations".
-Once they are a participant, ANYONE can
donate on their behalf.
-Each rescuer gets 100% of the $$ raised
by their donations and those donated TO them(these
are the items in "their" sections!).
-ANYONE can donate to "General Rescue".
-The general rescue $$ will be divided up
between all the participants. Amount will
be pro-rated to each rescuer's total. In
other words, the "general total"
will be divided by percentage of each rescuer's
total, thus rescuers are rewarded for the
time, donations, and effort they devoted
to this auction(as was done the previous
2 years in the RescuER auction!).
What is a rescuer? Though one could get into a lot of detail,
as rescue work involves many angles and considerations,
a simple description is that a rescuer is
a person or group of people who "rescue"
stray, surrendered, abandoned, abused, neglected,
or otherwise "unwanted" dogs and
cats from unfortunate situations in life!
Thus, when animals are taken into "shelters"
or other such local organizations, or sometimes
brought right to the rescuers, it is the
rescuers who are often the saving grace these
animals so desperately need! As many are
faced with the ultimatum of immediate "placement"
or "euthanization," rescuers do
their very best to help find new, loving
homes for these formerly "unwanted"
creatures! Fosters will "foster"
a dog or cat until a "good" home
can be found, thus buying a little more time,
and possibly developing some social interaction
for the animal prior to placement! Most rescuers
are VERY particular about the homes they
adopt to as they do NOT want to see these
dogs and cats BACK out on the streets in
yet another unloving instance! Just about
everyone involved in rescue work is a firm
believer in "responsible pet ownership"
and they know all too well that if more people
took that as what it is: a RESPONSIBILITY
to care for the creatures God has put in
our care, there would be far less need for
the work they do. They would love to see
EVERY dog, cat, and ALL creatures have loving,
permanent homes! Rescue folks put LOTS of
their own time and money into their efforts.....with
one motive.....THEY CARE! They care about
the dogs and cats they work with, and seek
to give them what they so rightly deserve:
A Second Chance to Live a Good Life! And,
this is why we are so proud to make THIS
auction one that helps those who help give
dogs (Eskies in particular!) and other animals(friends
of the eskies!) exactly what the very theme
of these auctions is: Giving Life a Second
Chance!

buy items. A few canine vendors offer me
discounts.
