Our Letter to Santa
From the homeless dogs at Rescue

Dear Santa,

We hope you have had a wonderful and restful vacation this year, here at the rescue things have been slow. Finding great homes is really tough! We have tried our very best to be good dogs this year but even our best is sometimes not good enough for some people. We know that we may not have been good all year so we hope you will forgive us for our bad days. We have our paws crossed that you will find it in your heart to give us a few presents again this year. Yes we know that the economy is still struggling and election years are tough but hey we are homeless dogs that need and want new toys to play with!

Our first gift as always, we would love to find forever homes, especially for the senior dogs that seldom are even looked at. But we aren't dumb like some people think, we know that there is no chance for all of us to get a home and heck with the economy we will be lucky if anyone gets adopted. So we are thinking realistically, we would like toys that would last us a few weeks and not cause Grandma to worry about a blockage surgery because we ate the toy, plus toys are cheaper then surgery!

With todays economy we would also ask that you buy American made dog toys and maybe we can help put a few people back to work and then more homeless dogs would be adopted! Here are a few links to find American made dog toys. Of course not all of the toys on our list are made in the USA, but we tried!!!

Thank you Santa for reading our letter again this year and we sure hope you can give us each a toy for Christmas, of course 2 would be great, but 1 each would give us all some joy this holiday season. Also Santa please don't bother wrapping our gifts, that is more work for Grandma and after all we do care about our planet and the global warming we keep hearing about!

Santa, just so you don't have to work too hard looking for our toys & stuff we have included some links where we found them. Of course please feel free to shop anywhere you prefer!
