A simple flower purchase in the Australian Shepherds Furever’s (ASF) Fall Bulb Fundraiser can grow into something beautiful—love, companionship, and second chances.
Thursday, October 30th at midnight is the last day to purchase bulbs in this fundraiser that supports The Shani Memorial Fund. This fund pays the adoption fees for a senior human to adopt a senior Aussie and give them another chance in life.
How did this fundraiser start? Shani, ASF’s beloved Senior Spokesdog, was deemed unadoptable due to her being blind, about 10 years old, and wounded when she found herself at a high kill shelter. A kind shelter staff member saw something in her and reached out to ASF in hopes they would give her a second chance. And they did! After corrective eye surgery and being transported to a foster who helped heal her inside and out, she was adopted by her foster’s mom and dad. Shani went on to become a certified pet therapy dog and helped spread love to everyone she met while visiting nursing communities, foster care events, colleges during exam times and rehab units.
Give & Garden is once again partnering with ASF and is giving back 50% of ALL bulb sales you make to The Shani Memorial Fund. Won’t you consider helping Aussies just like Shani get a second chance in life? No dog is ever too old to be chosen again. And when we choose what the world calls “almost over,” we often save what’s still left –in them and in someone’s life by providing love and companionship! We’re only about $250 away from reaching $1,000 – will you help get us there?
