Vote for A Chance for Bliss

Please help A Chance for Bliss win this contest as they help very old horses, dogs, etc to have a loving place to live out their lives and they can use the money as feeding and caring for these animals is expensive as we all know. As they are a sanctuary only they depend upon donations so winning this Grant would help them tremendously.

Place your vote here for this wonderful animal sanctuary to receive a $50k grant from Pepsi. Remember once you sign-in, you need to click on the "vote for thisidea" button again or your vote won't get counted.
Hooray for Nicky!

Current Fundraisers for ABTR

Simple Dog Fundraiser

ABTR has partnered with Simple Dog (bestpetstickers.com) for a great little fundraiser to benefit our wonderful foster dogs. We hope you'll take a look!

Simple

Simple Dog will donate $5 to ABTR for each and every product purchased in our name! This applies to all breed items on their website, not just Bostons. Be sure to select "Other Charity" and note "American BT Rescue" in the blank field.

These are really nice items and the designs vary by breed, so be sure to check 'em out. Current breeed offerings include: Beagle, Boxer, Bulldog, Boston Terrier, Chihuahua, Cocker Spaniel, Corgi, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Great Dane, Greyhound, Italian Greyhound, Labrador Retriever, Papillon, Poodle, Pug, Rat Terrier, Shiba Inu, Shih Tzu, Terrier, Whippet, and Yorkie.

Just remember to enter American BT Rescue in the blank field when ordering.


Scentsy Fundraiser

ABTR has partnered with a very generous Scentsy representative to bring you this wonderfully unique fundraising opportunity. Please note that this offer is valid only through our partnership with this individual Scentsy Independent Consultant.

Until further notice, American Boston Terrier Rescue will receive 15% of all sales, minus sales tax and shipping, from Scentsy products purchased at her site!

To place an order, please visit this site. Go to the section labeled "My Open Parties" and scroll down to "Boston Terrier Rescue" and click "Buy from party". This link will take you to the Scentsy Online Catalog from which you may place your order. The "Paws" warmer can be found in the "Monthly Specials" section by selecting the "Scent and Warmer of the Month" link. Of course you may browse all of the exciting Scentsy products and purchase as many products as you wish.

When ordering a warmer, our Consultant recommends that you also purchase a fragrance bar. Each bar has six squares and the fragrance square will last from eight to ten hours. The entire bar will last forty to sixty hours.

There are no shipping charges for product orders over $150. For orders less than $150, a 10% shipping charge will be added. Online orders totaling $150.00 or more are entitled to free merchandise and half-price items, exclusive of the June warmer and products of the month. The website will guide you through the ordering process.

You may pay with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express.

Remember, Scentsy products are authentic, unique, great quality and have a 100% guarantee. Should you have any questions, there is an email link just below our Consultant's name on her webpage.

July Specials:
Scent of the Month: Paradise Punch (10% off in July)
Warmer of the Month: Tiki (10% off in July)

The more Scentsy products you purchase, the more money donated to American Boston Terrier Rescue.

Let's work together to help the Bostons!


Avon Fundraiser

Go to the AVON website

ABTR is pleased to announce an Avon fundraiser to benefit the dogs of ABTR.

Many thanks to Donna Dawley for creating this great fundraising opportunity for the ABTR pack. From now until the end of March, 10% from all orders placed through her site will be donated to ABTR!

Important note: Please enter code ABTR3 during check out to ensure the donation is properly credited.


Shop with Mary Kay

Longtime supporter and ABTR adopter Donna Dawley is offering to donate 20% of her profits when you purchase from her Mary Kay store and enter ABTR as the event code.

Visit her store!

She is unable to provide free shipping and donate to ABTR, but most items will be inexpensive to ship using USPS Flat Rate boxes. If you are local to the DFW area, she can even deliver them to you!

There is no expiration date on this offer, just be sure to enter ABTR as the event code to ensure ABTR is credited with the sale. Thanks!

If you are in the DFW area and want to book a party with a minimum of four participants, Donna will also donate a portion of the sales proceeds to ABTR. Thanks Donna! You may also donate a portion of your hostess gift(s) to help us raise more money to pay for the vetting of our foster dogs.


'Reading Fur Rescue'

The Ultimate Gift Fur Your Dog-Loving Friends and Family: Great Books that Give Back!

Pick up books at the Happy Tails Books website and be sure to say you heard out about them from ABTR on the checkout page so our rescue will get credit for the sale.

Sharing books from the 'Lost Souls: Found!' series, which contain over 50 heartwarming stories about adopted dogs, is a great opportunity to help raise awareness about dog rescue. It will surely be one of the most memorable and appreciated gifts you give this year.

'Hollywood Barks!' is revered Hollywood Studio Wrangler Kathryn Segura's memoir, which brings to light the fact that many Hollywood 'star' dogs are actually rescues! The 'tails' within are funny, poignant, and a must-read for any dog-lover or movie buff.

Previews of all books are available on the website.


Doggie Drawings by Lili Chin

Lili fundraiser

See the pages and pages of beautiful graphics by Lili - you'll surely want to immortalize YOUR special friend(s) with a Lili original!

Lili has generously offered to donate 25% of each order placed by an ABTR Friend (or supporter of ABTR, or family member of ABTR, or neighbor, coworker, whatever) to our cause. Just be sure to let her know that you support American Boston Terrier Rescue!

Here's the lowdown, straight from Lili's blog:

What you will receive:
A 8.5 x 11” print on Epson Enhanced Matte paper sent by USPS First Class mail
A link to a downloadable digital image (high resolution PDF format) of your fur baby from which you can make as many extra copies as you wish.
I will email you a preview of the illustration before I complete it so that if you absolutely hate it or need to have certain things changed, this is a good time to let me know. :)

Depending on how busy I am (because I do other work during the day) the finished drawing could take any time from 1 day to 2 weeks.

THE COST?

$50 for a drawing with 1 dog
$75 for a drawing with 2 dogs
$100 a drawing with 3 dogs
etc. These prices include shipping to anywhere in the world.

If you would like to commission a drawing of your dog(s), please send me a message with a short description of their personalities and a link to photos if they are in an online gallery (eg, Flickr, photobucket, etc) Or you could email your favorite photos to me. I prefer photos that include different angles and a full body pose (undressed! :)) so that I can see their unique body markings clearly. Or if I could meet your dogs… that would be the best! My email address is lili.chin (at) gmail.com.

We hope you'll all consider participating in this ongoing fundraiser. Just think how proud you'll be to display a genuine work of art featuring your furbaby! And what an AMAZING gift idea for Mother's Day, Father's Day, a birthday, Christmas, or any other special occasion! It's an affordable, personal and incredibly thoughtful gift for the dog lovers (or any pet, really) in your life! The possibilities are endless, and doggies in need will benefit - what could be better?


Help ABTR Fill Our Virtual Billboard!

ABTR has created a virtual billboard using GiveWithoutGiving.org. This is a super cool new fundraising tool that allows supporters to make donations in $1 increments to help us reveal our virtual billboard image. Donors may upload an image, provide a URL, and leave a personal message, all for as little as $1.

Please consider supporting ABTR so we may continue to help dogs with emergency medical needs like Nicky, Junebug and ZaZa. Your support will also enable us to continue to strive toward a puppymill-free nation as we work with local officials to care for Bostons that were formerly trapped in horrendous mill situations.

We can't do this without your help, and we're always looking for new and novel ways to put the FUN back in fundraising!
