My goal, however, is to raise enough funds to return that portion to the organization so I have left the campaign bar for the entire amount.

So far, $5.55 has been raised to pay the veterinary bill. Please help by donating or buying crocheted items at my etsy store. 100% of all donations and 15% of all sales of crocheted items will go toward their bill.

EFA is a street team or group of artists and craftspeople on Etsy.com who donate some portion of their sales to animal rescues and charities. Right now, I am working on saving these two little puppies. Fifteen percent of all sales of my crochet items will be donated to these two puppies (that includes my etsy shop and my street market booth – every Thursday).

The two little puppies, temporarily named Browny and Blacky, visited the veterinarian over the weekend. Each puppy was given a dip for their mange, medicine for deworming, their first vaccination, a dose of Revolution to kill off any remaining mange, and antibiotics. To date, their treatment has cost $335.13! It just goes to show you what these two puppies have been going through. To help pay for this bill, 15% of any purchase of any of my crocheted items at Etsy and at the Thursday Street Market will go towards this bill. So, if you find anything you like, rest assured that your purchase will help these two puppies.

Look at them now. Feeling so much better, they are a bundle of energy waiting for a new home.

Black Puppy Needing HomeThe life of a stray puppy in Saipan is bleak. With no animal cruelty laws and no homeless shelter, they are left to their own demise, unless they are fortunate enough to be found by a caring human.

Brown Puppy Needing HomeJust a couple of days ago, two puppies landed on my front driveway. Both have the heart of a tiger but they need help. They have mange, although the brown one has it significantly more. They both are at a good weight but I do not know how old they are. Its often difficult to find a home for sick puppies, so I have decided to sell my crocheted items for their benefit at my etsy shop – at least 15% of each purchase will go towards them. If there is excess funds, they will be donated to PAWS, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping out animals in need. For those people in Saipan, contact me directly so I can save you on shipping (I’ll drop it off to you).

If you are interested in adopting these puppies, contact El.
