Speaking of Christmas gifts, have you checked out our new t-shirts on our store yet? We have three new Petey’s Promise designs, and also will be featuring some shirts from the Guardians of Animals non-profit as well. Guardians of Animals is a leader in promoting “Puppy Mill Free America”, and we are excited about being able to work with them on not only their apparel, but their raffle as well. For just $20 you can purchase a raffle ticket to win a 2008 Ford F-150 XL truck. They are only selling 2,000 tickets, so your chances of winning are excellent. Soon you can purchase your tickets on the Petey’s Promise store. The drawing will be held December 15th, 2009. What a great Christmas surprise that would be for a loved one!

We have one more fundraiser to go this month. This Saturday, October 24th, is Dog’s Day Out at Les Meyer’s Park in Concord, NC. The day will include a Doggie Fun Zone, Contests (Obedience Contest at 11:45; Talent Contest at 12:15; Costume Contest at 1:15), Pet Photos, Information Booths, Vendor Booths, Veterinarian Village, Food, K9 Demos & MORE! Be sure you come out and stop by to tell us hello! We will be doing “Paw Readings” at our booth by the famous and amazing “Pet Whisperer”.

Also, don’t forget that anyone needing a dog house for this Winter can contact Petey’s Promise or Kitty City to sign up. They will be built this weekend at the Dog’s Day Out by Concord youth volunteers. This is a great project and we are so happy to see our youth taking a step to help their neighbors.

Okay, that’s it for now, but we will be back next week with photos from our October adventures.

Peace, Love & Paws,
Liz, Petey and the Petey’s Promise Staff

First, October 14th, from 11am-7pm Petey’s Promise has been invited to participate in the Greg Biffle Foundation Day at Roush-Fenway Racing. This is going to be a very exciting day for all racing fans! Potential drivers and special appearances will be made by Greg and Nicole Biffle, Matt and Katie Kenseth, Jamie and Christ McMurray, and Carl Edwards.

There will be live bands, horse/dog training seminars, booths full of local pet care providers, NC Agility Dogs and best of all FOOD! This is one event you will not want to miss! Please come by the Petey’s Promise booth and say hello!

Next up, on October 24th is Concord’s Dogs’ Day Out festival at Les Myers Park from 11am-2pm at Les Myers Park. There will be tons of vendors and non-profit groups participating. Also, this year we will have a group of Concord youth helping build dog houses for those in need of help keeping their animals warm this winter. If you are interested in signing up for a free dog house you can email us at peteyspromise@gmail.com or sign up at Kitty City.

I will keep everyone updated as plans fall into place for the two events.

Also, please check out our store if you haven’t lately! We are bringing in new merchandise everyday. Right now we have three new T-shirt designs that should be up in a few weeks, and also, my new book Cinderella is Dead and I don’t Feel so Good Either is for sale online. A portion of the proceeds from each book is going directly to Petey’s Promise!

Wednesday, July 22nd is Petey’s Promise Night, and not only will Petey be throwing out the first pitch (don’t ask – we don’t know how yet), but all the fans will join together to sing Happy Birthday to Petey during one of the first three innings. Tickets are still available on our store for $6 each.

OR, if for some unexplained reason, you can’t come to the game, please consider making a monetary donation to our non-profit. We will receive a lot of pet supplies that night, but we can’t pay rent in dog bones. We have tried, it doesn’t work.

As you know, in February we ran our Share the Love with your Four Legged Friends contest, and we received hundreds of photos through our Web site and Facebook page. I can’t believe how many people took time to upload pictures of their adorable animals. We enjoyed looking at each and every one. Congratulations to Anna M. from Charlotte, NC, for winning our grand prize, and Jimmy A. of Norfolk, VA, for being our first prize winner.

The month concluded with a great article on how Petey’s Promise is helping the community in the March 1st, Charlotte (NC) Observer. Of course, Petey posed for the photographer like a pro and did a spectacular job promoting his favorite charity!

Also, if you haven’t yet, please check out our new Petey’s Promise online store www.shop.peteyspromise.org. The site was created by our own Sara B. and she did a fantastic job as always. We have everything from ACC accessories to designer flip flops. All proceeds go to directly to our foundation.

With all of the excitement from the past month, we just can’t wait to see where we go from here!

We also have some promotional items and even a special order vanity plate.
