Alberta rescue are holding a fund raiser silent auction & raffle!  Our plans were to hold a raffle at the show in Camrose, Alberta, October 13, 14 & 15, 2006 but the BRCA cancelled our plans at the last minute and wouldn't allow us to hold the auction!

If you would like to make a donation of a raffle item, to be used at a future show who will allow us to hold the auction/raffle, please contact Jeni Gallichan at aussies@mikatura.com or more information.

Also when we have new dogs coming in to rescue all the time, we tend to not have everything we need.  If you can help out with any of the following we, both volunteer rescuers and Aussies, would be forever grateful!  And please remember "gently used" is just as welcome as new!  We will have boxes available at Camrose for donations of any donations of articles for use with the rescue dogs (a partial list is at the bottom of this page). 

Here is a partial list of things that'll be in the auction and links to websites of our donors!  We send a huge THANK YOU out to all of them!!!
