"We need to find great stuff for the auction. I'm doing my part." "What about you?"

Help make our 11^th Annual Joey Fund Auction* the best ever!

Here’s how you can help:

We have a standard e-mail message that we forward to online businesses and artists, requesting auction donations. We provide you with the e-mail addresses; all you have to do is type them into the address line, pop in the message we give you, and cross your fingers. A few minutes each day, or an hour on the weekend is all we ask of you. It’s that easy. No direct begging necessary—we leave that to our cockers!  For more info e-mail Lissa mollychick100@AOL.com or call 339-234-1586.

*The Joey Fund was established in 1997 to pay medical bills for dogs like Shannon and Princess. For ten years proceeds from the Joey Fund Auction have done just that. The Joey Fund Auction is our largest fundraiser, and all the proceeds from the auction go to help neglected cockers.

Please read Joey's Story:  We knew this day would come, the day we would learn that Joey finally succumbed to the cancer he had for so long successfully beaten. Since his rescue in January 1997, Joey had some setbacks but he always bounced back, resumed eating everything in sight, and thoroughly enjoyed life with his devoted foster mom and canine buddies.

Joey was a survivor. We hoped that he was the cocker with nine lives and that he would live well into the new millennium. Now this most precious of cockers was gone, this dog who gave his name to CSRNE's Joey Fund.

Joey's legacy is simply wonderful. Close to 100 cockers with serious medical problems have been successfully treated and adopted since the Joey Fund was established in 1997. Treatments for kidney disease, bladder stones, heartworm disease, cataracts, and severe skin infections have been successfully performed. Tumors have been removed, broken bones have been set, ablations have eased chronic ear pain, and one cocker even had open-heart surgery.

Through these cockers, Joey's legacy lives on. And his spirit lives on in those who rescued, nurtured and loved him.

Come experience the excitement of CSRNE’s biggest fundraising “EVENT” of the year!  It’s an incredibly rewarding day as ANIMAL LOVERS and cocker fans UNITE for a great cause!  All proceeds help replenish the “Joey Fund” – a special fund established to help cockers in need of medical care.
