During the holiday season, we often pause to reflect upon our actions over the past year; perhaps, it would be good to think about how we can begin the new year in a positive and meaningful way. 2011 brought Last Hope, Safe Haven into many situations where beautiful German Shepherds needed help desperately ... their lives depended upon finding the funds to save them. Weeping Willow and other GSD and AB rescues have used funds raised by Last Hope to provide needy German Shepherds with everything from pull-fees from kill shelters to much needed veterinary and foster care to soft beds for seniors to rest their weary bodies. We were only able to provide these much needed services because of your generous donations. Let's begin 2012 by giving, once again, to our beloved breed. A postage stamp costs 44 cents. If every person on this list would hand deliver 2 1/2 of their holiday cards this year, each of you would save $1.00 on postage and have the opportunity to see a friend's smile when you hand them your card. Please, take that dollar, put it in an envelope and send it to Last Hope. Together, we can continue to make a difference! We, at Last Hope, thank you for your ongoing support. Wishing you and yours the most wonderful and Happy Holidays! Last Hope, Safe Haven, Inc. (501(c)3 P.O.
