COOKBOOK AND PHOTO PROJECT

Hello Puppy Love Adopters, Supporters and Friends.

Well, its been nearly two years since our baby steps into our first adoptions in September, 2010.  To date, we've placed over 280 very lucky pups with wonderful families.  We hear from many of you, and are thrilled that our Louisiana "throw-away" dogs have brightened your days and filled your lives with unconditional love. It warms our hearts to hear such sweet stories and humorous anecdotes -- naughty behaviors, too :)  Our rescue has given back to us so much pleasure, and its because of terrific people providing forever families to terrific dogs.  Some days we cry, most days we laugh, and every day we are grateful that so many lives have been saved.

We are writing to you today to ask for updates --- stories and photos -- of your Puppy Love pups.  They will be featured at our fundraiser event in September. Please email or mail any stories and/or photos you would like to share.  

We are also requesting your favorite recipes to be included in a cookbook featuring Louisiana/New England regional foods.  This will also include    doggy treats.  Our goal is to try to have it ready for the annual fundraiser, but certainly by the holiday season.  Recipes for your favorite appetizer, salad, entree, side dishes, desserts and/or doggy treats are needed.  Please include your name and city/town and state so we can publish it with the recipe.  These can be emailed or mailed to us.

If you choose to mail your information, please send to Puppy Love, 9 Briar Ledge Lane, Bailey Island, ME 04003.
