Welcome to the Fourth Annual Dogs Deserve Better Calendar, which gets rave reviews by everyone who buys or reads it. This year we've outdone ourselves, or shall we say you've outdone yourselves! You submitted your rescued, formerly chained or penned dogs for our consideration, and we made every effort to get as many of their stories and photos into our calendar as possible.

We've compiled 28 dog rescue stories for you—all Happy Ending of course—and you'll come to know the dogs in a new way as you read their touching stories each month!

We had a great time pulling together a gorgeous, full color calendar, and an especially good time designing 6 covers for you to choose our winning cover model. Thanks to the concerted efforts of Rhonda Sims, who campaigned extensively for votes for her rescued boy Job, he was the winner this year with almost 700 votes! Never fear, though, all of our gorgeous calendar cover model contestants will appear somewhere within our calendar—they will still get their time in the sun!

We are the only calendar to focus solely on chained and penned dog rescue stories, so don't miss out! Our stories are vibrant, our photos are gorgeous and fun . . . The calendar is full color throughout, and features stories of 28 rescued dogs, each different, each heart-warming, each happy-ending. Full-page stories are complete with before and after photos, while bottom stories feature smaller, after photos with a story.

Job was a cruelty case who lived in a tiny pen, suffered severe neglect, was emaciated, blind in one eye, and was just in such horrible condition. He had to be in the shelter for months due to the court case, then Room For One More agreed to take him, knowing that he would have huge vet bills. They found a wonderful man named Ray who had lost his other special needs cocker, and he adopted Job! He now has a wonderful new life, and his dad Ray says he is just happy and spoiled rotten! 

Can't wait to read more about Banshee, Josh, Frankie, Marlee and 24 others? Wait, there's more...

The calendar also features 14 Months as opposed to the normal 12, and includes December 2008, for you early birds, and January 2010, for those of us who procrastinate about buying a new one, or getting it hung up once we have it.

We offer price breaks at 5, 10, and 20 calendars. If you'd like to help us fundraise by selling higher quantities please contact us for information.(Or, if you're a smaller rescue who'd like to give them away with your adoption packets, please contact us for even deeper discounts.)

Education can and does work with many people! Even when we don't see immediate payoff for our efforts, rest assured we are making progress, one educational block at a time. Displaying a Dogs Deserve Better calendar in your home or office is just one more way to educate those around you...So pick some up for friends and family as holiday gifts this year, and start an educational wave!
