Scentsy Fundraiser
 

ABTR has partnered with a very generous Scentsy representative to bring you this wonderfully unique fundraising opportunity.  Please note that this offer is valid only through our partnership with this individual Scentsy Independent Consultant.

The event begins February 1 and ends February 28, 2010.  American Boston Terrier Rescue will receive 25% of all sales, minus sales tax and shipping, from products purchased.   

The featured warmer from Scentsy is "Paws" which is shown below.   The scent of the month for February is Vanilla Suede and is available in bar, brick, car freshener, and room spray.

For the month of February, all Scentsy products are discounted 10%. The featured warmer and Vanilla Suede items are already reduced 10%.   You may view all of the Scentsy products at
https://mmittag.scentsy.us/Home.  The only items not discounted are Close-out Warmers, Campus Collection Warmers, Perfect Scentsy, Perfect Plug-Ins, Scentsy Sampler, and Double the Scentsy.

To place an order, please visit
https://mmittag.scentsy.us/Home.  Go to the section labeled "My Open Parties" and scroll down to "Boston Terrier Rescue" and select "Buy from party".  This link will take you to the Scentsy Online Catalog from which you may place your order.  The "Paws" warmer can be found in the "Monthly Specials" section by selecting the "Scent and Warmer of the Month" link.  Of course you may browse all of the exciting Scentsy products and purchase as many products as you wish. 

When ordering a warmer, our Consultant recommends that you also purchase a fragrance bar.  Each bar has 6 squares and the fragrance square will last from eight to ten hours.  The entire bar will last forty to sixty hours.

There are no shipping charges for product orders over $150.  For orders less than $150, a 10% shipping charge will be added.  Online orders totaling $150.00 or more are entitled to free merchandise and half-price items, exclusive of the February warmer and products of the month.  The website will guide you through the ordering process. 

You may pay with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express.

Remember, Scentsy products are authentic, unique, great quality and have a 100% guarantee.  Should you have any questions, there is an email link just below our Consultant's name on her webpage.

The more Scentsy products you buy during February means the more money donated to American Boston Terrier Rescue.

Let's work together to help the Bostons!

Help ABTR Fill Our Virtual Billboard!

ABTR has created a virtual billboard using GiveWithoutGiving.org.  This is a super cool new fundraising tool that allows supporters to make donations in $1 increments to help us reveal our virtual billboard image.  Donors may upload an image, provide a URL, and leave a personal message, all for as little as $1. 
 
Here's our link:
 
Please consider supporting ABTR so we may continue to help dogs with emergency medical needs like Nicky, Junebug and ZaZa.  Your support will also enable us to continue to strive toward a puppymill-free nation as we work with local officials to care for Bostons that were formerly trapped in horrendous mill situations. 
 
We can't do this without your help, and we're always looking for new and novel ways to put the FUN back in fundraising! 
See the virtual billboard below to track our progress.
 

***We do not use Sue Sternberg's Assess-A-Pet or any other extreme temperament tests on our dogs. 

 

If we employed Assess-a-Pet methods to test Boston Terriers – a breed which is usually highly stressed in a shelter environment – many of them would have been killed.  They would not be deemed worth saving and certainly not placed with loving families.  That is where rescue comes into the equation.  We take them out of the stressful shelter environment, place them into a foster home and then see how they unwind.  After a few days of adjustment, we begin to see their true temperaments while they interact with a family and other pets.  Remember - to a lost or surrendered pet, even the best shelters are full of loud noises, odd smells, strangers and fear.  For those and many other reasons, so many of our dogs would have been killed for being too timid, too food aggressive from starvation, too fear aggressive, too hyperactive, etc. and they would not have become the beloved dogs they are today.  We absolutely do not employ, nor do we recommend this type of temperament testing.
