Help make our 13th
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

Come to the auction! Support the Joey Fund! Our goal
this year is 200 attendees
*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.
