Half-Naked Firefighters

The title got your attention, did it?  -grin-  I bet!  

Aw...I'll tell you about the half-naked firefighters, but first some background:

Those of you who know me, know that I LOVE dogs.  Actually, I love all animals, but I especially love dogs.  That is why I feel the need to share today's information with you, my friends.  To help save the lives of many dogs (cats, birds, horses, etc. etc. etc.) here in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.

Back in 2013 there was a little abandoned dog named Toby.  Toby was surrendered to Charleston Animal Society twice.  The second time someone had poured hot water or acid on him leaving him severely burned.  Instead of putting him to sleep, the fantastic folks at Charleston Animal Society decided to save him. 

You can read Toby's story HERE.

Toby's rescue inspired "No Kill Charleston" an all-out effort to save every healthy and treatable animal that ended up with Charleston Animal Society.  This is how Charleston County became the first community in the Southeast to become "No Kill."

"How do they do it?" you ask.  "Isn't it expensive?" you ask.

Very expensive and they do it with fundraising and donations from people just like me.  People just like you. 

They created Toby's Fund, Charleston Animal Society’s Medical Fund.

The biggest fundraiser they have is their annual Charleston Firefighter Calendar.  Charleston Animal Society first teamed up with local firefighters to do a fundraiser calendar for Toby's fund back in 2014.  The calendars have been wildly successful, and many animal lives have been saved because of it. 

The 2017 Charleston Firefighter Calendars go on sale TODAY,  July 15, 2017!  To pre-order yours or to stock up (They make GREAT Christmas gifts!) click HERE.

If you don't particularly like half-naked firefighters or you just don't want another calendar, they will also take donations at that link. 

Adopt if you can.  Donate or volunteer if you can. Spread the word if nothing else.  Be a hero. Save a life.
