To Everyone,

I just called Purina to verify whether or not Canadian Weight Circles count in the USA.
I was informed that they are accepted.
So everyone in Canada "Start Collecting" along with us in the USA


WE NEED YOUR PURINA WEIGHT CIRCLES!


You could win this brand new, handmade, collar & leash set!!!

If Second Chance Dobes can turn in enough weight circles, Purina will send a check to our veterinarian. 100% of the money goes directly toward our medical bills. All of the dogs that come into the rescue must be vetted. Therefore, medical is one of our highest expences. But, YOU CAN HELP!

It's Simple!

Most Purina brand products have a weight circle on the package. Products like; Dog Chow, Puppy Chow, Pro Plan, Pro One, Cat Chow, and so many others.
The circle states the product name and weight. The more your product weighs, the better! SAVE THE CIRCLES THEN TOTAL THE WEIGHT. You can mail them all at once or individual, we can keep track for you.

IF YOU SAVE THE MOST TOTAL WEIGHT YOU WILL BE THE LUCKY WINNER!

Tell everyone you know to start saving now!
Contest ends September 28, 2005.

All entries must be recieved by September 28, 2005. Send circles, total weight amount,
name, address, phone number, and e-mail address to:
Cathy Gray
14013 Iyopawa Island
Coldwater, MI 49036

The winner will be notifed and agrees to have their name published by Second Chance Dobes as the winner.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.



The finished the leash and collar set that will be the prize for the next weight circle contest. The winner can have their choice of the following designs:

Both collars and leashes are adjustable in length and are all 1" wide. The pink collar adjusts from 14" to 22". The red collar adjusts from 15" to 23". Both leashes adjust from 6' 10" to 4'.

Please note: The colors in the photos aren't 100% accurate. Both sets are really bright in color...the pink has bright shades ranging from dark pink to a light pink with grey-blue Hibiscus flowers. The red set is a vibrant red (not orange-red as shown in the photos) and yellow with dark green-blue accents.


THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Does anyone know if there is a weight circle or something else for the canned food or doesn't that count?

Kelly

[Cathy]

The canned does not count I don't know why???

Sorry, it took so long for a response ..... I am trying to get around to read everything.....?



Cathy

[KellyB]

Not a problem, I had a coupon for the canned stuff and got it as a treat for Myles. Thanks for letting me know, I thought I was overlooking the weight circle on the canned.

Kelly

We actually got enough last time to pay $500 on the ole vet bill. They add up and they only require a rip and a tear. I can spot them on the garbage going down the road. It's fed a lot of dogs since 1970 and paid a lot of vet bills since 2000.

I've got two 20# one 40# and I have to find two more 20's I hope that helps some.

I check garbage while we're on walks ... There's not usually many ... but sometimes I get lucky.

[KellyB]

Here it has to be tied up in a bag or they wont take it.

Cathy,

I sent off my trash-diving finds today. Hopefully you'll get them soon!

I'll be sending mine soon. Contest ends Sept 28th right so I have a few weeks left to get more circles. Myles would look super in that red collar and leash. More of a manly man set for my husband to use when walks him.

[Cathy]

Yeap, Sept 28th. Save away!

Last contest I asked people I worked with to save and they did! Helped a bunch!

Good Luck to all!

I got shot down asking if we could do a "School Wide" program. Administration couldn't give me reason why not that I felt was acceptable ...

My mom is going to try to get it going at her school though...

[Jennymay]

I'm going to ask my friend who is a teacher in Windsor if she can do it in her class/school. I think she has a good rapore with everyone there, (NOT meaning you don't, Stef, don't take it that way) but I don't think they're so strict.
I'm also going to ask around work. See if anyone by chance buys Purina products, and see if anyone would be willing to bring them in for me.
Ok, Ciao!

I have a letter if anyone would like it to distribute. It has a picture of what the weight circles look like and which products have them. It briefly explains what they're used for.

Let me know if you'd like a copy.

[KellyB]

The Majority of my work orders their food through the clinic. I forget what brand but its not Purina. It works out to cost about the same as Pro Plan so I'm just sticking with that so I can save the weight circles.

Kelly

[Jennymay]

Stef, can you please email me the letter? I'd really appreciate it. Then I can print it off at my MUMMY'S house!

I'll send you my email addy in a pm....not that I care if anyone in HERE sees it, just you NEVER know who's roaming cyberspace..
