We at Two Salty Dogs Pet Outfitters lost an incredible dog this July - Handsome Coal Dog.

We got him literally on the day we opened the shop. He was the gentlest, kindest, and most undemanding dog we'd ever had. He greeted everyone and everydog who came into our shop with enthusiasm and a wagging tail. He loved treats from the shop's free bowl, to swim and fetch, and eat blackberries from the bush. He didn't like ear medecine and would howl when he heard sirens.

In memory of Coal, Two Salty Dogs Pet Outfitters is setting up a fund to benefit The Boothbay Animal Hospital's Paws Cause.

The Paws Cause is a fund for use in times of financial emergency to assist injured animals. The Hospital matches donations collected by the fund with an equal donation of staff services. For example, if the Paws Cause collects $10 in donations, the staff donates $20 worth of services to the Paws Cause.

For the month of August, Two Salty Dogs will match your monetary donation to the Paws Cause. If you donate $10, Two Salty Dogs will donate another $10. The staff of the Boothbay Animal Hospital will then double the $20 with another $40 of services for a total of $60.

If you have been looking for a guaranteed way to sextuple your money and help a great cause, you've found it.

If you're uncomfortable buying on line, please make checks payable to "The Boothbay Animal Hospital" with the word "Coal" in the memo line. You can mail checks to our shop. We'll make sure all donations are doubled and given over to the Hospital.
