[Gpdd] RESCUE: nomination for calendar donations

[Ann Sadoian]

hi everyone!
I have ordered the calendar for the last two years. I really enjoy seeing the cute piggies in front of me when I am on my computer, and putting faces to names. If anyone is still considering, I'm sure you would enjoy the calendar! =)
I would like to nominate The Critter Connection/Durham, CT/USA. Both Joanne and I got our piggies from Cindy, who is head honcho at the rescue. Actually, I only have one piggy left now who was my friend's, as my five from The Critter Connection have passed on. Cindy does a wonderful job caring for the needs of the piggies, many of whom require veterinary attention when they come to her, and some of whom stay for their entire lives as sanctuary piggies. I believe at this point she has mainly senior/special needs piggies staying with her as sanctuary pigs. Her roof caved in two years ago when we had a winter of unusually heavy snow (I believe it was that winter), and she has not been able to take in as many piggies since. Lately, because of a lack of funding, she has been using her site to advertise for people who are looking for a new home for their piggy/piggies, but the pigs stay with their owners until adopted. Cindy is very conscientious about placing
 piggies into good homes. I am including a link to their website, and from there you can visit their blog as well. You may need to cut and paste into your browser, as it doesn't appear to be a live link, at least on my end.

I sincerely hope that folks would consider giving The Critter Connection your vote. Cindy's rescue is small and has struggled to survive in tough economic times. She and her vice president, Whitney, remain very dedicated to the animals in their charge and their "mission," despite discouragement at times. I give them my highest recommendation.
