available here @ Black Dog Salvage!

The 2010 Pet Calendar is available now and is the best one yet! More than 200 photos of local pets grace the pages, along with famous quotations so appropriate you will think that they were custom made. The pet calendar is an entertaining read, as well as being a fully functional engagement calendar. Plenty of space for recording appointments, birthdays, anniversaries or other important dates.

The Pet Calendar is a major fundraiser for the RVSPCA, providing the funds necessary for food, shelter, medical care and TLC for the thousands of homeless and unwanted animals who call our shelter "home" while they wait for a new family to find them.

New low price of just $20 makes the 2010 Pet Calendar the perfect holiday gift for everyone on your list...and for yourself.
