Vote for the DDB 2008 Calendar
"Formerly-Chained-but-Now-Free-and-
Lovin'-Life" Cover Model of your Choice:

6 Choices, 6 Days to Vote, .60 Cents per Vote
Will it be Cassidy,
Chia,
Douwe, Flag, Sonny, or Taz

Welcome to our First Ever Group Vote for the "Formerly-Chained-but Now Free-and Lovin'-Life" Dogs Deserve Better 2008 Calendar Model! Each dog pictured was rescued from a chained or penned life, and is now happy, loved, and FREE to enjoy life the way dogs were meant to do...living as part of the family, with responsible and understanding caretakers.

The rules are simple: the dog with the most votes will be our 2008 Cover Model! (But don't worry...they will all find a place INSIDE the calendar.) Also, please limit your votes to 15 per person, in order to make the contest fair to all income levels...

1. Cassidy

Cassidy was one of what we called the Georgia 30 (we believe, but have lost the e-mail that went came with her beautiful pics...if you know this dog, please contact us asap at ddb@dogsdeservebetter.org so we can make sure our story is straight). While DDB has helped get many of these dogs out, there are still some there in desperate need of rescue...if you can help them, please visit this link and/or e-mail Chrissy at gtigger719@aol.com.

2. Chia

Chia Akita was rescued in Indiana by DDB reps Marie Belanger and Jamie Oswalt at the ripe old age of 10 after living chained and/or penned (both at different periods) for her entire life. She was transported to Tammy in Pennsylvania to be fostered, but there she proved to be a bit too frisky for the kitty population. Luckily, we were very blessed to find her a foster/home in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, where she is now happy and loved, and spending her last days inside as part of a family with Chris and Lexi. In fact, we hear that Chris is complaining that Chia is now getting all the lovin'!

3. Douwe

Douwe is a Pennsylvania chained rescue, working on her second calendar appearance (hey, she's photogenic, what can we say!) She is always out walking the fields with her mom, dad, and doggie brother, a far cry from her life alone, 6 months old, full of energy and straining to get off her chain!

4. Flag

Flag was a very early Pennsylvania chained rescue, found running along with his chain dragging behind him. Flag is a high-energy breed similar to a German Longhair (no wonder the chain couldn't contain him!), and because of that he has found his way back into rescue again. Now that he's five years old, he's MUCH calmer than he used to be, and is looking for a home that wants an active boy to love. He's been going for walks with Tammy's pack in the woods, and is so good he sticks right with them without a leash! He's been to basic and advanced obedience, is a very intelligent dog. If you can give Flag a home with some activity and mental stimulation as he deserves, please call us at 814.941.7447.

5. Sonny

Sonny was rescued from his chain, living under a trailer after his caretaker passed away unexpectedly...a kindly neighbor who was taking care of him and feeding him called and asked us to take him into our rescue, which we gladly did. Now he travels with his mom, dad, and doggie brothers and sisters on family vacations...we're always getting great pictures of their adventures!

6. Taz

Well, we just LOVED this picture of Taz running with his caretaker Jonas, but it didn't fit with our design style of the others, so we made up a new one! Taz was rescued from a pen in Ohio this spring after his caretaker died, and he went to live with rep Lois Rose until finding a new partner, Jonas Byrnes of PAWS Professional Pet Care. A Star is Born!
