SPECIAL GIFT FOR OUR GOLDIE DONORS

We appreciate each & every one of our donors who have bonded together to help Goldie on her road to recovery. This story has crossed all national & international borders, making us one huge Airedale Family as we share Goldie's story.

An Airedaler from Florida has gifted us with a very special tribute to Goldie. It is a DVD that shares the highlights of Goldie's story from her days alone in the mountains through her rescue by ATRA, incorporating many of the photos from our website to illustrate her journey. Imagine having this treasure to be able to relive Goldie's fantastic Airedale strength & spirit and to share this story for years to come.

We are excited to announce that a free DVD will be sent to those who have made a total donation of $50 USD or more to Goldie's fundraiser, or who have contributed a special gift or special service to this fundraiser.

Those eligible donors do not have to do anything but wait for their gift to arrive in the mail. We expect this mailing for qualifying donors to take place in early December. We will continue to mail DVD's for future qualifying donations until they are gone.

PLEASE NOTE: If you have already made a donation and wish to bring it up to an amount that will receive a DVD, please feel free to do so.

For any additional questions you may have, please contact Sally HERE.

This DVD was created & produced in memory of Max Jensen.
