Hi Jane, I purchased not every dog has his day at the fundraiser for Pets Haven. I would also like to purchase - They shoot horses don't they? Thank you so much for making people aware of the reality of how some of our beloved animals are treated. I'm not one for putting my head in the sand and it is with people like you who may one day make a change for the better. THANKYOU SO MUCH! Sandy Mitchell 02/10/09
