Remember Loved Ones with a Black Pearl Gift

Your gift helps to bring attention to the Black Pearl Dogs and Cats of the APL

It’s that time again when the APL invites our supporters to participate in our holiday sponsorship program. Once again we are calling attention to our Black Pearls—those beautiful, lovable black dogs and cats who end up in shelters across the country in disproportionate numbers and who are statistically more likely to be euthanized than their counterparts.

By giving Black Pearl Gifts this holiday season, you can honor a loved one, bring attention to the plight of these precious animals, and support the mission of the APL—all at once!

For a donation of $50 or more, we will send your honoree one of these three gifts:

• A card announcing that your gift in the special person's honor or memory will be used to help spay or neuter a Black Pearl cat or dog in 2011.
• A two-toned cotton tote bag with the Black Pearl logo on both sides.
• A black lap blanket with the Black Pearl logo embroidered in one corner.

All three gifts will include a letter explaining the Black Pearl program and a picture collage of many of our APL black pearls.

To honor or memorialize someone, fill out the sponsorship form and mail it in along with your donation to the APL, PO Box 5354, Columbia, SC 29250. This is a year-round fundraiser.

APL Magnetic Book Marks

With the APL logo on one side and cute caricatures of cats and dogs on the other, these bookmarks are a great gift idea for anyone! Just $3 each, they are strong enough to use ase large paper clips!

A Charming Gift Idea

Your purchase of these sterling silver charms will help the APL and ASPCA

The good folks at Roof Jewelers at 6829 Two Notch Road have always been big APL supporters. Now they have teamed up with a national campaign to sell sterling silver charms to benefit both the APL and the ASPCA.

Each sterling silver Dog Lover, Cat Lover, or Protect Our Pets charm is approximately the size of a nickel (see larger view). It would make a great addition to a charm bracelet or could be worn on a chain as a necklace.

Here is the best part: when you purchase these charms for just $30 each, $10 of the purchase price goes to support the APL and another portion goes to support the ASPCA in its national efforts to prevent cruelty to animals.

One of these charms would make a perfect gift for all the special women you'd like to honor.

Call Roof Jewelers at 803-788-2644 to find out more about these charms. Stop by the store today to buy one for all the special animal lovers in your life. You can visit Roof Jewelers online at RoofJewelers.com.
