The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, the bassets are drooling—so it’s time for HOP’s Spring Raffle!

House of Puddles is a retirement home for old bassets in Frederick, Maryland. Last year, HOP provided a loving home for 22 senior and special needs basset hounds who had no place else to go. But, senior bassets need a lot! Food, treats, beds, toys, and most of all, vet care. And this costs a bunch. HOP is a 501©(3) nonprofit organization and one of the major ways they raise funds to help needy bassets is through raffles.

There are a lot of great raffle prizes that you won’t want to miss! Great basset crap, a basset quilt, original art, and my personal favorite, a brand-new handheld Dyson Root 6 vacuum! (That’s what *I* want to win!!!!)

Tickets are $1 each, or if you buy 25 you get 5 free! You can even buy tickets through Paypal. The raffle ends Friday, 4/18 so buy early, buy often!! You won’t want to miss this one!!!

Or, if raffles aren’t your thing or if you have to count every kibble right now, check out Basset Hound Town’s special fundraiser for HOP, the Gold Rush: http://www.bassethoundtown.com/blog/news/

Clean out your jewelry box and send your single earrings, broken chains or that really ugly pin your Aunt Ruth left you to Basset Hound Town! They will take it to a jeweler to get top dollar then donate 100% of what they got for what you sent straight to HOP!

HOP has its own YouTube Channel! Check it out!! http://www.youtube.com/mbrazzle

House of Puddles is one of my favorite organizations- I think Marilyn Brazzle is a saint for the work she does these these old unwanted hounds.

If you haven't visited her web site, take a look- she's posted profiles of all her hounds, and some of them are really funny-
