From The New York Shitty Inbox: Last Saturdays of Summer

Hi Heather,
We have not had the pleasure of meeting, but I do hope we get the chance soon. I am the consulting coordinator for the newly revitalized Greenpoint Business Association and we have launched our first marketing campaign for Greenpoint local businesses who are members. The about section on the web site / blog can fill you in on the details of what the members receive and how they support the community.
It would be great if you can highlight Last Saturdays of Summer and the shopping campaign. Shoppers pick up a shopping Passport each Last Saturday at designated locations – for June 26th it is t.b.d, Black Rabbit and Matchless and then they shop, drink and or dine at a minimum of 6 of the participating businesses and are eligible for a 4:00 raffle back at any of the 3 bars they picked up their passports at. Prizes are from the GBA members and other supporting outside businesses…
You can get the full lowdown on Last Saturdays of Summer, including a roster of participating businesses, by pointing and clicking your way over to the Greenpoint Business Association’s web site. Check it out!

Adoptable Cuties: Meet Stella & Chewy
When I saw the lovely photos Jay posted of these absolutely adorable Chihuahua/Yorkie mixes Dog Habitat recently rescued from a kill shelter I simply had to make their acquaintance. I am pleased to report that this not only came to pass earlier today— but Stella and Chewy are even more adorable in person! As you will see in the following video where Jay shares with us their story. Enjoy!
Chewy and Stella may be pint-sized pups— but they have a big dog appetite!
Anyone interested in giving either of these cuties the loving home they so richly deserve should contact Dog Habitat via telephone at (347) 601-8678 or via email at: rescue (at) doghabitat (dot) org.
Thanks!

Dog Habitat Rescue is so proud to join with 31 other animal charities nationwide to help launch New York Times bestselling author W. Bruce Cameron’s book A Dog’s Purpose: A Novel for Humans. Because of the generosity of legendary independent booksellers all over the USA like our very own Word, each of these 31 charities will be getting a full 10% of the cover price for this book which is expected to be a big best seller, and is getting rave reviews from critics and animal advocates everywhere. Just in this past week, these are the reviews that have come in.
“I loved this book and could not put it down.” –Temple Grandin, New York Times bestselling author Animals Make Us Human
“Marley and Me combined with Tuesdays With Morrie” –Kirkus Reviews
As great as the book is, we at Dog Habitat Rescue are even more proud to join with so many amazing animal advocates in this unique nationwide fundraiser. Among us people training guide and companion dogs, caring for retired K9 officers (yes, the dogs are called officers!) rescuing abandoned and abused animals, providing essential spaying and neutering services, helping financially troubled families obtain pet food in these tough times, providing pet bereavement counseling, and much more.
We hope that you will consider pre-ordering this book today to benefit Dog Habitat Rescue, which you can so easily do by phone (718-383-0096) or by using the store’s web site or, of course, by visiting the independent bookseller at:

If you order today, you can also help us do our work, for no extra cost to you.
It’s a great book, from a great bookstore, for a great cause. We’re proud to be part of it.
