Like seafood (or any and all other types of exceptional food)? Love dogs? Want to make a big contribution toward saving more innocent lives?

Here's the easiest way to save another sweet mutt's life. Support the Summer Seafood Celebration that Joe's Crab Shack is hosting for Mutt Love Rescue on Sunday, June 9. Buckets of crabs – Yum! Everything is ready. All we need is YOU.

The party runs from 4 to 7, and we need you to commit to being there. We need you to put it on your calendar NOW so you don't forget. And we need you to bring as many friends as you can. The bigger the crowd, the more money for Mutts. And the more fun for all.

How easy! How delicious!! And what a GREAT AUCTION!!!

Thanks to the work of our supporters, we now have a splendid array of auction items and colorful summer tee shirts that you will love!!! What we need now is people – lots of people. Everybody has to eat, right?

So here’s a little enticement. Email Rita O’Connor at finder912@earthlink.net to let her know how many people you will be bringing (put SAVE A LIFE - WIN A PRIZE! in the subject line). The first five people who respond will get a voucher for a free appetizer at Joe’s Crab Shack. It will be waiting for you when you check in. The next ten people will get a different perk, but equally nice. It’s our way of thanking you for planning ahead to make the first annual Mutts Summer Seafood Celebration a huge success.

Please print out and post widely the attached flyer to get our first annual Joe's Crab Shack summer fund-raising feast off to a terrific start. And while you're at it, have a look at just some of the pups pictured on the border that we, with your help, have saved recently. As the flyer indicates, all silent auction and tee shirt sales proceeds and a generous portion of your food and beverage proceeds will go directly to help our mutts.

See you there!
