From Wyoming Author Bill Sniffin:  New book features Wyoming’s favorite places – here is your chance to participate

Your area along with other places all over Wyoming will be featured prominently in a new book planned for distribution this fall.

The coffee table book  MyWyoming: Stories and Photos of 101 Fascinating Places is by Bill Sniffin.  It is the followup to the very successful book published in 2012 called Wyoming’s 7 Greatest Natural Wonders. Format for the new book will be similar to the old book including 30-plus photographers and 14 foldout photos that are 13”x30” in size.

Sniffin is soliciting stories and photos from people all over the state for inclusion in the new book. Persons should send stories about their favorite places to mystory@mywyomingbook.com or send to PO Box 900, Lander, WY 82520. Editors will try to match up the stories with beautiful photos of that area. Stories will be 150 to 500 words in length.

Persons with outstanding photos of Wyoming are encouraged to submit them, too. They will be paid for the use of their photos.

Top-notch Wyoming photographers like Dewey Vanderhoff, Woody Wooden, Randy Wagner, Dan Hayward and Scott Copeland were included in the last book and will be featured again in the new book.

The earlier book sold 14,000 copies over a 15-month period, making it one of the best-selling books in Wyoming.

The Doo House and Black Dog Animal Rescue Team Up for $1.00

Laramie/Cheyenne, WY – Southeast Wyoming’s premiere pet waste removal and pet services company has partnered with Southeast Wyoming’s premiere no kill animal shelter for just $1.00.

The Doo House – Pet Waste Removal and Pet Services has partnered with Black Dog Animal Rescue (BDAR) in hopes that everyone will donate just $1.00 in the first ever “Donate a $1.00 to the Dogs” campaign to support Black Dog Animal Rescue.

This idea is the brainchild of Matthew Blaylock, owner of The Doo House in Laramie, WY. “I believe what Black Dog Animal Rescue does is extremely important and want to support it anyway I can,” Blaylock said. “We at The Doo House try and do something for charity every year over the holidays and doing something for animals just felt natural, so I sent an email, made a phone call and poof an idea came together.”

It was natural fit for a pet waste removal and pet services company to look to dogs to raise money as they are cleaning up after them daily.  The goal of the whole fundraiser is not to break anyone’s bank; that is the reason for only asking for $1.00. If everyone that reads or hears about this donates just $1.00 it is hard to tell how much could be raised!

“When The Doo House approached us with this idea, we were really excited,” said Britney Wallesch, founder and president of Black Dog Animal Rescue. “We’re excited about the opportunity to work with a company in Laramie and host a big event there. The community has always been very welcoming and we think this will help us save a lot of dogs.”

The “Donate a $1.00 to the Dogs” fundraiser officially kicked off on October 8, 2011 but is just now getting into full swing.

You can donate to this great cause by going to www.wepay.com and searching it out or by clicking the provided link https://www.wepay.com/donate/156034?ref=widget&utm_medium=widget&utm_campaign=donation.  Learn more about Black Dog Animal Rescue at: http://www.bdar.org/.  Learn more about the Doo House in Laramie at:  http://www.thedoohouse.info/.

If you do not have access to a computer you can also mail a donation to:

The Doo House

P.O. Box 2093

Laramie, WY 82073

All checks can be made out to The Doo House just put in the memo line “Donate a $1.00 to the Dogs.”

The fundraiser will officially end December 31, 2011 but to cap it all off the Black Dog Animal Rescues with The Doo House will hold an adopt-a-thon in Laramie, WY on January 14, 2012 where a check will be presented to the Black Dog Animal rescue. More info will be released in the near future.

About the Black Dog Animal Rescue: Based in Cheyenne, WY the Black Dog Animal Rescue is a 501c non-profit no kill animal shelter that runs strictly on donations and volunteers.
