<DIV>Basset Rescue of Florida is raising money to help Ruthie, who was recently returned to rescue due to the development of glaucoma. We are in desperate need of funds to care for her. Ruthie was used by a back yard breeder to make lots of money and then dumped. This sweet girl certainly has not had an easy time of it and this latest set of events just about takes the cake.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A generous couple, Jacky and Michael Pompanio, has donated a charming Marc Tetro print of a basset which has been professionally framed. Pictures can be seen here ( I hope):</DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000>These pictures don't do the print justice - he really captures the basset spirit. Virtual raffle tickets are $1.00 each, 8 for $5.00, 20 for $10.00 and 50 for $20.00. This is a very short raffle - the drawing will be held in 2 weeks (January 10th). </FONT></DIV>
