Has anyone come across this? Maria Daines donates her CDs to small rescue organisations who operate a no-kill policy. The rescue organisation then sells the CDs to their members/supporters to raise funds. The following is taken from her website concerning her album "Shelter Me":

This collection of songs, released to help homeless and neglected animals, is dedicated to the memory of precious Regina. Regina was a nervous homeless dog who had been taken in by kind volunteers at a shelter in Spain. Sadly one night the shelter was vandalised and Regina was too petrified to run away. She was tortured to death. Regina deserves justice and all animals in shelters should be safe and far from harm.

We would like this CD to represent a global effort of care and compassion towards those defenceless dogs, who, through no fault of their own, find themselves abandoned and at the mercy of human kind, for better or for worse.

Some songs on this CD are inspired by case histories of cruelty, others are memorial tributes to pets passed over the rainbow bridge and some were written to highlight the suffering of man's best friend.

Your support is literally a lifeline to the animals that depend on human beings to help them stay alive. When the CD's arrive at small shelters they will be used by volunteers to raise funds. The CD's are sent free of charge and rescue organisations sell them and keep the funds to feed and care for their animals.

The second track "Racing to Death" is about greyhounds. Link to it on you Tube:



I see quite a few greyhound rescue groups have received this CD to sell as have others in Spain & US.



Is this something SGS would be interested in doing? I, for one, would like a copy of this CD . It is beautiful and, yes, the songs are tearjerking. If I can buy this from SGS then SGS will benefit directly. Does anyone else want a copy?
