Each year the ponies and Ammo the Dachshund<\/a> make contributions to some of their favorite Charitable Organizations. It makes us feel good to be able to support groups that care for other animals in need. Minnow himself was a past victim of neglect and I think it’s a very special thing that with the money he earns through his amazing paintings<\/a> we are able to help other animals in need.<\/p>\n

This year we selected three special organizations to donate to. The newly formed organization, The Chincoteague Pony Rescue<\/a>, is very near and dear to our hearts – who’s mission is to provide quality care and treatment of the Chincoteague ponies through intervention, education,\u00a0proper placement into forever homes and to prevent over breeding.<\/strong><\/span> We are proud to be able to support their efforts in protecting and saving this very special breed.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/p>\n

We also chose to support our local L.A.P.S.<\/a> (Large Animal Protection Society) group who’s mission is to stop cruelty to large animals in the community.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/p>\n

And lastly we decided to support the Main Line Animal Rescue<\/a>, which has helped thousands of animals find new homes while launching one of the most successful anti-puppy mill campaigns in the history of animal welfare. MLAR celebrates the special bond between companion animals and the people who love them – through rescue, adoption, education and community outreach.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s important to do our part to support the groups who dedicate so much time to helping animals in need. With our support perhaps they will be able to rescue one more animal or save one more starving pet. For more information on how to make a donation to these groups, follow these links:<\/p>\n
