We'd like to change gears for this week's blog to talk about something that is near and dear to our hearts.

Superstorm Sandy left terrible devastation across the northeastern seaboard and has caused billions of dollars in damages. Dozens have died and hundreds are displaces and homeless. We hope it goes without saying that our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone that this storm has touched.

There are a number of relief organizations answering the call and providing relief in the form of food, shelter, and counseling. Country Brook Design is proud of every one of these responders as they help clean up and bring a sense of peace and comfort to our fellow countrymen.

Humans are not the only loved ones affected by Sandy's wrath. Many beloved cats and dogs are also now without a home, food, and a family to love them.

Country Brook Design would like to do our own small part to help these family pets, so we've partnered with a wonderful local organization called Bobbi and the Strays. They have done a magnificent job of helping reunite pets with their families who have been separated in the storm's wake. In addition, they are sheltering stray pets who need a furever home.

In an effort to help Bobbi and the Strays in their mission, we've decided to donate 50 free collars. However we don't want to stop there! Use our coupon code SANDYSTRAYS on any order of 10 or more collars or leashes that are being shipped to Bobbi and the Strays. For every 10 collars you donate, we'll donate 1 free leash. For every 10 leashes you donate, we'll donate 1 free collar. Send your donations to:

Bobbi and the Strays

Together we can make a difference for these displaced pets at a time when they and their families are desperate to be reunited with one another. Will you join us in helping them?
