Re: OT-Fundraising

Good idea Kitty! I was trying to think of something with the word Boxer in
it that would be a good company to contact!
Thanks!

Zem, SC does not have a veterinary college. The closest good one is Athens
GA, (UGA)

I will ask around and see if students ever come here. I can also probably
see if my vet has any good contacts.
THanks!
