  • New York, NY (1888PressRelease) May 18, 2013 - NY Abandoned Angels Rescue (NYAAR), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue and re-homing of dogs in need of loving forever homes, will host its ten-year anniversary auction online from May 10th through the 22nd. Shoppers can bid on a unique variety of items available in the 24/7 auction - which is being sponsored by TF Cornerstone Inc., marketing and graphic design services firm Impeckable Creations, and Long Island Browser - at www.Biddingforgood.com/AbandonedAngels.

    "When Abandoned Angels began in 2003, I never imagined that we would save over 2,500 dogs' lives," said Dolores Rodrigues, founder of NYAAR. "We currently have over 50 dogs in our rescue's care, many of whom are waiting for surgeries or specialized veterinary care, and we thought an online auction would be a great way to raise funds."

    NYAAR relies solely on donations to support its organization, whether through adoptions or the generosity of the public to help pay for the veterinary care of sick, physically disabled, and behaviorally challenged dogs. Items available in the online auction include everything from custom portraits of pets to jewelry, sports memorabilia and luxurious travel accommodations.

    "NY Abandoned Angels Rescue is an organization close to our hearts and we applaud their efforts to provide dogs in need with loving homes," said Sofia Estevez, executive vice president of TF Cornerstone, a Blue Ribbon Sponsor of the auction. "We're happy to be sponsoring this auction and to continue raising awareness of the needs of rescue animals in New York City."

    The rescue hopes to attract more than 360,000 active online shoppers from BiddingForGood plus over 3,500 NY Abandoned Angels Rescue email subscribers, 46,000+ Facebook fans, and 2,437 Twitter followers to shop for their cause.

    "We are happy to support an organization that cares so deeply about the welfare of these delightful dogs," said Jason Peck, co-founder and graphics geek of Impeckable Creations which donates graphic design services to Abandoned Angels. "Contributing to meaningful causes is important to us, and working with NYAAR brings back wonderful memories of my Cocker Spaniel Ricki."

    "As a Cocker Spaniel lover and owner, I can most assuredly make the following statement: Abandoned Angels is 'for Cocker Spaniels, of Cocker Spaniels, by Cocker Spaniel lovers,' said Edina Kinga Agoston, owner of auction sponsor Long Island Browser. "God bless them and everything that they do."
