The recipient of our bracelet sales for October goes to Greyhound Adoption League (GAL) in Tucson, Ariz.
Tucson has a dog racing track so there is always a dire need for retired racing greyhounds to find good homes. GAL has been busy helping Tucson greyhounds be hauled to Calif. and the NW which has no greyhound racing.
Lizzie Mead got her first two greyhounds from GAL – Lace was found in dumpster but fortunately, spoiled to the age of 15, when she died. Whiskey died at 7 of neurological disorder.
You can find an assortment of one-of-a-kind beaded bracelets at:
–Silver Sea Jewelry & Gifts – 340 N. 4th Avenue, in Tucson – (520) 624-9954
–Desert Rose Homeopathic Pharmacy – 2550 E. Ft. Lowell Road in Tucson
–online at Lizzies Stardust (etsy.com)
Bracelets are one-of-a-kind made with donated beads, one size fits almost all, easy on and off, bracelets cost $20/each + $3 shipping for online sales.
To donate beads or host an event where the Beading Divas to the Rescue can sell these bracelets for our designated cause — please contact karynzoldan@yahoo.com Put the word “bracelets” in the subject line. Thank you.
Tucson:Greyhound Mix Rescued-Buy a Bracelet 2009/09/02

I saw there was a greyhound mix sitting on death row at the Pima Animal Care Center (PACC). I contacted Arizona Greyhound Rescue (AGR) and asked if they would take this dog. My promise was that the Beading Divas would sell 25 bracelets ($500) and donate the money to AGR for the care of this petite greyhound mix.
Charm: greyhound mix rescued from PACC
AGR complied.
I dubbed the dog “Charm” because our one-of-a-kind beaded bracelets come with either a sterling silver greyhound charm or a paw print charm.
Charm has the greyhound physique and face but is smaller than a greyhound. She was confiscated from her previous residence because of abuse. Charm was literally three hours away from being euthanized. Maybe her nickname should be “Lucky Charm.”
Charm is in foster care with my sister and she will be fattened up because now she is a bag of bones. She seems tolerant of all kinds of animals and is not a cat-chaser. She loves stuffies and is already playing with toys and with the other dogs. Charm really likes children and is an all around great girl.
Charm is saved. She is one lucky dog.

More Tucson Greyhound Bracelets are coming SOON.
We will post another message when they go online for sale. As you may know, we raised a lot of money for the vet bills by selling one-of-a-kind beaded bracelets + receiving donations.
We had so much fun making the bracelets that we formed Beading Divas to the Rescue. We continue to raise money for animals in need. The bracelets have been very popular, and we are in the process of creating more.
The bracelets are expected to be for sale online by August 19 at our new Etsy.com (TBA).
Bracelets cost $20 each; one size fits most, and they feature a sterling silver greyhound or paw fob. Beads are strung on memory wire which coils and uncoils easily, so putting on the bracelet is a breeze.
As of June 20, 2009, sales from the next 75 bracelets ($1,500) will be donated to Greyhounds2Go to help badly injured dogs coming from the Tucson Greyhound Park. (So far we have raised $945 for G2G.)
If you’re local to Tucson, you can buy the one-of-a-kind beaded bracelets at Silver Sea Jewelry & Gifts, 330 N. 4th Avenue.; 624-9954. Our Beading Divas to the Rescue motto: “Saving animals one bracelet at a time.”
Money raised goes directly to the causes we support. You are even encouraged while at Silver Sea Jewelry to make your check payable to the charity du jour. Bracelets will soon be at two other local Tucson locations (TBA).
Thank you for your patience and the desire to purchase these bracelets made with donated beads and heart. To donate beads, contact karynzoldan AT yahoo.com

Buy bracelets to save injured greyhounds from the Tucson dog track that otherwise might be euthanized .
Coco fell while being schooled for greyhound racing at 18 months. She broke her pelvis on both sides. The vet gave her a 50/50 chance to walk again. Greyhounds2Go decided to give her the chance to heal.
Coco had to be helped outside to go to the bathroom. A month later the pelvis is still broken but Coco is healing slowly. She still needs more healing time before being spayed. Coco has received physical therapy and pain meds. Two months later Coco continues to improve and is gaining weight and getting her strength back. When she is well enough she will be spayed.
Buy a bracelet or donate directly to Greyhounds2Go. Thank you

This blog was created to raise money to pay greyhounds Opal and Rider’s $14,300 vet bill. The funds came through online donations, the greyhound and dog-loving community both in Tucson and across the globe. And through the sale of beautiful bracelets –mission accomplished!
Then we donated $1,164 to the Guam Greyhound Project through more donations and bracelet sales.
Then through the sale of bracelets only, we raised $1,165 for Arizona Greyhound Rescue, here in Tucson.
Since we have more beads and the desire to continue…we have decided to give ourselves a name — Beading Divas to the Rescue — and continue making bracelets for worthy causes.
Our next cause is Greyhound Support in Kansas. The money from the next 25 bracelets that we sell ($500) will go towards getting 5 senior greyhounds on a bus (or hauling vehicle) which will deliver them to adoption groups.
For now you can buy bracelets in Tucson ($20/each) at Silver Sea Jewelry & Gifts, 330 N. 4th Avenue, 624-9954. Or visit our Etsy store, LizzieStardust, which will have a good assortment of bracelets after Memorial Day.
We are: Diva Angy, Diva Cynthia, Diva Glenda, Diva Michelle, Diva Loren, and Diva Karyn
