Bothwell Cheese Fundraiser - HELP US HELP BJ!!

To place an order or contact Patty at 204-782-7119

Deadline is November 2, 8:00 pm

BJ is a 4 year old Maltese who came to us this year from a back yard breeder where he was used for breeding. He had a rotten mouth and required an extensive dental cleaning and extractions. We had him neutered, up to date on shots and heart worm/lime tested. 

He has cataracts in both eyes and is blind. The eye specialist from Saskatoon saw him a few weeks ago and said he was a candidate for cataract surgery. 

This is an expensive surgery and we are currently working on fundraising for his surgery. 

If you LOVE cheese, buy some from our fundraiser and help BJ get his sight back!

If you work in an office and can help us generate more cheese sales by asking friends, co-workers and family, please contact Patty for an order sheet.....THANKS!!!
