I wanted to post this link to Charlie's story. He is a shiba puppy born with deformed hind leg and needs surgery so that he will be able to walk. The rescue is raffling off a cool handmade Japanese dish with a shiba on it.
Looks like they raised enough money for charlie so raffle is now closed good luck to anyone who wins it. I've seen like four or five different Mariko items and each one looked very well done and so cute! I want to buy some of her stuff with Saya's picture eventually.
There is another puppy in a similar situation, though, so any extra donations will still be put to good use. Check out Rue's information page here: http://shibarescue.org/listings/rue/rue.html
