Special Donation request for Peanut Pet Shelter !

I have a "special request" for help to find someone to donate a used suburban, van, hearse OR ambulance that would be road-worthy to drive to Playa Del Carmen for Andy & Jen and the Peanut Pet Shelter ! The suburban they had died as Andy arrived back in Playa after taking Deb & I to the airport in Cancun with our NEWLY adopted puppy "Taco" from the PPS. This happened back in December of '09 and from that time forward they either have to walk or find someone that has a vehicle to transport food to the shelter everyday, peeps to the shelter on Saturdays to help with the doggie washes and most certainley a FREE ride to the airport in Cancun if you adopt a doggie or kitty from them ! Could you imagine having to carry 50lb bags of dog food some 2-3 miles to the shelter everyday ??

Our love for Andy & Jen and the work they are doing to help save the mis-treated, abandoned, brutally beatin' dogs by their owners is the reason why I am asking for help from you or someone you know to help me in this quest to make life easier for two people who do so much and never ask for anything in return for themselves ! They think of their animals FIRST and themselves LAST !

You go to relax, enjoy the beach and the sites and get away from all the stress of your normal everday routine just as we do. You would never think that in this beautiful paradise there would be people who mis-treat animals they way they do and we've all seen the pictures ! Please click on this link ( if you have'nt already ) and roam around and be sure to read the story of "Peanut" and the beginning of "Peanut Pet Shelter" !

Peanut Pet Shelter - Playa del Carmen

This is a strange and i suppose a very unusual request that i'm asking but then again, I'm a strange and unusual character Please help me in my quest for Andy & Jen, I am going to drive the vehicle down to Playa Del Carmen once we find that generous person(s) who can help !

This donation is TAX DEDUCTABLE !!!!

PM me for any addition info you may need !

May GOD BLESS Andy & Jen for all they do !

DUCK
You are wonderful for coordinating this!!!

Let me know if you'd consider a 93 old school luxury buick. Its a big car, but I don't think it would be feasible for the shelter, but I'd luv to get it out of my driveway since it just sits there. Scott has some attachment issues with it!

Thanks Beth & Scott and Eric !

I dunno Beth....if you have a pic you could send me, we could see what Andy says ! I have no idea what one looks like but PM me with it and i'll send it off to Andy and see if it would work ! Thank You so much for considering ...tell Scott he could go and see it anytime he would like ! Andy & Jen made need something that has a bed in it though, to haul lumber or building materials ...stuff like that i dunno ????

Yeah, I was thinking they need something more rugged for hauling. Im not sure if a hoop-dee would be a good match! I'll talk to Scott and PM you.

Holy shit!

That'd be something to see! You and Duck driving to Playa?!!! We'd HAVE to outfit the vehicle with cameras and record it all...might be able to sell the footage and finance the Peanut Shelter for the next decade!!!

Could I come with and serve as camera man?
