The ABE! Fund
The ABE! Fund honors the memory of ABE!, a 10 year-old Clumber Spaniel who died in 2009 of stomach cancer. ABE! was a true officer and a gentleman of the Clumber community. Nothing delighted ABE! more than lowering his massive soft head to prowl beneath bushes or bramble. Although he did not truly hunt as Clumbers were bred to do, ABE! was a great pretender.
At home, he was seldom without a squeaking stuffed “baby” in his mouth, moaning with delight when presented with a new one. His intense snoring was legendary. His posterior wiggled to almost a “U” when greeting at the door or in the park.
From the tender age of two, ABE! became a champion fund-raiser. During the Christmas holidays, guests poured into his home with needed supplies and $$$ for a different designated shelter each year. Learning of Red Lake Rosie's toward the end of his life, ABE! and his friends raised $1000 to send to Rosie's in Minnesota. This good work will now continue.
Started by friends of ABE!’s, the ABE! perpetual fund will support seasonal needs such as straw for winter bedding, special projects, and the year round need for medical supplies, especially vaccines and antibiotics.
ABE! and all his many friends are honored to be Rosie's first dedicated fund to aid in the health and well-being of the dogs at Red Lake Rosie's.
