Sandy Zimmer Raises Holiday Dough to Help Project POOCH

SANDY ZIMMER created special doggie doughart ornaments and sold them at PETCO ($10 each) as a holiday "dough-raiser" to benefit Project POOCH. She also supplied the youths with ornaments to sell to kennel visitors and MacLaren staff.

Doughart is more than a hobby for Sandy. She has been making Christmas ornaments for over 29 years and her designs have been featured in craft magazines. You can see more of her doughart decorations on her web site at
