Dog for Disabled - Help Save a Life - Bark for Life - Pets for Life
The Pampered Pet Owners are involved in several different
projects to help animals in need of assistance.
Support Dog Training 
Nada is an active Support Dog Trainer for dogs for the disabled.
She is currently retraining a Labrador Retriever named Izzy and
her owner Stephanie who is in a power chair. This is Izzy's first
time away from home moving from Massachusetts to the U of I
with her owner so she is just needing to acclimate to the new
situations on campus.
This is Stephanie and her support dog Izzy with Donelle, one
of Pampered Pet's groomer assistants.
Help Save a Life Campaign - Donations Needed for Animal Oxygen Masks
For a limited time this cute little collectible lunchbucket with darling images of puppies, filled
with all natural liver flavored dog treats can be yours for a $20 donation, by stopping
by the Pampered Pet business in Champaign.
The Pampered Pet is involved in a project with "Help Save a Life" to raise money to purchase oxygen masks for local fire departments. Chit Khin and Nada Cagle, co-owners of the Pampered Pet Grooming and Dog Training, Inc. are committed to helping raise at least $4,500 to be able to provide masks for all of the fire departments in Champaign County. Depending on the response they may also assist other counties, if requested. Chit is a volunteer fireman for Eastern Prairie FPD.
Pets are often more vulnerable to smoke inhalation in fires because they hide. Unfortunately human oxygen masks don't fit properly on animals and can't be used to provide them with the much needed oxygen. These little cup-shaped pet masks were originally developed for use by veterinarians and seal around the muzzle of an animal tighter than a human mask. This helps firefighters deliver the right amount of oxygen to the pet and also protects the firefighters from an injured animal who may try to bite out of fear.
The cone-shaped plastic masks, which come in three different sizes and fit snugly on snouts, can resuscitate animals suffering from smoke inhalation. This mask set is so versatile it should take care of just about any air breathing animal species from a tiny bird or reptile to a St. Bernard.
We hope that by raising money to purchase pet oxygen mask kits that we will contribute to saving pets and protecting pet owners and children that may risk their own life to try and save a pet in a fire. We also hope to save others from the heartache of losing a beloved pet and family member.
The Champaign County Humane Society has endorsed this project and is joining in to help our cause.

For a limited time, if you make a twenty dollar donation at the Pampered Pet Grooming and Dog
Training, Inc., as a token of our appreciation we will give you a darling collectible lunchbucket tin
filled with all natural liver flavored dogs treats.
UPDATE: September 6th, 2009 We have currently raised enough money to purchase the oxygen masks that we need. Additional monies collected will be forwarded on to other fire departments in need. We still have a limited supply of lunchbuckets available.
