Please critique my letter asking for sponsorship of an animal chairty!

0 Dear Local Business, 02br
02br
00Please help the *** find homes for ***’s down-and-out dogs and cats by sponsoring a shelter animal in the *** Daily Liberal. Each month we will feature a page of animals in need of good homes and we are looking to secure financial support to run this program. 02br
02br
00The *** is Australia's pre-eminent animal welfare organization and a non-government, not-for-profit, community based charity. We depend heavily on public donations. 02br
02br
00In the past 8 weeks alone over 260 animals have walked through the gates of the *** *** Shelter. With your business’ support we’d like to see 260 walk back out and into loving homes! 02br
02br
00By pledging your financial support your business will directly assist in rehoming local dogs and cats that may otherwise face an uncertain future. 02br
02br
00Yours faithfully, 02br
02br
