Welcome to the Sleeper Cartel
Sleeper Cartel is a World of Warcraft alliance guild that is dedicated to helping each other out. We are located on the Perenolde realm and currently have 119 members.
Here's some other things happening for SC lately...Summer 2010 Fundraiser: NSC Rescue From our very own Foxtrot:
For the summer 2010 Charity I propose that we support NSC Rescue. NSC is a local Denver based animal rescue. They frequently pick up animals with literally hours left to live from the local kill shelters. They then foster these animals, cover spaying/neutering, vaccinations and tagging. Each adoption also includes mandatory training for owner and animal to provide the best possible chance of success.
NSC is where I adopted my little BT Mugsy from (right).
NSC is small, they work very hard and have an amazing staff. Georgia the VP was fostering 5 animals a few weeks ago in addition to her own crew of 5. That is dedication and a lot of hard work.
Thanks for considering

A little bit about NSC
NSC started as a response to the unfulfilled need for professional assistance during the dog adoption process. While numerous people are willing to adopt shelter animals - many times the combination of untrained dogs and unknowledgeable owners leads to returned or unwanted pets. By giving the dogs structured training before, during and after home placement - their chances of success more than quadruples.
Our founder - Gina Biernat - has over seventeen years in the animal behavioral business. She owns and operates Clearwater Dog Training - a facility that promotes educated owners and educated pets. With this background, NSC was destiny in the making. Gina has had years of exposure to the problems that ultimately fail dogs - and after the passing of her beloved German Shepherd Keno - she felt it was time to act.
"Keno touched so many - I just wanted to help people find forever friends like him. These dogs have it in them - they just need the right second chance."
In the early part of 2006, NSC received its 501(c)(3). We are working towards upgrading our current facility to include a fenced dog run so that the animals can have time outside off of the leash in a secure environment. Long term - we hope to have the funds to build or buy headquarters that would allow for an even greater number of rescued animals.
At NSC - we try every day to provide the necessary tools for our shelter dogs to lead positive, well mannered lives in the homes they find themselves in. While all of our dogs are a work in progress - they are more likely to be successful in that endeavor with our help.
Please consider our organization if you or someone you know is looking for a forever friend.
Integration Training
The training process begins with our professional trainers evaluating the animal. We gather as much information on the dog by observation, interviews with past owners/shelter staff, and by trying out a few behavioral commands. Next we work out a strategy to achieve main objectives for each canine: overcoming separation anxiety, discouraging dog aggression, basic manners, etc. Each plan of action includes determining where the dog would best be served as far as living situation. If foster families are available (and are thought to be appropriate) we will arrange for them to work on their behavior while in a home environment. Some dogs need the consistency of living at the training facility to overcome initial problem behavior.
Those animals that live at the facility receive thorough behavioral modification from the trainers and from volunteers during their everyday care. Dogs learn to walk on a leash properly, to submit to human intervention, to refrain from problem behavior (such as jumping), and know the basics like ‘come’, ‘sit’, and ‘down’. Animals that have separation anxiety or aggression are given more professional attention to help with these behaviors. When possible, our dogs are exposed to small animals and children to determine if they would be suitable for living in such an environment. They are also evaluated for their reactions to other dogs, both as living companions and in public situations.
How can you help?
Sleeper Cartel is filled with animal lovers (just look at how many hunters and druids we have!), so this has to be a perfect charity for us to sponsor. I thank Foxtrot for coming up with this charity, and if you like pets of any shape, size, or level of furriness, I urge you to make a contribution (of whatever size) by clicking on the PayPal link below.
Sleeper Cartel members can do amazing things in-game, but as history has shown, we can do some amazing things in the Real World too. We will continue taking donations for NSC Rescue through Labor Day Weekend ( Monday, September 6, 2010). Sleeper Cartel Downs...C'Thun?!? LOLWhut? Shut up. It was an achievement...and we had fun.
Grats to all. :) Sleeper Cartel wins WoW.com's Guild of the Month for November 2009 We're finally good and ready to announce the winner of last month's Guild of the Month contest, and as you probably saw in the headline above, Sleeper Cartel of the Perenolde server is walking away with the prize: A $100 gift code from SwagDog. This is a guild that almost needs no introduction, considering they've made previous appearances here on WoW.com. I'll let Sleeper Cartel do the talking behind the cut below.
Before that, I want to remind everyone that December's Guild of the Month contest is still ongoing, and you still have time to enter. Make sure you check out the original posting, as well as the official rules. If you've entered previously and weren't chosen, don't get discouraged. Competition is fierce and ever changing.
Take it away, Sleeper Cartel!Sleeper Cartel Christmas Charity 2009: One Meal...SUCCESS!Thank you one and all who donated to this cause this year. I just now sent out the following to One Meal. I'm sure they'll be able to put it good use with Christmas this weekend.
Awesome job from an awesome guild!
 Sleeper Cartel Christmas Charity 2009: One MealThe other day, I found this article on Fark.com. Something about it touched me. A young girl taking the initiative to see a need and then having the drive to do what little she could to take care of it. Watching her family rally around her in support to feed so many who are in need in their community, and seeing that they're 100% donation driven made me realize that there's something Our Family can do to help them.
Our charity for this holiday season will be One Meal of Mobile, AL. I've set up a PayPal link for every Sleeper (or non-Sleeper, as I'm not making this a guild-only post) to donate to below. On Monday, December 21, whatever donations we have, I will deposit into One Meal's PayPal system on behalf of Sleeper Cartel. One Sunday meal provided costs around $150. While the 21st is just three short weeks away, I've seen wonders from his guild over the years, and when we put our mind and hearts to something, we can achieve great things.
I thank you in advance for whatever you can do to help this charity.
It's a Dead Man's Party - October 24, 2009
Arthas still makes you wait . . .
Ulduar...eh, it'll reset in a week. Wash, rinse, repeat.
The Call of the Crusade? You've answered it so many times you let it go to voice mail
Killing Onyxia? Nice loot, but it's not as much fun as doing it five man . . . and naked
Are you looking for something different to do on a Saturday night?
On October 24th, 2009, the dead will rise up again in the lands of the Scarlet Enclave
This time though, they're not here to destroy life . . .
They're just here to have a good time.
What do you mean...a party? You mean in-game?
In case you've never seen us in action, take a look at our previous events including our Spring Break blast earlier this year, "What happens in the Basin...stays in the basin", or our rompin' stompin' 2009 summer party, "The Sleeper Summer Showdown". This time though, it's Hallow's End. The dead have risen...and they are here to partay!
What and Where
On Saturday, October 24, 2009 @ 7pm Perenolde server time (MST), Sleeper Cartel will present to the denizens of Perenolde, another in our long line of epic parties. The party will be held in the eeriest of locations in all of Azeroth, The Ruins of the Scarlet Enclave. The entire server is invited from the guy who rolled here on day one down to that gal from off-server who rolled on the server the morning of the party...just to see the magic.
Coming from off-server?
Roll an alliance alt on Perenolde and send me or one of the officers a mail in-game prior to the party and we'll arrange for transport (summons) the night of the party. This offer is limited ONLY to those who mail us in advance.
