Organization Pride

Over the last month or so, I have been working to raise money at the shelter for homeless/abused/and neglected animals. Saturday, May 18th, we put on the annual Walk and Wag event which included a family friendly environment and you could bring your dog. They had a 5K run and another 5K walk. During the event, they had little shows within, tons of booths, food, information, and adoptable dogs walking around. The shelter raised over $221,000!!!!!!! I am absolutely amazed with the dedication from all the volunteers, those who work at the shelter, and the community. It's amazing what people can do when they get together and work as a team.

It was a refreshing experience and I am so glad I was able to be a part of it.  I walked around and admired those who have taken animals into their homes with loving arms and now provide for them. My dog was a rescue dog and although she can be a pain in my bum sometimes, she is SO loving and such a wonderful addition to our family.

My biggest struggle with the shelter so far, is trying not to be tempted to bring them all home =) The good news is, they are SO well taken care of, that there is no reason for guilt. 

thank you,  HSHV!
