Well, it's been quite some time since we have had the opportunity to blog and here we are now about to enter the Autumn of 2009!
The summer was a little slow with intakes and adoptions but long on work to get done. If not caring for our current fosters, it was attending rescue functions like L'oreal's "Your Dog is Worth it, Too", day. It was hot as blazes that day, but we met many nice people and had an opportunity to show some of our All Star Pets to people looking to adopt their furever friend. (In the photo above is our Little Man Jake who was enjoying a swim in one of the many pools provided for the pooches on "Your Dog is Worth it Too" day! He absolutely took to the water like a little fish!)
We had a couple of fundraisers at local Restaurants and were able to raise a nice little bit of cash to defray some of our vet and food expenses. We are now looking forward to a few more fundraisers - one at Wendy's of Linden at 709 S Wood Avenue (right off Rt. 1 & 9), on Sept. 24th between 5pm - 8pm. We will get 20% of the proceeds.
Also, we will be doing a fundraiser with Macy's for a 20% off coupon on Oct. 17th. The coupons cost $5 each and you can use them for your shopping that day.
For information on the Wendy's Fund Raiser or the Macy Fund raiser and/or on obtaining tickets, please contact Val at "vegan_girly@yahoo.com".
