Well if you have been following my blog for awhile you already know how important it is to me and my mom to help out at Harbor Humane Society (where I came from). My mom's thing to do is to volunteer at adoption events. She always does an event at Chow Hound Pet Store once a month for Harbor and then if something else comes along they need help with she tries to do that too (cool mom huh!). Mom believes we have to do what we can to help these dogs find good homes. Harbor is a kill shelter so we try to do whatever we can, whenever we can.
Well this past Saturday she helped at a really cool adoption event! There is a second hand store in Holland, Michigan that invited about 8 rescue agencies in with their dogs and cats! Now, this was right up my mom's alley! A thrift store and adoption event all in one place! Mom said Harbor had five dogs there! She said it was a lot of fun and they had people filling out apps and taking apps home!!
Below is the link to an article done by the local paper and my mom's picture is in it!!!! She is holding the little lhasa mix, Harley. Enjoy the article, it's titled secondhand pup-cute huh!

ALSO!
I got my first Christmas card!! Roo sent me a Christmas card of him! Here is a pic of me with the card:
So, let me share with you some info on Roo: He is also a rescued mutt like me. He was adopted on Halloween day in 2009, but don't worry he isn't a scary dude at all! He is a very funny fella who likes to go down slides and chase squirrels! Thank you for the card Roo, if my mom ever gets cards done I will be sure to send you one. It's getting kind of late for Christmas but she did just see New Year's ones, so there is still hope!! The link to Roo's blog is below, stop by and say hi!

Oh my gosh, Kirby! My hooman also is gaga for da thrift stores. Once she enters one you can'tz get her to leave. I think she has a sickness that makes her have to look at ever little piece of junk!! hehe
ReplyDeleteMy hooman also volunteers for other doggies. In fact, she's going to do spend Christmas day at the animal shelter where she volunteers so the doggies don't haves to be alone!
