Adoption is always the best option!
The pound is overcrowded, and people are still going to a breeder to get their pet (s)?? In times like these, with foreclosure pets being such an issue, its important to keep our eyes on what is important. Every time you adopt a pet, you are literally saving its life. Can you think of a better gift? The promise of a warm home, some long overdue attention, and healthy food…these things aren’t outrageous demands or needs. Lets see what we can do as a community to ensure that these pets are being adopted, and not put down simply because they couldn’t find an owner fast enough. The only way to guarantee that this happens is to take part in the cause, volunteer, tell your friends and family that are looking for pets to adopt, etc. Word of mouth is something that should never be underestimated. Now get out there, and get involved, and save a pets life!
And the walk proceeds go to….!!!
Alright guys! There is a little puppy name Beau, he is not even six months old…and he has a grade 6 heart murmur. And by six, I mean grade 6 out of 6. Keep in mind, Beau is just a Pomeranian, a Pomeranian with a serious heart condition. It is hard enough to imagine any pet going through something like this, especially so small and so very young. His owners have taken him to the best- he’s been seen at UCDavis, and now unless he gets surgery in the next few months, he won’t make it. He needs the equivalent of an angioplasty, and those costs puppies about $3,000. So, why don’t we walk for a little puppies health? I’m ready, are you?
***If you donate at the Dog Walk for Health this upcoming October 26th, all of the proceeds will be directly given to Beau’s family for the surgery.
