Hi Andrea! I volunteer and serve on the board of a local animal shelter and I really appreciate all you do for the shelters and organizations listed above. We just had our 700th adoption and the best part is it was a sweet little doggy who had been with u for 15 months! We were all so happy that he could go home for Christmas! Thanks again! Have a very Merry Christmas!
ps I don’t need to be entered into the giveaway. Save it for someone else!
andrea says
Hi there Pam! How are you! I am so excited for you and the Shelter…700 ADOPTED…oh and it is even sweeter that the pup was there so long and now in a loving home…I am crying!!! I LOVE when this happens! We went to our shelter with tons of stuff and just knowing when we left that everyone in the shelter had a new bed and comfy blankets and new toys and chew made my heart a little less heavy…but unfortunately it doesn’t last long because I wish we could help every single one of them in the world. Thank you for all that you do for the precious pets in your shelter. Do they have a website with a donate button? Please let me know because I would be happy to put them down as our charity of the week! PLEASE let me know ok! Sending tons of hugs and love for the New Year!
