Dogs in Costumes for Pets and Friends Walk-A-Thon Fundraiser:
The
weather turned out brilliantly, if not a little blustery for our 2009
Annual 'Dogs 'N Duds Walk-A-Thon Fundraising walk around Trout Lake on
Saturday the 26th September 2009. With a miniature four legged fairy
complete with a pink tutu and wings to a 'gang' of Harley Davidson
mates dressed in black leather, along with a turtle, a ladybug and a
caterpillar, not to mention a pint size pirate, a cute pumpkin and the
odd casually attired pets, there was quite a stir among the regular dog
walkers that usually venture around this area of town.
A
very special Thank You goes out to Petcurean of Abbotsford who donated
canned pet food and bags of tasty treats for all the dogs that showed
up for the walk and for the large bags of pet food for all the prize
winners.
We also had a 'Plush Pet Adoption' where for a donation, a refurbished
plush pet, complete with an adoption certificate could find a new home.
Not only a walk-a-thon, this year we included a Volunteer Appreciation
event, complete with cake, chips and pop and a great afternoon was had
by all. Since most of the volunteers dressed up their pets, we have
decided to make it an annual 'thing'. What better way than to be
creative and get a head start on Halloween. Next year, we hope it will
be an even bigger event yet.
Thank you to everyone who donated pledges to help us continue what we
have been doing for 27 years - volunteering pet teams visiting those in
care facilities who can no longer enjoy a pet of their own.
