In spite of Mother Nature's impressive efforts to rain
out our Bark in the Park, our spirits could not be dampened!! While we
weren't able to do all the things that we had planned, and the turn out
wasn't as good as it would have been if we had a beautiful day, the Bark
in the Park was still a success!!! Thank you to all who attended and
donated and for the donations that were mailed in as well as any
donations that were left in the donation box by volunteers who couldn't
make it to the park yesterday.
Thank you to everyone who collected donations, donated baked goods (they
were beautiful and delicious!!!), made baskets for the raffle, and came
down to the park in all that rain to support the shelter!! There were
several of our past shelter residents in attendance with their new
families, and it was so satisfying to see them happy and healthy and
having so much fun. Reggie, Rocky, and Valerie were there too, and all
three were very well behaved and seemed to enjoy the day out very much!
Rocky even discovered his true calling as a fireman!! We couldn't get
him out of the truck. Thank you to the Bark in the Park planning
committee for all their hard work.
The dog in the picture painting is JoAnn's dog Asha. She was adopted
