30th ANNIVERSARY WALK & WAG-A-THON!

---

Although this is a celebratory, milestone year for us, we still face many financial

challenges due to COVID.  We have not been able to hold our annual fundraiser and while our donations have decreased, our expenses have not. To provide veterinary care, food, shelter, education and sterilization for animals, requires up to $200,000 annually!

 We hope you can support our goal of raising $6,000 - just $200 for each of the 30 years we have helped save hundreds of cats and dogs.

Register to Walk -  register yourself ($10 fee) and/or your pet (free) and ask your

friends and family members to help support your walk!  (Have them click the sponsor link below.)  Please register by March 20th.

Thank you in advance for your support. 

Cleverly dressed up K9s and their owners enjoyed the 1st Annual K9 Costume Party on the patio of the DeSoto Club on Halloween.  A special thank you to Bryan Garrett, Food and Beverage Manager, for orchestrating the fun filled event. Guests enjoyed a lunch of hot dogs, brats, hamburgers and beverages, as well as a variety of salads.  Anita Cox and her daughter Toni from Sweet Treats Bakery provided baked treats, with all proceeds from the lunch sales supporting the Animal Welfare League.

Thanks to everyone's generosity, more than $500 was raised for AWL programs!   

The highlight of the afternoon was the "Pooch Parade" and gift cards to POA restaurants were awarded for the best dressed K9s.

Thanks also to Bryan's staff at the DeSoto Club, and to Kim Massey, Human Resources Manager, for their valuable assistance. 

We also want to thank Ben E. Keith Company and Miller Lite for sponsoring the event.
