This past Saturday night was a night to remember. The Moose Lodge was packed, not with gianormous animals, but a seemingly record turn out crowd of Kenoshans and Pleasants to support The Safe Harbor Humane Society. It was our local shelters annual fundraiser "Spayghetti Dinner" and if I can trust my intuition, it was a success.
Our shelter is near and dear to my heart as it's the shelter of choice for our NAPPS Presents 4 Pets drive, where last year, as a community of pet sitting clients and friends raised close to $1500 in products and cash. As always, this was much appreciated and needed.
For those of you reading who aren't residents of Kenosha or surrounding towns, think about your local shelter and what you can do to support it. If you can give them $5, it will help keep their lights on, help rescue, feed and house a lost or stray pet while this precious soul awaits his or her forever home. If you have the room and heart to take in another pet-even better. Adopt. There are plenty of animals who need homes who could use a nice tender hug this time of year, and nothing is better than the unconditional love from an animal. I guarantee you that the trendy handbag you covet will be out of style in 3 nanoseconds, but the love of your pet will never, ever go out of style.
Amen Sister!!
