Adoptathon 2009 will be held from May 12-16. Each year, in conjunction with the Adoptathon, we hold a raffle of more than 20 fabulous gift baskets to benefit the shelter’s Best Friends’ Medical Relief Fund. The Best Friends’ Fund provides veterinary care for sick and injured dogs that arrive at our shelter so they too have a second chance at a happy life. Our goal for the raffle this year is to raise $15,000 so we’re going to need lots of help to get there!
This year the number of dogs whose lives depend upon the Best Friends’ Medical Relief Fund has never been greater–we’re seeing more and more heartworm positive dogs, dogs with broken bones, and other injuries. We’d like to help them all but in order to do so, we need you! Please consider making a tax-deductible donation for our gift basket raffle–gift certificates for local restaurants, shops, dog-themed items for pups and their human friends are among the items that are always popular. We would like to have all items by March 30 so that we can start advertising and selling raffle tickets in early April. All donors will be acknowledged in the Thank You section on our homepage.
If you’d like to help, please email volunteer Lynn Jewell at jewell.l@sbcglobal.net or adoption supervisor Greg Willey at gwilley@cuyahogacounty.us. All the Cuyahoga dogs join us in saying thank you!
