Dear Friends and Family, As you know, I have been an active volunteer with Henrico Humane Society for more than 10 years. In fact, Bailey is a HHS alumni who I adopted almost 14 years ago!

 I will walk in the 2k 4 Paws Dog Walk on September 13 and am asking for your support. Please help me reach my fundraising goal of $2,000 by making a pledge - every little bit helps! HHS is run entirely by volunteers like me who work diligently to rescue homeless animals in the Greater Richmond area. We place 450+ dogs and cats in permanent homes each year. HHS relies on donations, adoption fees and fundraising events to cover our operating expenses. Please help me support these efforts if you can. The majority of the funds raised from the dog walk will be used to pay for the medical expenses so many of our animals need due to abuse or neglect.
