Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

Brenda and I, along with our puppy Maddie Belle (our kitties will be sitting this one out at home) will be walking along with the rest of team "Snip-Doggie-Dog" on Halloween for this very worthy cause.  Please join us in our efforts to end the destruction of thousands of unwanted animals each year due to overpopulation by sponsoring us for the event!  Thank you in advance for your support, we appreciate it more than we can say.

Not only are we walkers again this year (my 3rd year, Brenda's 8th), but Brenda has also volunteered to help organize the event - and we can promise a fun day! If you're local, you can still register and join the festivities! 

Information about ACT's mission:

In 2008, more than 22,000 companion animals were put down in Hillsborough County. In Pinellas during the same period, almost 15,000 animals met the same cruel fate. 

That's over 40,000 animals in one year, in just two counties.

One proven way to reduce this tragedy is to keep them from going into our local shelters to begin with by providing low cost spay and neuter services to people who cannot otherwise afford it. San Francisco has done it. So has New Hampshire. In fact, every community with high-volume, low cost spay/neuter has significantly dropped its euthanasia rate.

ACT is doing just that in the Tampa Bay area. In the first four years of operation, the ACT Clinic has sterilized over 18,000 pets. Its goal is to sterilize 10,000 more within the next year. Since a lot of people cannot afford even ACT's low fees, many of our operations are subsidized by caring individuals and corporations. More generous donations are needed. The more donations we have, the more lives we can save.

Stride for Strays is ACT's major fundraiser. In 2008, the $42,000 we raised was due mostly to the generosity of our individual walkers and teams.

We need your help to do even better in 2009!
