Join me as I raise money to save Philadelphia's homeless, abandoned and unwanted animals. The Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) is a no-kill rescue organization dedicated to saving the most vulnerable animals in the City's animal control shelter. It is Philadelphia's largest rescue partner and is working to make the city a place in which every healthy and treatable pet is guaranteed a home.

On Saturday, October 31, I will participate in the 3rd Annual PAWS Mutt Strut, which will bring animal lovers and their pets together for a 1.5-mile scenic walk through FDR Park. We will raise badly needed funds for PAWS' lifesaving programs including adoption, foster care, spay/neuter surgery, and veterinary care. We will also raise awareness of the harsh reality that thousands of healthy and treatable animals are killed in Philadelphia each year, simply because they do not have homes.

The Mutt Strut will offer us a day of companionship and celebration, and will enable PAWS to give countless more animals the chance to experience that companionship and safety for themselves. Please give whatever you can, and consider joining me on October 31!

I participate in this event to honor the memory of all of our furry friends who were not given a second chance at life, as well as to celebrate the lives of those who were given a second chance.  I adopted both of my furry friends, Mr. Moe & Miss Maggie Mae, from kill shelters in the city and I am so grateful to have found them. My world is a happier place with them in it.  

PAWS is also opening a low cost Spay & Neuter Clinic which will help reduce the number of unwanted pets in the city of Philadelphia.  Part of the money raised through the Mutt Strut will help fund the clinic.  So I ask that you please consider helping me raise money for this cause.  I  also ask that you consider fostering or adopting a new furry companion in need.  And if you aren't in a position to do either, perhaps you would consider volunteering.  There are so many opportunities for you to help our furry friends in need.  

On a personal note, volunteering and being a foster parent are the best things I have ever done with my life.  The lives I have helped save, and the people and furry pals I have met along the way, have truly enriched my life.  

I thank you in advance for your consideration.  

With Appreciation,

Stacey  =)
