Dogs Playing Poker Run for Community Sharing's Pet Pantry
>> Wednesday, October 7, 2009
If you live anywhere in Metro Detroit, please get your dog and join us in Milford, MI. We are holding a Poker Run with a pet friendly twist. The players are going to be walking through our beautiful down town, with their dogs and collecting their cards from merchants. They will end up at Central Park where the winners will be announced.
Milford has a picturesque downtown and some incredible shops and restaurants (we have a great dog bakery! Just Dogs Gourmet). It is a wonderful place to visit and an even better place to call home. Like the rest of Michigan we have been hit hard by the economic down turn. We have been hit longer than the rest of the US too. Our area food bank, Community Sharing, is over whelmed. What is extraordinary about Community Sharing is that a few years ago they began recognizing the need for the family pets and they have aided in preserving that human animal bond through good economic times and bad.
I have been lucky to have the chance to work with this organization over the past year. Between food, vaccines, spays and neuters, we have cared for over 750 animals! I think its great that we can focus on keeping these pets in their homes rather than adding to the already epidemic problem with stray and homeless dogs and cats.
Please come and get some exercise, walk your dog, meet new people, see our wonderful town and help a worthy cause.
