| BIRTHDAY PAW-TY SUCCESS!! |
PAL THANKS THE COMMUNITY FOR THE BIRTHDAY PRESENTS!
Thank you for helping us celebrate our 1st Birthday in the Adoption Center! It is a privilege to live in a community which recognizes our duty to help all the innocent creatures that deserve a second chance at life.
The tails were wagging at Palmetto Animal League after our Paw-ty on October 29th, which marked the 1st year in the Okatie Adoption Center. Our generous community donated over 1,600 pounds of dog chow, 560 pounds of cat/kitten chow, 600 cans of food and countless bags of pet treats , all of which will feed our doggies for several months, and kitties, for six weeks. In addition, 120 pets and their owners took advantage of PAL’s low cost vaccine/microchip clinic on the 29th. Happily, 46 animals were adopted by loving families during our birthday week.
We are blessed to have talented volunteers who decorated the PAL Adoption Center and the parking lot, making everything incredibly festive. Fifty dedicated and hard-working volunteers planned and helped with our birthday paw-ty. We are indebted to a group of extraordinary Marines from Parris Island and the Air Station who assisted us all day long.
PAL is extremely grateful to our Paw-ty sponsors: LowCountry Paver, The Corkern Group, Beach Properties and the Island Packet/Beaufort Gazette.
Many thanks to our emcees and contest judges: Brittany Shane, WSAV, Bluffton Police Chief Dave McAllister, Bluffton Mayor Lisa Sulka and Lance Corporal Hutchings.
