This past Sunday FPPP was at Doggie U in Bay Shore, Long Island along with a great group of other vendors including pet adoption/care organizations: Tavi and Friends, A Home at Last, and Forgotten Friends, for a Holiday Festival.
These folks volunteer their time year round to help pets (dogs, cats and feral cats) in need of shelter and food in foster homes, ultimately promoting adoption when they can. I am told they even build makeshift homes for the feral cats to keep warm during the winter months.
It is important in my mind to bring awareness to these groups as there are so many pets in need of good homes. Many are pure bred, many are housebroken and in need of a good family.
So while some families stopped by to see the crafts, dog coats, homemade Giants and Jets dog bandanas and booths offering cupcakes (both for human and dogs) .
And while we brought smiles to the already pet owners faces…
We all brought awareness to the groups in need.
There are even specific breed groups out there such as Russell Refuge where we adopted our Jack Russell, Jakey.
Humbling to be a part of a great community of folks.
