Pet Adoption Day and Book Reading
with the Faxon Animal Rescue League
Saturday, June 12th 10:00am - 12:00pm
In honor of Pet Adoption Month, The Faxon Animal Shelter will be at Partners to show some of their lovable dogs available for adoption and to lend information regarding the importance and process of adopting a pet in need of a home and family. Linda McHugh, the Humane Coordinator at Faxon Animal Rescue League, will give an interactive presentation “Kids Can BARK” (be aware, responsible and kind). She teaches kids how to be safe around their own pets and how to prevent dog bites by learning the warning signs and how to react.
The event will feature a wonderful children’s book, Finding Danny, by Linzi Glass for ages 8-12. Linzi Glass will be joining us from California via Skype and will read some excerpts from her book about a young girl’s plight to find her lost dog, leading her to find new friends, homes for shelter dogs just days before euthanization, and resolve a strained relationship with her mother.
We will have crafts for the kids and some special treats from our kitchen.
Partners will post a “Faxon Animal Shelter Needs List” for all who would like to donate items to the shelter. Please feel free to stop by before the event and drop your donation in the “Faxon Needs Box”.
