It is birthday week for Phoenix
This is a birthday week for a very special dog adopted from our Shelter! Phoenix, adopted from our Shelter by Elizabeth at Blue Ridge Animal Clinic, is not only a very special dog, but perhaps one of the luckiest dogs ever getting to spend her life with Elizabeth & Russ. So, THIS week is Phoenix’s 9th annual ‘Yappy Barkday Pawty’ Fundraiser at Blue Ridge Animal Clinic, 4422 Wetumpka Hwy, Montgomery (in the Tallapoosa Crossings Shopping Center).
This is a week-long ‘party’ starting today through Fri, 28 June from 7:30 am – 5:30 pm daily (and the clinic will also be open at lunchtime this week). Phoenix celebrates her birthday by asking for donations for our Shelter. Elizabeth has a list at the Clinic or check out our website wish list at http://www.elmorehumane.org/hsec-wish-list.html
Phoenix & Elizabeth will also take monetary donations which will help us pay for medical treatments, vaccines, spay/neuter surgeries and more.
Phoenix will have T-Shirts for sale, swag bags, refreshments for us humans, puppacinos, pet treats, bandana station, kissing booth photos and so much more! Phoenix has raised thousands of dollars and truckloads of supplies for our Shelter which is just incredible and a testament to so many Blue Ridge Animal Clinic clients and their friends and families. So stop by Blue Ridge Animal Clinic this week and thank Phoenix, Elizabeth and everyone at the Clinic for helping our Shelter like this!
Looking ahead, another fantastic local organization, Wetumpka Depot Players, is also helping our Shelter. Tickets are on sale for the upcoming ‘Hooray for Harry Wood’ (11-27 July), starring, Baxter, a very loved pup! Baxter’s human, Janet Cothran Robinson (Depot stage manager) has a heart for taking in older pups and giving them their best life. In honor of her love for Baxter and others like him, they will be accepting donations of dog food or cash throughout the Hooray for Harry Wood showing to help our pets. They will thank donors with complimentary concessions, and we cannot wait to get our tickets to join in on this fun show!
Don’t forget that you can donate food as well while doing your grocery shopping at our local Wetumpka Winn Dixie! They are keeping this going all summer while our food need is at its greatest so thank you Wetumpka Winn Dixie for thinking of our pets like this.
If you have pets and are planning to be away for the 4th of July holiday, we sure hope you have made your pet boarding reservations already. Boarding facilities tend to book 100% for long weekends, so don’t delay making appropriate arrangements if you have not already, And this can include updating your pet’s vaccinations as required by any boarding facility so don’t wait until the last minute!
