To the Editor:
Though this time of year is our busiest with community events and pet adoptions, we must slow down and take this opportunity to express our most sincere gratitude to our supporters. You, the community, have allowed us to live up to and honor our mission with your contributions of time, funds and the labor of love. For this … we’re Fur-ever thankful.
Each year brings us new challenges. Our shelter has continued to grow, assisting and adopting more animals than ever before. And you have continued to be there. Giving spare change in our donation box or leaving a legacy of compassion in your estate planning, each gift is important to accomplish the goal of helping local animals in need. For this … we’re Fur-ever thankful.
To all our local media, you have helped spread the word of our necessary work. To those who helped make our shelter environment more effective with additional kennels and quarantine, to those businesses and clubs who sponsored events, you have shown the real meaning of community and made a big difference. For this … we’re Fur-ever thankful.
We are a volunteer-based non-profit organization, blessed to have a skilled devoted staff which guides our volunteer team so well. To our volunteers, busy with their own lives, your commitment to help on all levels is so appreciated. We always welcome more people like you. For this … we’re Fur-ever thankful.
We approach a time of annual reflection and our gratitude must reflect back to shine on all of you, our community. Without you, we would not have been able to achieve our shelter’s mission of connecting endearing animals with wonderful people. For this … we’re Fur-ever thankful.
If you are new to us, we extend an invitation to visit our shelter and learn how to be a part of the important work accomplished there. On behalf of the animals we strive to protect, we wish you and your pets a safe, healthy and love-filled holiday season.
