PetConnect Rescue News - April 1, 2017 Edition

|
Happy Spring! Now that the colder months are behind us (paws crossed), we are ready to offer some new and different ways to HELP SAVE LIVES, and we hope that you will want to get involved. In May, we will be holding our first yard sale! Time to look through your closets and garage for items that could use a new home. Volunteers are needed to help run the event. There will be plenty of ways to join in, even if you just come to shop! We also wanted to acknowledge that
March Muttness was a huge success, and once again, we have young people joining in to help rescue animals, as you will see in our Contributor's Corner section below! Cheers!

March Muttness Was A Huge Success!
Thanks to all our supporters who were able to join us
for a night of fun at
March Muttness!
Delicious beer, yummy pizza, playful canines, exciting games, and
amazing
support for PetConnect Rescue combined to make a memorable evening.
Our adorable adoptables loved making new friends as they explored
their surroundings.
Our hearts smiled seeing some of our favorite
alumni dogs come
show off their forever families.
The alum were sure to
share stories of
happiness and hope with the adoptable pups.
Special thanks to 7 Locks Brewing, Jen Salaj, Kelly Grinham,
Lynne Gartenhaus, and all the other volunteers who helped
make
this event such a success.
Stay tuned for our next 7 Locks Brewing event!
