If you're reading this here, you know how fucking much Travis and I love
Leroy, our puppy boy. Like you know how you love {insert thing} so
much you just can't believe you keep finding more love??? And how the
word love doesn't come close to how this little furry face touches your
soul? Yep, that's how we feel about him. (you should read all about
his First Woofday.)
When we adopted Leroy, we not only found a great friend but a wonderful
organization, that feels like an extended family. And they need our
help!
If you are just SO motivated to help out and will read this later, Go Here, Yo. If you already love my words, continue on.
The Glendale Humane Society is hosting their 10th Annual Wags 'N'
Whiskers Walk, May 4. All proceeds allow this No-Kill shelter to
continue rescuing, caring and finding forever homes to a whole mess of
furry friends. On our donation page, I wrote a summary of what GHS does
for animals and included a few tidbits of our personal experiences, but
I added a little more below. If you're curious...
We were surprised by the personal investment each staff member had.
They really wanted to make sure they were matching the right buddy to
the right family. And educational - man, let me tell you. The shelter
requires a prep-course before taking your friend home, which
tremendously helped us. I mean we were overwhelmed the first first
days, but EVERY technique they taught has worked with Leroy. We also
continued education with Tully's Training, who works each week with the
visiting dogs. The whole mindset was a culture change to training, but
now it's second nature, and we're able to handle any situation Leroy
throws at us. Even though he shares our address, we will never be on
our own thanks to them!
Did you not get all warm and smiley just picturing those wonderful
animals finding homes! We are raising as many donations as possible for
this incredible group! Any donation, even the smallest amount, will
directly support their efforts to feed, care, foster, nurse, and all
around love more friends. uh, and who doesn't want more friends! Join
us won't ya! You can donate directly to our personal page here.
On behalf of the entire three-piece Clark band, we thank you!
- Brandi, Travis and of course, Leroy the puppy boy.
p.s. We understand many people work directly with their local shelters
and may feel funny about donating to one they don't know. We promise
you, it's all for good! But if you're unsure, and because giving is
tops, make a donation to the one you love! It's not just money, old
blankets, towels, unused toys or equipment, volunteer - it's all
appreciated and totally needed.
