Christmas Came Early....

For the dogs and cats at WARL.  When Mila and Freya popped into WARL on Monday they were loaded down with bags of  toys.  The girls went shopping and picked out just what the WARL dogs wanted, BIG bones and squeaky toys -- and lots of them.  They also donated cash  to help care for the cats and dogs in the shelter.  The girls, totally embracing the season of giving, said that the donations were in lieu of their own gifts.   They have plenty and wanted to make sure that the animals had enough, too.   This is not the first time that the young animal welfare advocates have forgone gifts so that a generous donation could be made to WARL.  Check out the June 2, 2014 blogpost to read about the girls 7th birthday celebration donation.  Thank you Freya and Mila and happy holidays!

Helping Animals is a Community Effort!

When Owen and his parents brought their dogs,  Tipsey (left),  Finn (Center) and Mosey (right) to Fitzgerald Auto Mall for a family photo with Santa, Owen also brought his savings to donate to WARL.  One of the holiday elves mentioned the generous donation to the folks at Fitzgerald who, in the spirit of the season, doubled Owen's donation on the spot.   

Surely Tipsey,  a senior dog rescued from Montgomery County Humane Society two years ago, who may be 17, according to Owen's dad, Mosey and Finn, the youngest of the threesome,  are not only enjoying a happy holiday season, but are treated like Santa's special guests everyday!   

Thanks Owen and family for your kindness.
