“The influx of animals due to the floundering economy is stretching the resources of all the shelters, which depend on donations, fundraising and adoption fees to stay in operation….”
This is a quote from THIS ARTICLE in our local paper, The News Times, today. We know the New Milford Animal Welfare Society. We’ve volunteered there, sold books at their events to help raise money for them. Donations are down for animal shelters times are tough all over. Choosing where to donate to, if you find yourself with a few dollars is hard, there are so many needy places. Think about how hard it is for people to have to give up their pets because they can’t afford to take care of them. Think about how overrun our shelters are becoming.
We hope you’ll consider purchasing a copy of Lilly’s Story. ALL the profits are donated to local shelters.
And yeah, we won a prize!
Winner!
Please join us for the official launch of
Lilly’s Story
By Ally Del Monte
Everyday, in puppy mills across the country, dogs with bad eyes, hip problems, and other genetic flaws are used to breed puppies that are sold as “pure bred.” Ten-year-old Ally wants to do something about that. She has written, illustrated and published a book called Lilly’s Story. It’s the story of a dog that is born in a puppy mill and her life thereafter, bad and good. Ally not only wants to raise awareness about puppy mills; she hopes to donate profits from the sale of her book to animal rescue operations, many of which are facing hardship due to a rise in pet releases and a loss in donations as a result of the tight economy.
Profits for the signing will be donated to the Greenwich Adopt-A-Dog shelter to help pay for the care of Big Rocky - read his story HERE
