CincoandDahlilasgirl Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 Ok HAWS is haveing a wag walk type thing at the park in may and I'm debating if we should go. It'd be good exercize for the dogs and fun as a family event but the shelter thats holding it isn't exactly the cleanest and nicest (weekday afternoon volunteer wise that is) shelter in town. We wound up leaving after we waited over an hour just to tell someone at the front desk we wanted to look at a certain dog. So I'm wondering if we should do since it's not the animals fault they're there and it'd be supporting them. Heres a link with more info on it. http://hawspets.org/Walk-A-Thon%20Form.pdf Quote
kendalyn Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 More support will enable the shelter to improve it's situation. I would go. Quote
CincoandDahlilasgirl Posted March 13, 2005 Author Posted March 13, 2005 I have to wait and find out when choir rehersals are for the spring concert since thats the same week on may 11. Just a note:Thats not the shelter cinco came from. The 1 he came from has their wag walk in the fall. Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 I'd go. Your right, its not the animals fault. :wink: Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 more money would help to run it properly Quote
CincoandDahlilasgirl Posted March 13, 2005 Author Posted March 13, 2005 I might but i have to ask my parents and see if I'm rehersing for the choir concert and if I'm scheduled to volunteer at elmbrook for a certaian activity. Quote
pollysmith Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 I would make every effort to be there. Obviously this shelter needs more support. Quote
courtnek Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 if the walk will raise money for the shelter, than I would do it. Our shelter here holds walks every year, and I go. the shelter is in an old run-down building, clean, but obviously marked and stained by years of animals, and they use the money to fix leaking windows (its cold here in the winter) and doors, and re-paint. the shelter has no central air (radiant heat, no duct work) and one year we did the walk to raise money to buy and have installed wall mounted air conditioners in the pet areas. both summers and winters here are brutal. I donated an old window air conditioner for the office (the expensive wall mounted ones went to the pets at the directors insistance) and they send me thank you cards every summer... :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote
