Buttons is ready for some fun at the PetSmart PetsWalk!
Every year PetSmart Charities hosts a PetsWalk and Adoption Event. This year my good friends at Mingus Manor Animal Sanctuary are putting together a team to go walk in the PetsWalk together in order to raise money for the sanctuary. Every penny of donations they receive goes to help those senior and special needs pups who wouldn’t have a chance otherwise. If you’re looking for something to do on February 20th with family, friends and pets, consider joining Team Mingus Manor for their walk that morning around Tempe Town Lake to help raise money for the dogs who call Mingus Manor home.
Below is more information about the Sanctuary and the event itself, along with links which will take you to the website where you can sign up to join them for a fun day.
Mingus Manor was started nearly two years ago by Karen Scherer who had a handful of old pugs and a pocketful of dreams for rescuing senior and special needs dogs and giving them a place to live out their natural lives. Below is a video that tells more about the organization than I could ever do justice:
The PetSmart Charities PetWalk and Adoption Event presented by Purina Pro Plan is a festival to celebrate the compassion we have for pets. Your participation will raise money for Mingus Manor Animal Sanctuary.
The event, which takes place on Sunday, February 20, 2011, at Tempe Town Lake, includes a small animal adoption event, 5K and 1 mile walks (bring your dogs or take one of the Sanctuary dogs that will be there to participate), as well as fun activities for children, adults, and pets.
JOIN MINGUS MANOR TEAM as a walker, virtual walker, or gift donor. The link below will take you to Mingus Manor – Join Team. After you go to the link, point your mouse on the two words “Join Team”. Click and it will take you to a form to fill in your information.
Karen Scherer is the Team Captain and the goal is to raise $5,000. At Mingus Manor 100% of your donations are used to care for the animals as we are a 100% volunteer-run non-profit organization.
We need your help so we can keep the Sanctuary running and keep the seniors and special needs animals we help alive.
