More than enough money raised at Mardi Paws

Thanks to all our friends that helped raise the money for the insulation. Mardi Paws was a great success. We brought in more than twice what we needed and had a great time. The roofing and insulation will be delivered this Friday to the Animal Shelter. Special thanks to our sponsors, Animal Care Clinic, 84 Lumber and Animal Tracks Magazine. With our new PayPal account we even got contributions over the web.

Raise the Roof at Mardi Paws!

Friends of the Shelter moves into its final phase of building a permanent roof over the outside animals at the Huntington-Cabell-Wayne Animal Shelter. They need help in buying the insulation that will go under the metal roofing. That insulation will be a great comfort to the animals on a hot summer day. The cost of the insulation is $750.00 and the Friends of the Shelter has a planned fund raiser for next Tuesday Feb. 12th from 6 - 8 PM at Logan's Road House at the Huntington Mall. If you want the shelter dogs to be way cool this summer please come to our Mardi Paws Celebration.
