Today I was part of the 2nd Annual Merry Mutt Fair put on by the Black Dog Animal Rescue. The family-friendly event is a celebration of the pets in our lives. It included pet pictures with Santa, pet service & product related vendors, music, door prizes, and adoptable pets. There was so much to take in- even a "kiss a pit-bull" booth and a hot dog eatting contest for the pooches that came. Some talented face painters were on hand as well which my daughter loved and she had some beautiful holly painted on her face. I drew names from a bucket for the door prizes. I am also pictured with my own dog, Blue. He is a Catahoula Leopard dog. We love him so much. He was adopted by our family just a few months ago.
Here is a little info. on Black Dog Animal Rescue-
Black Dog Animal Rescue (BDAR), Cheyenne’s only No-Kill animal shelter. We are a small organization run solely on a volunteer basis and funded entirely through donations. BDAR came into existence because of a strongly held belief by its founders. Namely, that no animals should be euthanized in shelters because of population restrictions or because of the length of time it may take to find a permanent home. That said the following mission statement has emerged as a summary of the present and future goals of BDAR. Please Note: "Black Dog" is only part of our name - being a black dog is not a requirement to be rescued. http://www.bdar.org/
