Organiser's Description
ABOUT THIS ACTIVITY
Please help us raise money to help the dogs and cats in our area by supporting the Animal Welfare League and Garfields Rescue. Volunteers in both organizations have been serving the animals of Lancaster, Northumberland, Westmoreland, and Richmond Counties. Please consider bringing dog and cat food to the Turkey Trot, using the gazebo as a drop-off location.
For over 48 years, AWL has had animals ready for adoption that have been neutered, given some training, and are waiting for a home of their own. Animal Welfare League is located at 75 South Main Street, Kilmarnock, Virginia 22482.
Garfields Rescue mission is to eliminate the suffering of homeless / community cats and kittens in the Northern Neck through humane rescue, robust spay / neuter / vaccination programs and a compassionate foster-to-adopt network through a network of private foster homes. Garfields Rescue can be contacted by email at [email protected]; by phone at 804-480-2066 or by mail at P.O. Box 257, Kilmarnock VA 22482.
Donations of $20, $25, $30, $50 are greatly appreciated! No donation is too small and all will help provide a Thanksgiving meal for them. Remember, the Animal Welfare League and Garfields Rescue always have many great pets just waiting to love you.
