Behind the Scenes: Grooming Matters

Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, Pet Praise, Grooming, Adopt a dog west Palm Beach
Every animal who arrives at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League is beautiful but sometimes they need a little help cleaning up. That's where grooming comes in.

Did you know that these dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens receive some extra TLC in our grooming room? Maybe they need a haircut, a shampoo, or even a nail clipping.

Susan, from our staff, does a great job of trimming, washing, and tending to the needs of each dog.

Pet Praise has been a wonderful partner in this effort. The company donates shampoo and conditioner.

To see first hand how this ongoing donation is making a difference, watch this video:

Tiger is Mr. 3000

Tiger and his new family
History was made at the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League’s annual Christmas Ball. The 40th edition of the Ball saw the shelter toast its 3,000th adoption for 2012.

One of the highlights of the evening is always the parade of adoptable dogs and cats through the dining room. It was then that a dog named Tiger made history.

“Once he put his paw on me, that was it,” said Timothy Scanlon. He and his family then decided to adopt Tiger.

Every dog, cat, puppy, or kitten that comes to Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League receives a wellness check, is spay/neutered, given appropriate vaccinations and a microchip identifier. All adoptions include free dog and puppy training.

“To have 3,000 adoptions in one year is amazing,” said Rich Anderson. “And to have it happen with so many friends and supporters in the room at our ball made the moment even sweeter.”

Every day new adoptable animals arrive at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League and are promoted on the agency’s website: hspb.org.

“There are so many loving animals in need of a forever home in Palm Beach County,” said Anderson. “With the help our staff and volunteers, creative promotions, and fantastic animals, we’ve managed to set a new record. Our commitment will continue in 2013.”
