Milo & Mika

At Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League we sometimes see some unusual things in our lobby. Today we met best friends, Milo and Mika.

Mika is a lemur and Milo is a cat. We caught up with the pair while Milo was getting a shot at our clinic.

As is the case with any adoption, where there is already an existing animal in the home, it's good to bring the pair together on a "first date" at our shelter, so everyone can see if they are a good match.

Looking to meet some animals on your own? You certainly need to come out to our upcoming Walk for the Animals. March 9 will be here before you know it. To register visit WalkWithPeggy.org

Please Wear Ties and Long Dresses

Actually, we don't want you to wear ties and long dresses for The Barry Crown Walk for the Animals. That would be silly.

Well actually silly is good but we want it to be the right kind of silly!

You see, many of our Walk Teams love to dress up. You will smile when you notice them decked out in  special shirts, wearing fun hats, or celebrating with a particular theme.

It's a fun way to make an enjoyable day even better. We're ready to be dazzled by your creativity.

How do you get started? Form a team at our walk website WalkWithPeggy. It only takes a minute and it's free to register. Once you're registered you can personalize your page.

Don't forget that your dogs can also enjoy dress up. We will once again have a costume contest.

Our Walk for the Animals is known for being both a pet and people friendly event. Have fun and let's celebrate the joy our animals bring us.

Are You the Leader of the Pack?

Maybe you are the "Big Dog" in your group of friends or family. You're the one who organizes everyone. You take pride in making sure they all have fun.

We're looking for people to organize packs (also known as teams) for this year's Barry Crown Walk For the Animals. It's the March 9th event that puts the "fun" in fundraiser.

We not only want you to create a team (of at least five people) but we also want you to have fun while doing it. Come up with a catchy name for your group, dress up in memorable costumes, and unleash your creativity. Why not get started right now?

You'll have a great time at this half day event and go home knowing that you've made a tremendous difference in the lives of so many animals who only want a new home.

Maybe in your group of friends, you're more of a small pup. Feel free to forward this message to the leader of your pack. Together we'll make this our best Walk for the Animals ever.

Behind the Scenes: Grooming Matters

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.

This process takes time and costs money but we want to make sure that our adoptable animals are looking and feeling their best. 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:

Does your dog need a good washing? You might want to bring him or her to our Walk for the Animals event which this year will feature a Celebrity Pet Wash.
