Today’s Shelter Appreciation Winner – Pawcurious

We’re well into National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, sponsored by the Humane Society of the United States.

As most of you know, I’ve teamed up with Big Paw Designs and Peoplepets.com to encourage everyone to celebrate our local rescues and shelters let them know how much we love and appreciate all they do! So do anything you can – no matter how big or small – to show them you care.

We’ll be featuring your stories of kindness and giving here, at the Big Paw Designs Blog and on Peoplepets.com.

Wow! You guys are amazing. I cannot believe all of the wonderful things you’re doing to support and appreciate your local shelters – from delivering dog food to blankets to fostering. AH-MAZING, I tell you!

Today’s featured “do-gooder” is Dr. V., a veterinarian in sunny San Diego, California who blogs at Pawcurious . She has pledged to do a 24-hour Blogathon this weekend, from Friday evening until Saturday afternoon. Proceeds from the event will benefit her local shelter, the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA.

She’s going to do one blog post an hour and her sponsors and donors will be eligible to win fun prizes throughout the event. Her trusty “assistant,” Brody, will be there too. And, the best news is she’s a very

entertaining writer so she’ll definitely be able to keep everyone interested for the whole 24-hours!

So mark your calendars and go support Dr. V. this weekend!

What are YOU doing this week to appreciate your shelter? Send your story to me at romeo@romeothecat.com, along with a photo, and you might be featured too! Every day, we’re selecting a winner to win a Rescue Mom or Rescue Dad car magnet or sticker, courtesy of Big Paw Designs
