Volunteers and patrons alike converged at the Whitemud PetSmart on the 14th February for a particularly snowy but distinctly romantic Zoe’s Adoption Event. Baked sweet treats of varying flavours and consistent deliciousness were provided by the über talented Maggie for the discerning palettes of both two and four legged patrons. Equally talented but in the visual rather than culinary arts was Amanda who battled gamely with a busy thoroughfare for the attention of pets and owners in the specially constructed Valentine’s photo booth. Holly was also on hand with the current Zoe’s Foster Album. Special guests of honour were Rocky and Molly, Zoe’s fosters and Sadie who came along from Paws in Need, all looking for their forever homes. An impressive $555 was raised for the cause and will go towards funding the important work of the Society.
Adoption events are incredibly important in allowing Zoe’s Rescue Society get its message to a wide range of the general public, raising essential funds to help with the care of the many animals we currently look after and those that will be cared for in future, and of course a literal shop window for those foster animals looking for their forever homes. In order for the events to continue to be a success, it is essential that as many people as possible attend – check the events blog for upcoming events and tell any friends, neighbours or work colleagues you think might be interested.
Special mention must go to Edmonton’s answer to Curious George…a giant tortoise who just happened to be pounding the aisles of PetSmart when we were there – it’s amazing what you can see when you get out on a Saturday afternoon…
