Paws in the Park – May 30th, 2009

Thank you to everyone who came out to Paws in the Park and helped raise money for Furry Friends Rescue.  We hope you and your pets enjoyed yourselves!  Although it was mostly dogs at the event, there was even a cat in its stroller with two Shepherd pals walking alongside.  It’s so great to see everyone have a good time, enjoying the fashion show, contests, raffles and most of all Kara’s Cupcakes!

Here are some highlights from the day!

We had lots of people visiting our adoptable dogs and talking to us about rescue.
