<div>’Tis the season for thanks, so here it is – on behalf on WAG I want to thank all the people who’ve helped us this year! You’re our heroes!</div><div><div><br /></div><div>Here’s some of what we’ve done in 2009:</div><div><br /></div><div><ul><li>Rescued 224 dogs/cats from the shelter</li><li>Paid for spayed/neuter of more than 80 pets of deserving families</li><li>Paid for lifesaving medical treatment like amputations, eye surgeries, heartworm treatments, and other procedures to help rescue pets start their new lives</li><li>Drove to Connecticut with 140 pets for a 3-day adoption event, found homes for 136 of them.</li><li>Started a pet food pantry for pet owners struggling to make ends meet</li><li>Went into schools and talked to students about supporting pets and humane care.</li><li>Held a holiday adoption event that gave more than 45 pets a new home for Christmas.</li></ul></div><div>None of this would have happened with support of the animal-loving public. Some of you sent $10, some $100 or more – whatever the amount, it allows us to help lots of deserving pets and people. Fundraising is no fun – we’d much rather hang around with dogs – but a necessity for us. To each of our contributors, we’re incredibly grateful you chose to help WAG!</div><div><br /></div><div>And now I will say, as I turn off my light,</div><div>Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!</div><div><br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GGzq-xpWRuI/SzMubGjpSRI/AAAAAAAAARo/JCW3kqYOBNo/s1600-h/Santa.jpg”><img style=”display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 320px;” src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GGzq-xpWRuI/SzMubGjpSRI/AAAAAAAAARo/JCW3kqYOBNo/s320/Santa.jpg” border=”0″ alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418725819808303378″ /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>
