Girl Scout Troop 40172 is hosting "Tail to Trails" May 1 at Price Park in Greensboro as part of a Silver Award project. The event, near Kathleen Clay Edwards Library and Jefferson Elementary School, benefits the Guilford County Animal Shelter. Dog owners may bring their leashed dogs, walk the trails at Price Park, and support a worthy cause. In addition to walking you dog, you can learn more about foster care for dogs and cats that aren't ready for adoption. These girl scouts have worked hard on this service-learning event and could really use our support!
Check in for the event on Saturday, May 1st is from 8 to 8:30 a.m. Prize drawings will be at 9:30 a.m. Cost is $13 before April 15 and $15 after April 15. Walkers should bring donations such as food, treats, toys, blankets and pillows for the shelter. The first 100 participants will receive a "Tails to Trails" T-shirt, doggy goodie bag and doggy bandana. For information, to register, or to offer a donation, contact the troop leader: Mary Ann Wettach, (336) 547-8522 or [email protected].
We're sharing this irresistible photo of Greensboro Pomeranian Bijou with our friends at camera critters. Fortunately Bijou knows nothing about animal foster care; however, we bet she's giving a four-paws endorsement for this event!
What a great idea. Hope y'all bring in lots of donations for the GS charity for the animal shelters.
Here's My C C entry - hope you can come by for a visit if you find time.

Looks like Ms. Pomeranian is anxious to go for a walk. She is a cutie. Valerie

I hope that the money will be rolling in, animal shelters and foster homes can always use it (I foster mice for a rescue organisation, so I know it ;) )
Love the happy face of Bijou!
