Forsyth Humane Society Fundraiser- Thank you!

In March and April, I reduced my session fee to just $35 or a large bag of Purina dog food, and gave all session fees (in cash or food form!) to the Forsyth Humane Society. I started this fundraiser for my oldest son, Jake, who LOVES animals. We don't have pets (unless you count 2 goldfish) since we are not home enough, and Jake isn't old enough yet to volunteer at FHS. So Jake contributed by asking friends and neighbors to donate items for FHS (after all, who can say no to a sweet and thoughtful 9 year old? :). Together, we were able to raise almost $500 in item and cash donations for the Forsyth Humane Society! Thank you SO much to all of you who contributed to our efforts! I'd like to say a very special thank you to Tina Yow for her very generous cash donation! We couldn't have done it without you all! Jake enjoyed a fun afternoon visiting with the animals at FHS. He was also invited to come back and visit anytime he'd like to, which is.... every day. :)

We do plan to make visits regularly to the Humane Society, so if anyone would like to donate cash or items to them, Jake would love to have something to take to them when we visit! The FHS is a fantastic organization... they are a no-kill shelter who provides for and takes care of animals until they can find them a loving home. Whether you're looking for a good cause to give to, a place to volunteer, or are looking for a new pet, the Forsyth Humane Society needs you! 

Stacks of supplies! We had several large bags of kitten chow, cat chow, puppy chow, and dog chow... as well as paper towels, toilet paper, quart ziploc bags, bleach, and trash bags. The FHS uses Purina brand for all the food, to keep it consistent for the animals.  

Yay! It all fit in the back of our SUV! 

Jake was so excited to be here! He had been waiting for this for months! 

This dog's name is Jacob! Jake was excited to meet a dog with his namesake. :) 

This is Princess. She just looked so stinkin' sweet! Wish we could have taken her home! 

Jake spent some time with the cats, too! There were some ADORABLE tiny kittens running around playing when we were there! Jake loved to hold them... when he could catch them! :) 

Emily, one of the super nice FHS volunteers, let Jake walk a couple of the dogs with her. He loved every minute of it! I think the dogs were happy to have a little boy to play with, too! 

This is Diamond. Jake absolutely loved her. He spent most of his time in her play area with her. He really got a kick out of it when she was chasing her tail! She was a beautiful and sweet dog. We hope she has found a loving home!
