Animal Adoptions during the Tour


Dallas Animal Services will have a table at the White Rock East Garden and Artisans Tour.   They will be located at the plant sale (across the street from the 8407 San Pedro Garden).  Helping with adoptions will be Rebecca Poling from Companions For Life.  Following is a paragraph about them.  I'm hoping there will be lots of interest and hopefully adoptions.

Companions For Life was formed to fill the most obvious and significant gaps in the animal welfare movement in our community - humane education and shelter outreach.  An all-volunteer, 501 c3 non-profit organization, it is our belief that by providing humane education and shelter outreach we can elevated the role of companion animals in our society and bridge the gaps in animal welfare in our community and nationwide.  Our goal is to provide the public with the necessary education to be respectful and responsible toward all animals and to build in them the confidence to teach others the importance of compassion.  Our shelter outreach programs will provide shelter workers, rescue group volunteers, animal control officers, veterinarians, kennel managers and animal welfare professionals across the Metroplex with the resources they need to do their jobs, to meet their goals, to improve their standing in their community and to earn the respect and admiration they deserve.  For more information, http://www.companionsforlife.org.
