Joplin Adoption Event This Weekend (Jun 25-26)

Mods, I wasn't sure where to place this, so please move it elsewhere if you deem appropriate.  I don't know how many of you are interested and/or able to attend this event, so I'm posting it. 

As for me, I've got a full house and live a wee bit too far away.  But, I hope if anyone adopts from the Joplin event they'll come here and tell us about it.

It’s almost here—the huge Joplin adoption event is this weekend! On June 25 and 26, the Joplin Humane Society and the ASPCA invite you to hop in the car, head to Joplin and adopt one of the hundreds of animals left homeless by the May 22 tornado that devastated the town.

Last week, News Alert readers learned that the dogs available for adoption in Joplin come in every shape and size, and that they did extremely well on their behavior evaluations. But what about the cats? June is Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat Month, after all, and tons of snuggle-able, lovable felines—both kittens and affectionate adults—are available in Joplin.

Yay?  Now what about helping those that actually matter: the people?

Ever hear of multi-tasking?  Adopting an animal doesn't automatically exclude one from donating time or money to organizations that help people.

Exactly.  Our company raised money to outfit our PD deparment's K9 unit with bullet proof vests.  We get pictures and updates all the time.  Helping dogs help people.
