Biketoberfest for 2009 has ended. But this coming this coming weekend, we now have... BARKtoberfest!  (^o^)

October is "Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog Month". And Humane Societies everywhere, but more importantly, the "residents" who are waiting for a new home, are hoping for plenty of support this month! And considering the month is almost over, some of them who are waiting for a new home, may be running out of time!

So on Saturday, October 24 (2009), from 10:00 a.m. til 2:00 p.m., the Daytona Beach, Halifax Humane Society is asking for your support. All they're asking is for you to stop by and drop off a can of pet food =) And I know I'll want to visit all the pets while I'm there too!

Even if you can't afford an addition to your family right now, I know these animals who are in desparate need of a home, will appreciate some extra attention and affection.  It can actually be a fun, and FREE way for you to spend some time on a day when you don't have any plans. When my daughter was younger, we used to enjoy the occasional visit to the Humane Society, just to talk to, and pet all the animals who were waiting for homes.  And of course, we adopted one of our cats from our Humane Society as well.  =^.^=  (The other one had been abandoned, so I took him home with me after finding him at a house whose owners had moved out and left him there! And he's so sweet!)

But back to the doggy month (^o^)... During "Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog Month", when you adopt a dog, it will only cost you $50 instead of the usual $70. Adopting from the Humane Society is such a great way to help these poor animals. If you think about it, the amount it would cost to buy a store-bought pet, then take it to the vet for it's shots, spaying or neutering, and general checkup, the $50 or even $70 Humane Society fee is just a drop in the bucket in comparison! And even better, the Humane Society has been watching these animals, and they already know the personality and temperament of each animal! I know this because they post specific info on each cage, or pen.

So please support your local Humane Society and other Animal Shelters. This Saturday, drop off a can of pet food to the Daytona Beach Halifax Humane Society between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. It costs so little for us, and saves so much money for the organizations who care for these unwanted pets, who did nothing to deserve what has happened to them.

I don't know if you're aware of this, but in this economy, and with so many people going through foreclosures, loss of wages, hardships, etc., many people have had to give up their family pets! Some just couldn't afford to care for them, while others, after losing their homes, have had to rent in places that did not allow pets! So our Humane Societies and other Animal Shelters are bursting at the seams with discarded animals! And this recession is making it difficult for the care-givers to provide for them as well! By adopting a pet, you could be saving it's life.

If you don't live in the Daytona Beach area, I'm sure your local Animal Shelters of all kinds, would appreciate your help as well. Although the Daytona Beach Humane Society is having a special day and time for "Bark-toberfest", I'm sure they would never turn away some donated food. And the animals wouldn't mind  that someone cared enough to just spend some time with them.

I hope to see you Saturday at the Daytona Beach, Halifax Humane Society! You might even make a new friend, with whom  you can share your love and affection (^o^)
