Mike - I endorse and support any non-kill dog shelter and this is a wonderful event! I volunteer as a dog walker at my local shelter and it amazes me how many people abandon their dogs. I can't even comprehend it. If more people would adopt shelter dogs or use breeders, there would be no need to kill any dogs, and puppy mills would seize to exist!

I am a big fan of these folks, Sheila.  I try to support them in as many ways as possible over the year.  I'll be posting about a bike fundraiser soon.

Good for you, Kris. That's a great contribution to the shelter.  We've had two rescues in a row, and they have been awesome pets.  Briggs is a great operation and we try to give them as much help as possible.  Have a great Sunday.

Mike, I can't believe the entry fee is just $25.  Worthy cause.  They would appreciate this great shout out that you are delivering.
