"Woofstock" ....An Update!
Woofstock really went to the dogs in a good way on Saturday, June 14th at Beech Lake at Woofstock '08 - A Rally to Rescue. It was sponsored by a group we are proud to be involved with - Companion Pet Rescue (CPR) of West Tennessee. They, along with two other rescue groups in our area, put on a fun festival on the shores of Beech Lake in Lexington raising awareness on a variety of animal issues.
Look at this adorable face!!
There were so many precious dogs and cats there many of whom are ready for adoption. Thank you to the area for their support of this event and to the media in West Tennessee for helping us spread the word especially WBBJ - TV and WYN 106.9 in Jackson. Animal rescue folks are a brave and tireless group of people dedicated to helping dogs and cats who cannot help themselves. Their stories of sad beginnings and happy endings are amazing!
