On Saturday I had the pleasure of representing the Ark at the first Pennies for Paws Kick-off event. The day began with us setting up our booth in Parkway Place Mall. 
This event was a fundraiser to collect pennies for our animals. As many of you know we are a no-kill shelter and we make sure all animals at our shelter has their shots, is spayed/neutered, and is up to date on their monthly heartworm preventative and frontline protection. 
These services don't come cheap and without city, county, state or federal funding, we rely on our very gracious community to help keep the Ark afloat.This will be an ongoing event for the entire year. We have asked folks in our community to remember the Ark by
saving their pennies for us. Many folks came by the booth during the kick-off and dropped lots of pennies for our animals. Even some precious children graciously donated their savings and allowances as well as started collections at their local school to help the Ark animals.

The Ark is blessed to have so many wonderful and supportive people in our community. No donation is too small to the animals at the Ark!
A big "Thank You" from all of the Ark animals and volunteers to all of you that came by and supported us by donating. Also a special "Thank You" to those who have decided to continue collecting at their work and businesses all year. We are so grateful to all of you!
