Your News: 'Holy Muttromony' ceremony to highlight need for pet adoptions

Join Brooke’s Legacy Animal Rescue Volunteers as they host the Bow Wow Vows of two in-rescue dogs during a Holy Muttromony ceremony on Saturday, July 26, 2008, starting at 2:00 p.m., at Petco in Naples, 6424 Naples Blvd.

“The goal is to raise awareness about abused, abandoned and neglected pets currently available for adoption through our rescue,” explains Brooke’s Legacy Founder Tink Betchol. “We want everyone to realize there is something they can do to help these animals whether that’s making a donation, volunteering, fostering, adopting a pet or making sure their current pets are spayed and neutered!”

Research shows that each year approximately 5 million to 9 million animals are euthanized (60 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats) in shelters across the nation. In fact, five out of ten dogs in shelters and seven out of ten cats in shelters are destroyed simply because there is no one to adopt them.

Brooke’s Legacy Animal Rescue, Inc. is nonprofit organization dedicated to providing loving forever homes for these such pets. Brooke’s pets enjoy basic medical care and are housed in foster homes to promote socialization.

The Holy Muttromony Ceremony will take place at 2 p.m. in Petco on Naples Blvd. with Rev. Arlene Ponack officiating the Bow Wow Vows. For more information on this event, please call 239-601-7548.
