There will also be opportunities for naming rights when an individual or business sponsors kennel space for a homeless dog or cat. Photographer Sandi Bruegger of Sandi Bruegger Design will be at the sneak peek giving away a complimentary portrait session during the event for you and your furry friend.
According to Partners for Pets founder, Lisa McCormick, Since 2002, we have saved over 12,000 animals from euthanasia while operating from a 1,200 sq. ft. building. Due to the challenge to serve the growing number of abandoned dogs and cats, we have used our limited funding to start our new shelter. In addition to adoptions, we at Partners for Pets are active proponents of spay and neuter campaigns in the St. Louis region. In 2014, euthanasia rates fell by 25% at Madison County Animal Control, a positive indication that we are making a difference by decreasing the number of unwanted animals in our area. All tax deductible donations and community support will directly serve animals in need through the Partners for Pets New Shelter Project.
All proceeds collected during the sneak peek will benefit the construction of the new community animal shelter. For more information about the event or about Partners for Pets, visit them online at http://www.partnersforpetsil.org/, or find them on Facebook.
