This week's article of interest...
Do Pets really Go To The Bathroom?
By Terry Reflex
We have a way for you to help the animals
that could return the favor. For a $50 contribution, you could win $5000 or a trip for 2 to Hawaii. To find out
more, read the rules, or purchase a ticket online (buy 2 get one free!), just go to
http://www.humanesocietycc.org/raffle.html. Take a chance so the animals can have a
chance. It's for a great cause, and it could pay off for all concerned.
Today's single ticket odds of winning: 1 in 263 (not bad!)
Troy
is an 8 year old male Min Pin. Though he's 8, he's like a little kid, happy and without a care in the world.
He is energetic and loving as well. A bit of a diet wouldn't hurt, but we're working on that!
Call us at (301) 645-8181 after 11am (after 1pm on Thursdays) for more information, or visit our other cats and dogs that need a home ... at the Humane Society!
