It's that time of year again, the Central Vermont Humane Society's Walk for Animals on Saturday June 10.  This year's event will return to the State House Lawn in Montpelier.  Why do I fundraise for this event each year?  It's a way to acknowledge CVHS's commitment to the animals and the community; to say "thank you" and pay it forward.  

CVHS is a steady presence in the community, providing peace of mind for those who find themselves unable to continue caring for a beloved animal companion and shelter to the homeless and abandoned. Each year, they provide care for  approximately 1000 animals and go the extra mile to do whatever it takes to prepare each one for adoption into a new family.  Care and compassion are evident in everything they do and thoughtful match-making finds the right fit for each animal and adoptive family.  

Charlie and Mariah ( "the twins") came to me via CVHS in July 2012.  They were kittens in need of a few weeks of foster care before they were ready for adoption.  We recently celebrated their 11th birthdays and I'm so very grateful they decided to stay.  They bring me joy every day.  

Please join me in supporting CVHS as they care for these animals in need, preparing them to join our families and enrich our lives.  Many of them need extensive care and adoption fees don't begin to cover the costs.  I will match the first $1500 in donations so that we'll have a gift of at least $3000.  Thank you.

With gratitude,

Pam, Mariah and Charlie
