Rock and Rescue 2008
There was a 'Whole Lotta Shaking Going On' at the 1st Annual Rock and Rescue
Setup for the event was a bit of a challenge with some light rain and strong winds, but the day turned out to be a very good one with many adoptions taking place. The total number of adoptions for this event was 39. We would like to thank all those who adopted a rescue pet.
OAA would like to thank the public for supporting the rescue groups that participated. To continue our mission of reducing the pet overpopulation, we need public support. When it's time to add a fourlegged member to the family, please adopt a rescue pet. If a new family member is not in your immediate future, please donate to a rescue organization. Your donation will help provide programs that address pet overpopulation issues.
