Michigan Animal Rescue League hosts its 14th Annual ‘Tail-Wagger Two-Step? Walk For The Animals & Adoption Event 9 a.m.-1 p.m., Sunday, May 20, Independence Oaks Park, Twin Chimneys Picnic Site, 9501 Sashabaw Road.
New this year is ‘Pet Pavilion Adoption Event,? with dozens of dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens. Participation is not required to attend the Adoption Event.
‘My husband Richard and I and our two dogs Twinkie and Frisbee, both adopted from MARL, will be walking again this year to help raise some much needed money for the shelter, so they can keep saving pets just like they did for our two furry kids,? said Karen DeLorge of Clarkston.
Twinkie is a 5-year-old female Corgi mix, and Frisbee is a 3-year-old male Papillion mix.
‘Both dogs had very hard starts in life but that all changed when they both ended up at MARL, thank goodness,? DeLorge said. ‘With the help of the staff always giving a lot of love, care and many hours of rehabilitation to Twinkie and Frisbee to get them to trust humans again, both Twinkie and Frisbee are now doing great and have a forever home with my husband and I in Clarkston.?
Pledges can be mailed to Michigan Animal Rescue League, 790 Featherstone, Pontiac, MI, 48342, by May 31, Attn: Karen/Walk.
