Doggone good cause
Exactly one month ago, my husband and I welcomed a new addition to our family – the four-legged kind.
Carly is the perfect dog: She’s playful, social and gentle. She seems to think the dog park is as much for sniffing and chasing the other dogs as it is for wagging her tail at people’s feet for belly rubs.
She’s smart, too – housebroken in three weeks and just about crate-trained in four.
But when we first got Carly, she was very timid. She was scared of being in a new place, on top of fighting an upper respiratory infection and a case of ringworm. And that was after the Pets & People Humane Society ran up a $250 vet bill just to keep the small Dachsund-Sheltie mix alive.
On Saturday, the shelter is having a silent auction with dinner and live entertainment to raise money for them to continue their work. They still are looking for new and gently used items to sell at the event, which will be at 7 p.m. in the Dale Robertson Center in Yukon.
To donate items or for more information, call 350-PETS.
