A Five-Paw Event on October 20th:

We were at the Castle Rock Kings Soopers on October 20th from 9:00am-3:00pm and raised $630 in six hours!

The DFL "Pet Care-avan" was also there from 9-12:00. This special vehicle brings adoptable pets to shopping centers and community events throughout the Denver metro area. It is another way DFL can provide information about our programs and services and educate people about responsible pet care.

Please check back with us, we will be doing more of this and we'd like to see you...

A Christmas Wreath Silent Auction Five-Paw Event was held on December 6th, 2001.

There were 7 professionally decorated wreaths to bid on and, thanks to the talented generosity of those creating the wreaths (kudos for your efforts) and to the generous community residents who did the bidding - we sold 5 for a total of $475.

Thank you so much to all the people who contributed. A special "thanks" to the kind neighbor who hosted our auction in their home.
