Thank you to Caron Olson, the organizer of the 2nd annual For Pets’ Sake Benefit, for the submitted information about Sunday’s event, from 1-5 at Olde Towne Athletic Club (4950 Olde Towne Parkway), where there’s free admission and parking:
We present a unique opportunity for animal lovers to come together and enjoy meeting rescue representatives and local crafters while raising funds and awareness for causes that support our furry friends. Attendees will enjoy a comfortable indoor ballroom setting with ample parking and an on-site restaurant. Admission is free.
The net proceeds from booth fees, sponsorships, gift basket raffles and other fundraising for this event will be divided equally among Georgia pet-related organizations including the following 501(c)(3) nonprofits:
*Cooper’s Cupboard is a pet food pantry whose mission is to provide temporary pet food assistance to families struggling financially. Their goal is to keep pets at home and out of shelters.
*Fancy Feline Rescue of the South is a small no-kill cat rescue with a big heart for the “Fancy Feline” breeds—particularly Persian, Himalayan, Siamese, Exotic, Ragdoll, Birman, Maine Coon and other CFA/TICA-recognized breeds and mixes.
*Mutt Madd-ness is a no-kill rescue made up of community volunteers dedicated to saving dogs whose lives are in jeopardy. Their pups come from high-risk facilities and are cared for both emotionally and physically by foster families prior to adoption into loving homes.
*PAWSitive Supporters was founded to help the Cobb County Animal Shelter with enriching the lives of the dogs and cats while at the shelter. The current focus is to provide low- and no-cost spay/neuter services to the Cobb County community.
*Trinity Horse Rescue provides sanctuary, rehabilitation, and rehoming for unwanted, abandoned, neglected or abused horses within Georgia and the Southeast.
