On Saturday, Dec. 4 I went to AnnaBelle's Pet Station in Lansing to attend the fundraiser Paws With Claus. This event was sponsored by MSU's PRSSA to help them raise money for their chapter, as well as money for the Ingham County Animal Control and Shelter.
The event allowed families and owners to bring in their dogs to get their picture taken with Santa Claus. People that brought in pets were asked to give a $10 donation to help raise money. The event raised a total of $680 and PRSSA split the money up so $340 went towards their chapter and the other $340 went to the shelter.
I thought this was an awesome event and I had a lot of fun attending and meeting other pet fanatics. I know if it were allowed and I hadn't of gone here to work on my project, I most definitely would have brought my cats in to get their picture taken. I then would have printed off the picture, framed it and would have given it to my mom for Christmas. She would have loved it. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do so, but I did learn a lot about why donating to our local shelter is important and why everyone should try and donate something.
