We would like to thank all of the volunteers that came out and supported Fairy Tails at our Spring Adopt a Pet event at Petco.
If you were there, you know that it was a very busy day and we appreciate all of your help. We were fortunate to have a Miami Herald reporter come to the event and the story was published in the Neighbors section, April 20th. Three animals were adopted out to great homes, Freckles, puppy Adonis, and a cream kitten that had been dropped off that day. Several volunteers and customers also got their picture drawn by the caricature artist!
"Every event, foremost, is about adoption, good homes and awareness". This is our mission.

Donna and Barbara visited the students at Educational Alternatives, a school for exceptional children in Miami. They brought along some very special dogs and cats, and even a chinchilla. Cheyenne, our blind and beautiful 2 year old cattle dog, and a rescue from New Orleans, was a favorite of the students, and gave them kisses. It is hard to tell she is blind at all.  Fat Actress, our sweet cocker spaniel with only one eye, walked around the children off leash. She is a great dog to have around kids, she moves slow and she is loving and very friendly. Thumper the kitty, who has no hind legs, was the show off, walking around without a problem, proving that no matter what you are dealt with in life, you can be successful in whatever you choose to do. Wolfie, our beautiful cat with Feline Aids, Dixie the pup and Chi Chi the chinchilla were also special guests that the students just adored. Along with the hands on fun, the students were taught the lessons of how to approach and pet a dog and also that there are no "throwaway" dogs, cats or people, despite their appearance. It was a rewarding day for all.

We had our Valentine's Day Adoption Fair, at Petco in Kendall, featuring Simone and Elvis impersonators.  The real Simone and Elvis are celebrated cats and stars of their own book, Simone and Elvis - Favorite Feline Fables, a compilation of illustrated tales that explore everyday life lessons. (www.simoneandelvis.com) Impersonator cat, Simone, was lucky to be adopted, as was one of the adorable puppies. Our volunteers worked extra hard walking the dogs and passing out carnations and baked goods.
