We have a heartwarming tail - er, tale - for the holidays, thanks to our friends at Summerland Gardens.
You see, many months ago, Julie McIntyre - owner of Summerland Gardens - started collecting donations for her friend's dog, Sparkle. Catherine 'Chi' Leary's Wire Fox Terrier is diabetic and had developed cataracts.
But then Chi found out that Sparkle's operation was going to cost way more than they could ever hope to raise - $7,000 per eye. And since Sparkle was perfectly happy with her quality of life, Chi and Julie decided to do something else worthy of the Summerland customers' kindness: they decided to donate the funds to Safe Place for Pets!
Needless to say, we are very excited to be the lucky recipients of this thoughtful gift. To say thank you, we are having a little celebration on Tuesday, Dec. 14th at 5:30 p.m., when Summerland Gardens will present their generous check to representatives from Safe Place for Pets. Please join us for a cup of cheer and some holiday sweets! We appreciate your RSVP to info@safeplacepets.org and look forward to seeing you on Tuesday evening.
