Wagging P.A.L.S.

Pets Adopt
Loving Seniors

The "Wagging PALS" project is a brand new initiative that when implemented will match shelter animals with seniors living in alone in Frederick county.  Wags for Hope will subsidize part of the care and feeding of the animal if necessary.  Seniors tend to have more time on their hands to devote to the love and care of their pets, and pets have all the time in the world to give that love right back.  We are building an implementation plan for this project and hope to place our first pet in early 2009.

Click the above button to donate to this wonderful cause.  All donations are tax deductible and you would be helping a senior in Frederick county enjoy the companionship of a wonderful pet.  If you would rather send a check, you may mail it to Wags for Hope, PO Box 1279, Frederick, MD 21702 - memo: 'Wagging PALS'.  Either way, thank you so much!
