At the end of April was the 5th anniversary of Addy, my Diva pooch, coming into our home. She quickly became part of our home and she really does think she owns the neighborhood. Here, you see her on the sofa…watching for golfers and grounds keepers. She is not to fond of them, but they keep the community in top shape.
I had never adopted a pet and cannot recommend it enough. They really give back to you so much.
The Delaware SPCA is a private non-profit organization that is 140 years old. It is the oldest animal welfare organization in the state of Delaware.
The local Georgetown Shelter is a very active shelter. They promote their dogs and take them to many events throughout the Delaware Beaches. It is located at 22918 Dupont Blvd. in Georgetown, Delaware, 19947. Tel. 302-856-6361. You may also visit http://www.delspca.org. You can even call them and tell them what you are looking for.
Besides adoptions, they offer Spay/Neuter clinics, vaccination clinics and hope that you will also call them if you suspect any cruelty to an animal….they have an investigation’s department.
The Delaware SPCA does not receive state or county funding, and there is no national SPCA. They count on just local donations to carry on their work for the animals.
So, Alice and I decided that for the animals we were going to join in the First Annual Zumbathon at the Rehoboth Beach YMCA, on Sunday, 5/4. We joined about another 50 particpants and took over their gym for a 2-hour fitness party.
They had a silent auction, a 50/50 raffle, and door prizes. Everyone started the Zumbathon with great energy. Plenty of instructors took over the lead during the 2 hour fitness party. Some of us took breaks but then got back into it.
It was well attended and I imagine that they will continue to have it, after so many came in even on a sunny day in Rehoboth Beach.
Have a good one!!
