Description:
Professional Pet Sitters of Minnesota is sponsoring WishBones. Proceeds will go to Second Chance Animal Rescue. Visit www.secondchancerescue.org to see the animals for adoption and to view their wish list. PPSMN is an association of pet sitting business owners dedicated to promoting the welfare of all animals and raising the standards of the pet sitting industry through example, education and cooperation. “Through the WishBones for Pets program, we hope to generate an awareness of homeless animals in our community, and the important role that shelters and rescues serve in helping these animals find homes and have happy and healthy lives. It’s an effective way to improve the quality of life for rescue animals and to recognize the loving care that the hard working caregivers provide. This is a great way for all animal lovers to get involved and make a positive difference.” More info: contact Grace through email: grace@petbuddyplus.com
