Coastal Pet Rescue – March Update

Pet-a-Palooza is Coming!
This June, CPR will have our first Pet-a-Palooza concert event. This event is being presented by the CPR Community Council and will take place at Molly McGuire’s on Wilmington Island. Sponsorships are now being accepted. We’ll let you know soon on the exact date, but we hope you’ll join us for the fun! Tickets will be $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under.

DONATIONS NEEDED!
This year has brought us so many great pets already, but quite a few of them needed extra medical care. While several of the special needs pets have found homes, CPR is still left paying the bills. We would love to be able to take in more pets, but we need more donations coming in to make that happen. With $25, we can provide flea and heartworm preventative for one foster dog, with $50 we can spay a cat, with $75 we can neuter a dog, and with $100 we can provide full shots and veterinary exam for one canine. Feel free to use our Donate Now button or mail donations to: Coastal Pet Rescue, PO Box 30462, Savannah, GA 31410. We appreciate all the support.

Event Volunteers Needed
We are looking for more volunteers to help us with adoption days and special events. All details are posted on our volunteers message board at least two weeks in advance of the date. Here’s your chance to get involved and help us to change more lives. Learn more about being a Coastal Pet Rescue volunteer by reading our online volunteer handbook.
