Hey Everyone!

I have received a few phone calls and visits this afternoon, so I wanted to post this here for those of you who are still wondering: Yes, responsible Dog Ownership day has been cancelled. The following is a statement from Mary LouPohlman of NWA Kennel Club:

We have decided to cancel Responsible Dog Ownership Day due to the threat of heavy rain and thunderstorms this weekend. I want to thank all of you for your willingness to participate in this event which serves to educate the public on the importance of responsible dog ownership and celebrates the joy our canine companions bring to our lives.

The Northwest Arkansas Kennel Club wishes to express a special thank you to Rick Carthel of Invisible Fence for the generous donation made in honor of Responsible Dog Ownership to The Humane Society for Animals, Thank you Rick!

Thank you everyone, please keep safe this weekend.

Sincerely,

Mary Lou Pohlmann

Northwest Arkansas Kennel Club

Also, I wanted to alert everyone to a need in our community: The Bella Vista Animal Shelter is in desperate need of dog food. Apparently all the donated food they usually receive from Wal-Mart is now being earmarked to go to animal vicitms of the recent hurricanes, which leaves the Bella Vista shelter with only enough dog food for approximately 3 days. If you can help, please donate dry food or money to the Bella Vista Animal Shelter. You can donate in person by visiting the shelter at 32 Bella Vista Way or you can call (479) 855-6020. Read the full article in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette.

Lots of Love,
Erin
