Hi,
I am a volunteer with Wee Waggin’ Rescue, Inc. and we plan on attended this gala event. We are a very small rescue and would greatly appreciate if you mention us in future press releases. We can use all the help possible to bring public awareness to our little rescue.
Thank you,
Brenda Stelzer, volunteer
