Get ready for the 1st Annual Saving Grace Walk against Animal Abuse Saturday, October 26 On Saturday, October 26th Leesville Road High School’s DECA chapter, in association with Saving Grace Animals for Adoption, will hold the First Annual Saving Grace Walk against Animal Abuse. The event will consist of a 2 ½ mile walk around Lake Lynn, a ½ mile senior dog walk, a silent auction, and a raffle. One hundred percent of the profits from the walk go directly to Saving Grace Animals for Adoption. Saving Grace is a non-profit, 501-C3 organization dedicated to helping homeless animals in our community find permanent, loving homes where they will be treated as family members for the rest of their lives. Saving Grace has made over 5,000 trips to rural shelters to rescue and give hope to dogs that might otherwise have been euthanized. This wonderful organization also helps to stop puppy mills throughout North Carolina. Puppy Mills force dogs of all kinds to breed litter after litter in appalling conditions. Dogs in Puppy Mills can be found in exceptionally congested areas lying in their own waste, starving, ill, and infected with parasites. Saving Grace is working hard to save the lives of dogs everywhere and help those animals who seemed to have no future, find the perfect home. The goal of this walk is to raise money and awareness for Saving Grace Animals for Adoption. In order for this to happen we need your help! By attending this walk you will raise money and awareness for this fantastic organization so that they can save the lives of even more dogs. You will also receive a goody bag, t-shirt, and bandanna.
