Amid the month of love, 91原创 Animal Protection Society (LAPS) is encouraging people to show their fondness for the furry friends in their lives.
While the organization traditionally bakes treats for National Cupcake Day on Feb. 24 鈥� putting proceeds towards animal care 鈥� COVID has forced LAPS to get creative and fundraise in other ways.
Jayne Nelson, executive director of LAPS, said the entire month of February is dedicated to showering love (and donations) to animals in need.
鈥淭his year we are introducing a brand new event called Love All Pets,鈥� Nelson said. 鈥淭his event runs throughout the month of February 鈥� our goal is to show shelter animals the love they so deserve.鈥�
LAPS is hoping the community will join in and show their support for shelter animals and pets everywhere by registering as a team, individually or as a business 鈥� it is free 鈥� and help celebrate the love for all pets.
Funds raised will go to help support the medical care, adoption programs, and the work we are doing in the community.
鈥淧eople can also support us by visiting local businesses that are supporting the Love All Pets Month and make a $2 donation for a paper heart,鈥� Nelson added.
