| SEPTEMBER 16, 2011 -- A “Gala for Puppy Mill Rescue,” sponsored by Second Chance Animal Rescue of Connecticut, is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 17, from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Norfield Grange on Goodhill Road in Weston.
Donation fees are $25 for adults ($35 at the door) and $10 for children.
The special event will offer appetizers, gourmet pizza by the Big Green Pizza Truck, live music by the Nat Schroeder Trio, a raffle, silent auction, door prizes, and more.
This year the event features a special live auction item: Five days/four nights at the Westin Beaver Creek in Avon, Colo.
“Our goal is to buy a new transport vehicle with gala proceeds,” said Janet Schroeder, director of Second Chance Animal Rescue of CT. “With a new van, we can save more than 200 dogs a month. Through this event, and the support of the community, we will educate consumers about the terrible conditions in puppy mills and generate significant donations so that we can make a positive difference in the lives of these innocent creatures.”
Second Chance Animal Rescue of CT is a 501(c)3 registered not-for-profit organization, dedicated to rescuing dogs from Missouri puppy mills and providing them with thorough vetting, social rehabilitation, and loving adoptive homes.
