Animal Rescue of Stokes County is planning for the 3rd Annual Music for Mutts fundraiser to be held at Central Park in King on Saturday, September 19, 2009.

There will be a live auction at the event and we are looking (begging) for quality auction items. If you are or have connections with artists, retailers, celebrities, etc. who may make a donation please help us out!

Also, save the date because there will be bands, food, an inflatable bouncy, animal portraits, dog show, pony rides around the lake and more! Bring your pet and join the fun! I will send flyers once they become available.

Please help support the efforts to be the voice for those who have none.
