Mingus Manor Animal Sanctuary exists to provide lifetime care and a safe, loving and secure home for senior and special needs dogs and cats. While still able to lead quality lives, they are unable to find a permanent home due to their age, illness or handicaps. These wonderful creatures will receive food, shelter, medical treatment and all the love and attention they need and deserve for the rest of their lives.
Gumby is 6 years old. A local shelter decided Gumby was un-adoptable because of birth defects to his legs. Defects of front and back legs on his right side force him to hop on his 2 left legs. He has 1 leg that is about 2" longer than all his other legs. His defects do not slow him down at all as he runs, jumps and plays like a normal dog - he loves his new toys! But Karen has taken him in and the little guy seemed to have a blast at the event tonight.
The highlight of tonights event was a silent auction, which I contributed to and of course had to participate in by winning an auction item or two. I offered up a free photo session AND a canvas gallery wrap! I cant wait to meet the winner and schedule their session.
Now I can't wait until the 2nd Annual Dining w/ the Dogs happens so I can place some more of those silent bids!
Amy-Great job and for a wonderful cause. Your display looks fantastic!
ReplyDeletelooks like you had a wonderful time and your write up is really sweet... just like you.
ReplyDeleteWe so enjoyed sitting with you, chatting and getting acquainted last night at Dining With The Dogs! Even though I didn't win the silent auction for your photography package, Sparky is looking forward to meeting you sometime in the next few months so you can capture his "handsomeness" and we can help out further towards a great cause, Mingus Manor, with 25% of our order being donated to Karen and the "seniors" .. :o)
