Our Costume for Today's Paw Pawty!

Today's Paw Pawty was a great success! I posted a picture on the left of our "costume." We were so excited to get the chance to DJ and help raise money & awareness for a great cause. The benefiting organization was The Pet Samaritan Fund. They are a nonprofit organization established in 1991, aids needy animals mainly on the Wasatch Front and Utah Basin. They are not operated or funded by any national humane groups or government agencies and must rely on adoptions fees and contributions.

Every penny they raise goes to caring for their animals.

They provide:

•Shelter and medical care for animals taken into their foster program until permanent homes can be found. Most of their animals are from municipal shelters.

•Assistance to spay and neuter animals for low-income families in the local area.

We had a blast playing DJ. The theme of the paw pawty was "anipal Olympics" so the play list I chose was composed from songs from the iPod play lists of US Olympians. I posted my play list below (with the Olympian & their sport in parenthesis) in case anyone is interested!
