          Hello everyone, and welcome to the second blog entry for the Adventures of Meg and Duffy! Today, we would like to talk about an event that is near and dear to our hearts.

          If you go onto the "about this blog" page, you may have noticed that Duffy was rescued by a South Carolinian group named Project Safe Pet. However, many of you are probably wondering how Duffy made it to New Jersey in the first place. Basically, when Duffy and his litter were rescued by Project Safe Pet, the Monmouth County SPCA stepped in and brought them to their no-kill shelter in Eatontown, New Jersey. Duffy and his siblings would then find loving owners, including my family!

These people were the best when they took care of Duffy!

          On the 27th of April, the Monmouth County SPCA will be hosting their 25th anniversary Dog Walk and Pet Fair. This event will be held from 10 AM to 3 PM at Brookdale Community College, and will feature live music, food trucks, vendors, contests, campus walks, and pets that the Monmouth County SPCA has for adoption. However, we would like to stress that the Monmouth County SPCA is still looking for walk participants. If you are interested, you can still register on their website and begin raising money.

Thomas's Thoughts

          If you happen to live near Monmouth County and love pets, I believe that you owe it to yourself to go to this event. Before adopting Duffy, I mostly remained indifferent about sheltered dogs. This is mostly due to years of watching the dog show at Thanksgiving, and admiring the carefully-bred canines. However, Duffy was able to show me that an adopted dog can provide the same amount of companionship that a dog from a breeder provides. As such, I believe that it is important that people help animal shelters at any chance. By doing so, pet owners can enjoy a sense of fulfillment that they get from their pet while helping to control the stray pet epidemic.

          Another thing I like about this event is that the walk isn't the only fundraising activity. As a result the Dog Walk and Pet Fair is an event that feels welcoming to all types of event goers. Whether you want to join the walk or buy something from the vendors, one can feel satisfied knowing that both activities help the Monmouth County SPCA. No matter what, we hope that you can make it to this event!

Here's a video of the event from a few years ago. Who wouldn't want to go to an event like this???

Duffy's Thoughts

          The Monmouth County SPCA has a lot of sentiment to me. When I was brought up to New Jersey, they treated me with love and respect. They're so great that they can make a hound dog smile. (In my case, literally!) As such, it would mean the world if y'all could make it to the Dog Walk and Pet Fair.

Meg's Thoughts
