Mom's birthday wish! Mom's birthday is August 29th, and she
is turning.... ooops, I can't tell you that! I asked her what she wants for
her birthday, and she said "I'd love if people donated to your surf dog
surf-a-thon fundraiser in honor of my birthday". She helps me so much
with all the work I do, I'd really like to grant her wish. If you'd
like to donate in honor of mom's birthday, click the donate button below.

On September 12, 2010, I surfed in the Helen
Woodward Animal Center's Surf Dog Surf-a-thon. This event was held to
raise funds and awareness for orphaned animals, while promoting responsible
pet ownership. With the help of my donors, I raised $3085!!
I was the highest fundraiser for the event, and in fact the highest
fundraiser from all five years they've been having the surf-a-thon! Thank
you for your support!!

FLOWER PAW'ER!
I wore a flower lei on the day of the surf contest, with flowers
representing the
paw'er we have to save lives by helping animals find forever homes!
Each flower represented a donation made to honor adopted pets.
The number of
flowers equaled the same number of lives that have been saved! Thank you
for being part of my flower paw'er
campaign!!

Home 4
the Holidays In 1999 Helen Woodward Animal Center organized 14 animal shelters in
San Diego County, California for the first, "Home 4 the Holidays" pet
adoption drive. Our goals were to encourage families to save lives by
adopting their pets and to take business away from puppy mills and backyard
breeders while shelter pets died. That holiday season the participating
shelters found loving families for 2,563 orphaned pets.
In its first ten years Iams
Home 4 the Holidays has united 3,278,267 orphaned pets with their new
families!
