Printable Memories Is Proud To Sponsor An Event for Animal Resuce

Waggin' Trails, an animal rescue and transport provider, is hosting "Rescue Roundup", a fundraising event benefitting Waggin" Trails and their partner organization, A Leg Up Rescue. This all-ages even it expected to draw 250+ guests and will offer and afternoon of fun activities including a silent auction, food and drink, musical entertainment, and more. There will also be entertainment especially for the kids with pony rides, a bounce house, craft projects, and horseshoe decorating.

Tickets are $25 and all proceeds will go to Waggin" Trails Transport and A Leg Up Rescue. A Leg Up Rescue is a nonprofit organization that rescues companion animals such as dogs and cats from abuse, neglect, euthanasia in shelters, and other life-threatening circumstances. This lifesaving organization pairs these abused and neglected animals with caring foster families who provide training, quality care, and most importantly, friendship and healing. Waggin" Trails was established in response to the rising number of homeless animals in California, and provides transport from crowded shelters to less-impacted shelters in Oregon, Washington, and Western Canada. Working together, Waggin' Trails and A Leg Up Rescue provide animals with the care they need and ensure that each animal is paired with a caring, permanent home.

Brian Cash, owner of Printable Memories, is one of the sponsors of Rescue Roundup. "As an animal lover with multiple rescued pets, it breaks my heart to see any animal abused or neglected. These organizations are doing great work in making sure pets find a permanent home with individuals or families that understand that owning a pet is a real commitment. I am proud to support their mission." Printable Memories will be offering the very popular personalized photo blanket as an auction item. "My hope is we will be personalizing the blankets with photos of rescued animals," says Brian.

Rescue Roundup will be held on Saturday, April 7th at the Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center. For more information, visit the event website: http://www.waggintrails.org/rescue_roundup.html
