Sorry Sherry: Just saw your message about the hotels. Not sure if you found a place to stay. There are lots of hotels in the area we have stayed at over the last 6 years. If you are bringing a pet if it harder to find a place, but you can try the Super 8 and Motel 6.
Okay cool, I'll book that one tomorrow. Do most people stay on the 20th too and get together after Awareness Day or just the night before get together?
It's going to be creepy being so close to the puppy mills and not being able to get the dogs out of there!
My group and I are scheduled for a huge protest this Saturday! Were also doing a billboard on our local highway! :)
Are you coming with or without a pet? If without then I suggest the Fairfield Inn in Lancaster. Some of the awareness day group is staying there. http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/lnsfi-fairfield-inn-lancaster/
I've been helping with animal rescue for years now. I adopted all 4 of my little baby boys through petfinder. I flew to Florida from NH on 3 seperate occassions. Last time, came back with two. Just couldn't leave this special little one eyed boy behind... Blazer, Stoney, Spirit and Spunky. :) 3 Pekingese and 1 Shih Tzu. My Shih Tzu is my favorite but don't tell my other boys that. LOL.
I learned about the horrors of Puppy Mills from the Oprah Show! I am a changed person since that day. From that moment I knew this was a wrong I could NOT ignore. I've been protesting our local pet stores every other weekend since! Were now fund raising for a billboard with Jana Kohl's print from her bus for the billboard....... The Petland store owner wants to meet with me. My vet, a Peta member and the head of New Hampshire Animal Rights League will all be present. Our goal is to encourage Mr. Korek, (have a better name for him but I'll be respectful), the store owner to stop selling puppies and agree to work with local shelters and rescues. I just came back from Taking Action for Animals Conference in DC with HSUS lobbying on Capitol Hill against these houses of horror..... I won't rest until this greedy industry is put out of business!!! Love to all of you who are fighting the fight....
