“Paws for Thoughts” donation drive

Good news for the pet lovers. Paws for thoughts, a new organization came forward to rescue the roadside animals with shelter, food, security and training in the city of London.

The organization is a Non-profit organization that aims to rescue the animals that are found lying roadside. The organization announced an event on 31^st April 2017 (8:00 hrs- 16:30 hrs) with the presence of public figure “Sylvester Stallone “as the chief guest.

A pet show, lifetime free membership programme for first ten members and Donation drive campaign are scheduled for the event. The refreshments and lunch will be provided free.

The event will be held at “The western maitrise” where the chief guest will be inaugurating the pet show of the rescued animals followed by distribution of lifetime memberships and a donation drive. I think the pet show and the donation drive will be great for a day to be spent. It will be great to have Sylvester Stallone addressing public to create awareness.

It will be interesting to see the organisation working in action and rescuing pets. Let’s see how they carry out their great motive and how they do in the future. Since it is for a good reason my best wishes are with them. To check more about the event check this out
