The Kanapaha 5K-9 was definitely a big success! The event was held on Saturday, and it was our second major event of the semester. Because of its success, we’re looking forward to doing another 5K in the near future!
Last Wednesday, Feb. 23, we had a Pet Adoption Party at College Park, where we had about 30 people who stop by. We provided pizza, and Gainesville Pet Rescue brought two puppies from the same litter. We’re happy to announce that both of the featured pets were adopted that day as a result of the party, and they got to stay together! Also, because of the party and the 5K-9, several more pets have been adopted from Gainesville Pet Rescue!
One of the mini-events included in the Kanapaha 5K-9 was the silent auction, which earned $220 towards the Gainesville Pet Rescue.
Pledge 5 would like to thank everyone who made this event such a success! So thank you to all of the 119 people who ran at the 5K-9, as well as Gainesville Pet Rescue, all of our sponsors and everyone else who contributed to the 5K-9!
Don’t forget, though, the Pledge 5 Pet Supply and Adoption Drive is continuing until Saturday, March 5. We’re in need of canned pet food, pet toys and laundry detergent, among other pet supplies. So go to ApartmentsInGainesville.com for a list of pet-friendly communities or either of Gainesville’s Planet Beach locations to donate your pet supplies and receive a gift certificate in return for dog biscuits from Earth Pets Natural Pet Market or for a half-off discount on a home visit from Daytime Dogs. You can make a difference in an animal’s life today by donating!
