MARCH IS HEATING UP WITH SOME GREAT EVENTS
 Rabbit Party! Saturday, March 6 11:00am-3:00pm Wayland Here are a few of the highlights:
With Easter approaching, many families consider adopting a rabbit. Visit volunteers from The House Rabbit Network (HRN) at one of their information days in March to educate yourself and your family about this important decision. Learn about volunteer opportunities, fostering or general rabbit care. They will have information about rabbits available for adoption, but will not adopt out at offsite events. All events take place at our stores from Noon-3:00pm.
They are an organization formed with two primary purposes: to rescue homeless rabbits and find them good indoor homes and also to educate the public about rabbits and their care. These activities may include:

Volunteer puppy raisers provide these specially bred puppies a safe home, take them to obedience classes, serve up a healthy diet, provide socialization opportunities and give lots of love. Each hour spent caring for a CCI puppy is vital to its development as a future assistance dog. The puppy raising program provides a unique opportunity for volunteers to assist CCI with its very important mission. Please join us for a special presentation designed for prospective puppy raisers and volunteers. This presentation will include:
