Puppy Petting Day at Especially for Pets in Acton
On Saturday, October 6, Especially
for Pets in Acton was the place to be! Neads (National Education for
Assistance Dog Services) and some of its puppies-in-training were at the
Acton store for a Puppy Petting Day to socialize the pups.
Customers were happy to bring their pooches and kids in to meet the pups
and to help socialize them. Joyce Schmitt, a staff member from NEADS
was at the store with a Golden Retriever puppy, Kula, who recently came
from his puppy raiser in Vermont. Kula had just started his advanced
training the week before the event. Another pup in training, Chase,
was on site visiting with Susan Evans, a 'pups on parole' socializer.
Susan's job is to socialize puppies being raised by inmates. Also
on hand was Mary Solis, with her dog, Larry, a recent graduate. All
the dogs were very well behaved and enjoyed meeting all of our customers
and their dogs!
The highlight of the day was when Amy Lord, Acton Store Manager, presented
NEADS with a $3,000 check. Especially for Pets' grooming staff, from
all four stores, raised the money by providing nail clipping services in
exchange for donations to NEADS. Especially for Pets was proud to
make this significant donation to such a worthwhile organization.
