I got an e-mail from someone wanting me to talk about a special week coming up in Alabama, and this week is for the animals! The 6th Annual Alabama Week for the Animals will be celebrated from February 14-22, 2015! During the extraordinary governor-proclaimed week by Governor Bentley, animal shelters, rescue groups, educational institutions and humane organizations across the state will be hosting wonderful animal-related special events that will be saving lives, building relationships, helping animals and strengthening communities. Educators, students, businesses and caring citizens across the state will be joining in to celebrate and help animals.
Events will include pet adoption events, low cost spay/neuter & vaccination events, Valentine’s Day promotions, Book display and R.E.A.D. dog programs in libraries, children’s book donations, horse adoption/help with supplies events, pet food donations, farm animal events, volunteer thank you get-togethers, wildlife center activities and therapy animals visiting hospitals and living-assisted homes.
Also to be included are a salute to our working K-9 and handlers, search & rescue orgs, vegetarian meetups, low cost vaccinations, drive to help winterize shelters, help cats, educational events and fun-filled activities for families to enjoy friendship, food, music on behalf of the always amazing animals.
