FOSTER A FURRY FRIEND FOR THE FOURTH

The 4th of July is super fun—but not for our pets. They don’t like big booms and screaming rockets. The LB Animal Shelter admissions surge prior to and directly after the 4th as they try to house all of the pets that have fled to escape the ruckus. But the shelter is already over capacity. And that’s where you come in.

YOU can foster a dog or cat (for a minimum of 30 days), and help make space for all of the displaced animals during the Independence Day holiday.

While fostering, the shelter will provide you with food, bowls, beds, litter pans, crates, and any necessary medical care. Shelter staff then sets about getting those buckets of love back to their rightful owners and forever homes.

IMPORTANT: “Foster the 4th” is coordinated by appointment only.

IT'S DAD'S TURN!

Father’s Day falls on Sunday, June 21st. Hey, know what your dad really wants you to get him? No. No, not that either. And no golf calendars or clocks with plastic tools on them. And for the love of Ike, DO NOT BUY HIM A TIE. He hasn’t worn one since 1995. He wants you to take him to Berth 55 and buy him a swinging seafood dinner.

Got sibs? Well, get them in on this stellar idea. But keep in mind that if YOU pick up the check, you will finally be his favorite. For that day. Probably. Are you seriously still debating this? Free parking, fresh air, and awesome seafood? You think he’d rather have a shirt?

Look, here’s your chance to get this Fathers’ Day right. Don’t blow it. Not again. And bringing him here is a boffo opportunity for you to make him proud. Sure, there are other ways, but they’re harder to accomplish and not as yummy. Nuf said. See you then!
