Young Republicans Golf Outing Raises $2,500 For Animal Welfare League

The Kosciusko Young Republicans organization recently held their fundraising golf outing to benefit the Animal Welfare League shelter pets.
The second annual event was held at Stonehenge Golf Course with a luncheon for all the participants, according to a provided news release.
"We hope to bring more awareness to how important is to ‘adopt and not shop’ for pets. When you adopt from the Animal Welfare League, your pet will already have had all vaccines, spay/neuter, microchipped, flea and tick and any other necessary healthcare,” said Vice Chair Mikie Crate. “There are so many wonderful animals looking for their forever homes in our AWL shelter. Our club looks forward to working with AWL for future events!"
Right now, the Animal Welfare League has 453 pets in their care, including fosters. If you do not want to adopt, bring in family, friends or co-workers to socialize cats and walk dogs. All these shelter pets deserve to have human interaction, the release states.
“We are so appreciating the Young Republicans’ $2,500 donation for the second year in a row. It’s donations like this that help us to provide the necessary care for these homeless pets,” said AWL Executive Director Tonya Blanchard. “Once again, it is that time of year when our shelter continues to have record-breaking numbers. Last week we had 453 pets in our care including fosters. Our passionate staff keeps going because these pets absolutely need us.”
“It is another challenging year financially for AWL with the record numbers of pets in our care,” said AWL Board President John Lantz. “AWL continues to take in 40% more pets than are adopted. We very much appreciate the Kosciusko Young Republicans using their golf outing to support these shelter pets in our care. Thank you so very much!”
