Santa Paws Holiday Cheer Food & Toy Drive
Please join us in spreading a little holiday cheer to pups and kitties less fortunate than our own. Our dogs are so cherished and loved without a care in the world while others are homeless with no one to call their own. Since this is the season of giving, we'd like to give some of that love and care to those who need it the most. We are asking for donations of an unopened food or new toy item, anything you can spare, to give to the homeless dogs and cats at the Stafford County Animal Shelter - a group of animals who we feel have been overlooked and forgotten about this year in particular. All items can be deposited in the donation box located in our foyer. Collections will be taken from now until December 30.
Thanks in advance for your caring donation.

| Happy New Year Canine Fitness & Fun Day |
CANINE FITNESS & FUN PLAYDATE
Thursday, January 1, 2010
NEW YEAR'S DAY!!!!
12:00 - 3:00pm
3 HOURS OF PURE FUN FOR BOTH YOU AND YOUR DOG!!
Come on, your dog doesn't want to watch the bowl games!! Instead, bring him in to have some fun! You can both experience a sampler of motivational games and fun dog sports in a non-competitive and fun environment. We'll have stations for rally, agility, ball toss, retrieving, flyball jump/retrieve drills, freestyle and play some games of Fido Says and Yes My Dog Can Do That! Your dog will get to run, jump and play like a dog for 3 full hours and then go home and sleep for the rest of the day! You will get a chance to discover the areas in which your dog excels and the activities that come most naturally to him or her. If an activity comes easy to him, great. If it doesn't, that's fine too. Just move on to the next activity! If your dog is already familiar with dog sports, you'll get to practice, practice, practice! EVERYONE GETS TO PLAY! And most of all you will get to spend the day with your canine companion!
For dogs ages 1 year and up
Pre-requisite - Because of the off leash nature of this workshop, all dogs should be friendly and non-aggressive. A solid recall is a PLUS!!
Fee: $10 per dog ($5 each additional dog/same family)
FREE for VIP Members!!
