Mother’s Day – Give Mom A Nice Collection of Wine & Help Our Critters!

Share A Bottle of Wine and Share Our Story…   The animals have crashed into the vineyards and blended a whole new way to raise funds for the Animal Shelter Inc.!

Our shelter is introducing a new line of wines - a lineup of six estate grown… imported wines. These delectable wines, imported from Lontue Valley, Chile are highly rated and affordably priced for the wine and charity lover. A significant portion of the purchase price is donated to our shelter…

So Have a Glass of Wine and Smooch on your adopted pet and know you’re enjoying something that will benefit our critters too! You can order 1-6 bottles or some of us might need more ;) at www.BenefitWines.com/sterling.

What’s a Whisker Walk you Ask?

Well its a lot of things … but mostly its a FREE, fun day for families and their dogs PLUS a dog walk-a-thon fundraiser to benefit animal shelters and rescue groups throughout New England.

The 2011 Whisker Walk brought in 100+ animal rescue groups, pet related vendors/manufacturers and sponsors for the first of its kind “event not to be missed” for pet lovers. The 2012 Whisker Walk is sure to be bigger and better!

Held at the Lancaster Fairground (Home of the Bolton Fair) there are 50+ acres for Pet owners and animal lovers to walk, visit vendors, see, do and buy PLUS they can lend a paw for the animals shelters and pet rescues they love and support!

Come see exhibits, demonstrations, educational programs, special attractions, product giveaways, entertainment, auctions/raffles, food, fun and things for adults and kids to see, do and buy – both human and pet related! Check back often to see participants, events and attractions

Top off your exciting day and join us for the Walk – a leisurely (almost) ONE mile stroll on shaded, flat, grassy trails with your well behaved dog (sorry other pets must stay home)

and STAY TUNED FOR the 4th Annual Top Dog Photo Contest


Sponsored by WXLO 104.5fm! Winners announced at Whisker Walk!

Come see, do and buy – and HELP THE ANIMALS!

The rescuers/foster families that cared for YOUR pooch until he/she was able to come to our shelter in MA will be flying in to meet YOU and YOUR dog/s to see how happy and lucky they are now… had it NOT been for YOUR family adopting…the fate of these poor souls would be a sad ending to their short lives… COME out and MEET THEM AND THANK THEM FOR HELPING be part of the process to get these great animals to Sterling :)
