“Islanders showed up for the Animal Protection Society – Friday Harbor’s Paws for Play celebration June 23! Attendees even took a pet home!” - Journal of the San Juans

How exciting seeing this write up from Journal of the San Juans of the recent Paws & Play event with Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor! WOW. Thank you to every single person who came out to event and thank you to the APSFH! We were so excited to see almost 200 join in the fun and so many pets adopted! — that was the most important and exciting of all!

Also exciting for us was the outpouring of support for “Closest of Dreams” and so many books purchased (all author proceeds donated to the shelter). That and much, much more created a day that we will not soon forget. And we are hoping this can be an annual event at the APSFH shelter and to also hold similar events at other shelters across the country.
