Animal Adoption In Woodbury

Animals For Life, a non-profit animal rescue organization in the greater Southbury area will host the Annual Pet Adoption and Holiday Celebration on Saturday, December 4 at Nonnewaug High School in Woodbury. The event will be held from 10 am to 3 pm, and will feature cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies who are all eager to find their forever families. To get a sneak peek at some of the available animals and the festivities of the day, visit www.animalsforlifect.org.               

The ever-popular Santa Dog will be present again this year and will pose for holiday photos with pets who visit. The photos will be printed while you wait, and make excellent holiday gifts or keepsakes of the season. No appointment is necessary for your dog’s photo sitting.

The drawing for the annual Save a Life Sweepstakes will occur at the end of the event. Any available tickets will be sold throughout the day. The top prizes this year include a 50-inch Panasonic HGTV, a $1,000 Exxon gas card, two box seats to a 2011 Red Sox game, and two box seats to a 2011 Yankee game.  

The event also includes opportunities to purchase holiday gifts. A craft fair will offer unique gifts for pet lovers. In addition, there will be opportunities to purchase Animals For Life merchandise, and live holiday music will fill the air while you shop.

This fundraiser is being held in conjunction with Nonnewaug High School’s annual poinsettia and wreath sale.
