GIVING COMES IN MANY WAYS<br />

– A Donor Story<br />

“The animals are my passion. I<br />

believe in this cause, so it’s easy<br />

to give of myself, whether it’s<br />

time, resources or raising funds<br />

for the Walk for the Animals.”<br />

- Judy Noren<br />

New to the area, Judy Noren<br />

wasn’t sure where to turn to when her<br />

18-year-old dog was at the end of<br />

his life. A friend suggested she contact<br />

Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League.<br />

That was eleven years ago.<br />

Remembering how compassionate the<br />

Peggy Adams team was as she said<br />

goodbye to her beloved pet, Judy<br />

shared, “They made a heartbreaking<br />

task a little more bearable.”<br />

Judy’s first experience started her on<br />

a giving trend. Her consistent financial<br />

support includes naming a dog kennel<br />

and bench in the Lesly S. Smith Pet<br />

Adoption Center, giving monthly to our<br />

Annual Campaign, and raising money<br />

to become the top fundraiser for our<br />

Annual Walk for the Animals.<br />

In addition, Judy gives her time to<br />

Peggy Adams as a volunteer, assisting<br />

in our <strong>Shaggy</strong> Shoppe boutique and<br />

helping at events. Over her 11 years,<br />

she has volunteered with dog walking,<br />

laundry, off-site adoption events and<br />

our annual Christmas Ball. She recently<br />

volunteered in February at our 22nd<br />

Annual Walk for the Animals.<br />

Judy is a true friend to our animals<br />

– especially the old timers. Often<br />

overlooked because of their age or<br />

health, Judy has a special fondness for<br />

the older dogs. She has fostered many<br />

throughout the years and has given<br />

them the love and care they<br />

so deserve.<br />

We salute Judy, and all those who<br />

give - their resources, their time,<br />

and their hearts – on behalf of<br />

the animals.<br />

We invite you to join our<br />

LEADERSHIP CIRCLE<br />

The Leadership Circle is made up of individuals who have<br />

We are grateful to our Leadership Circle contributors for their<br />

dedication to the mission of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue<br />

League, and the dogs, cats, puppies and kittens that deserve<br />

a second chance at life. Their commitment helps us meet today’s<br />

needs and build a foundation of support for the future.<br />
