PEACE OF MIND<br />
Upon learning of a serious medical condition, Pinky’s owner<br />
knew she had to arrange for her pet’s care when she would no<br />
longer be able. She visited Peggy Adams and learned of our<br />
PEACE OF MIND program.<br />
The Peace of Mind program was initiated to do just what the<br />
name says – to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing that<br />
their beloved animals will be cared for if they should outlive<br />
their owner. Those enrolled can rest assured<br />
knowing that Peggy Adams will accept their<br />
pets immediately into our adoption program<br />
when the need arises.<br />
Pinky arrived at Peggy Adams in August. She<br />
was given a thorough medical exam and<br />
treatment for existing health issues. At 12<br />
years old, Pinky was overweight and had a<br />
heart murmur. Our vets placed her in intensive<br />
care to monitor her closely and provide the<br />
medical attention she needed before placing<br />
her in a foster home and then up her for<br />
For Pets And The People Who Love Them<br />
52 nd Annual<br />
CHRISTMAS BALL<br />
Our 52nd Annual Christmas Ball was held on December 7th at the Sailfish<br />
Club in Palm Beach. This elegant holiday affair supported our mission of<br />
saving the lives of homeless, neglected, and injured dogs, cats, puppies,<br />
and kittens. Pauline Pitt, a devoted Peggy Adams supporter and board<br />
member, once again served as Chairwoman. Christmas Carolers singing<br />
holiday classics welcomed nearly 300 guests who enjoyed cocktails,<br />
dinner, and live entertainment. This year’s event was record-breaking,<br />
raising over two million dollars to support the programs and services<br />
at Peggy Adams.<br />
We are so grateful to our supporters, volunteers, and Board<br />
of Directors that continue to help the animals at Peggy Adams<br />
Animal Rescue League. Those who supported this year’s<br />
Christmas Ball speak for those without a voice and there is<br />
nothing more special than that during the holiday season.”<br />
The Peace of Mind<br />
program is an incredible<br />
solution and option for<br />
those that have pets …<br />
it really is, such an<br />
amazing option to<br />
ensure the continued<br />
care of your pet.”<br />
- Alexander P. Gil, Esq.<br />
- Sue Berry, CEO, Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League<br />
adoption. Pinky then moved into a foster<br />
home to ease her anxiety and monitor<br />
her diet.<br />
To enroll in the Peace of Mind program, we ask for a donation of $25,000 or more<br />
designated solely for the Peace of Mind program, or a minimum provision of $25,000<br />
in your will, living trust, life insurance policy, a retirement account, or other planned<br />
gift vehicle that names Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League as beneficiary. With this<br />
minimum donation you may enroll up to three pets in the Peace of Mind program.<br />
While living in foster care, she met a<br />
friend of her foster mother, who is a big<br />
fan of Chihuahuas. It wasn’t too long<br />
Pinky ane Kathleen<br />
before Pinky was adopted by Kathleen<br />
and off to live in a new loving home.<br />
Kathleen recently shared, “Pinky has become a<br />
funny, lively, and outrageously lovable addition<br />
to our family. She is on five meds twice a day but<br />
is now energetically walking half a mile each day<br />
with us and the other dogs. She likes to play fetch<br />
and digs in the toy basket for just the right toy of<br />
any given moment … She is living her best life now<br />
and totally enjoying every minute of it. We are<br />
blessed to have found her and to now have her in<br />
our lives. Thank you all for rescuing her - she is a<br />
treasure and a joy!”<br />
