Gather round the front porch, y'all, I've got something important to share.
Now, you may have all your shopping completed and wrapped (just leave now - LOL!), however, for those who do not, I want to share some of the businesses that follow Maggie Blue - Magnolia Blue. I completely understand that this is late, I admit to having been distracted by some unexpected (two days full) of Mom-duty this week (she's physically fine, but I sometimes have to derail my plans to make posts, or other content, or do my own shopping, etc,. and that's OK). I'm not even sure every one of these amazing businesses can accomodate orders, but I'm going to share them all the same because we love them all.
If I'm missing someone - PLEASE, accept my apology and either add yourselves, or message me and I'll do it! These are not in any order (just what I'm working off of from my notes and memory!).

**THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN OUR 12TH ANNIVERSARY "PLANET HOWLLYWOOD" CELEBRATION!**🐾🐾
Despite a pesky storm that slowed down the fun 😎🤩🤓for a short time, we had a wonderful event and lots of fun!
We want to thank everyone who participated in our event. Thank you to Lauren Wyckoff, Lena, and the entire BrewHound Dog Park + Bar fam for allowing us to celebrate our 12 years with you! You have supported us and our hounds since before your Day 1 (remember that muddy day at Dogwood)? You became friends that day, and since then have become family. We love you with our whole big hound loving hearts!! 🥰🐕
Thank you to Lisa Felegy of Beachy Bakes for making those really beautiful Howllywood themed cookies 🍪 for the 2 leggers. Thank you to Barknbake for the cute dog cookies!! Thank you to Chrissy Dullano of All Fur Pets for coming out to spend time with us. She was to be a judge for some dog trick contests however the rain caused us to cut that.
Thank you to Sherry Mazza and the Mazza-Smith Dance, Inc. dancers 💃 for entertaining us! The girls showed true professionalism and embraced the whole "The show must go on" as they dazzled us even though the rain 🌧 drops.
Thank you to Michelle Conselice of American Well & Irrigation Inc.. for donating all of the amazing gift baskets 🧺. They sure were a hit, as they always are. Thank you to Chantal Deschambault Harrington of Chantal J. Harrington, P.A. for sponsoring the signs!
Thank you to the board members and all of our volunteers who put a lot of time and energy in to this. We can do nothing without you!!
Thank you to The London Sanctuary alum who showed out! It's always so great to see these beautiful dogs, many that came from such hopeless situations and in the worst of shape. To see them flourishing with their families is why we do everything that we do. Seeing them reminds us of our why. 🐾🐾
And a big thank you to all of our supporters whom we like to call our TLS family. Whether you were able to come or not we appreciate everything you do for us throughout the year.
Many of you live a great distance but you see and align with our mission to save these hounds, provide education, promote training to create the bonds between humans and their dogs, and, to help pets stay in homes where they are already loved.
As Covid hit The London Sanctuary took on new responsibilities to help meet the needs of our community. To be a new resource for sources that closed down during the height of it. We provided (and still do) pet food, assist in veterinary bills for both minor things up to specialty surgeries. We have paid for countless numbers of spays,neuters, and vaccines. One of our Directors, Connie, even took the lead on a program to bring a service to our county in order to provide a low cost option. Through all of the changes you continued to support us.
As new challenges arise we will pivot and do what we can to serve our community the best way we know how. So thank you again, for your unwavering support and love, as well as your trust in us to be good stewards of the support that you provide to us. When we have a need you always come through and we could not be more grateful.
So here's to 12 more years of those Floppy Ears!!
