Remember, Mothers have a natural ability to care. It would be a wonderful way to honor your beloved Mother, by donating in her name. Through your generosity, Alaqua’s mission can continue. It’s very easy to do, just visit our website @www.alaquaanimalrefuge.org. A gift your Mother will love, is just a click away. Donate now, tell them Zebbles at 30a TV sent you!” -Gaye Patton

Our Pet of The Week is a very special mamma named Zebbles. If you are able to feature her story & photo (attached) in print, we would greatly appreciate it.
“My name is Zebbles, I’m a hound dog, and I’m just two years old. I was born with a handicap, my front legs never developed properly. Alaqua has shared my story of being rescued, along with my 8 puppies. I’m thankful that we are safe and in the loving care at Alaqua Animal Refuge, they saved our lives. I’m so happy here!
I’ve had a hard life, but I’ve managed to survive. I’m able to get about, by using my back legs. I am thankful for the strength they provide me, as I’m now able to sit erect and nurse my precious puppies. Please do not pity me, for I am truly blessed. Rejoice for me, as my family and I have a warm bed, safe shelter, good food, and an excellent quality of care. A mother’s strength comes from within, and I’m strong, despite my handicap. I can’t run and play, but I can love and comfort my family. That strength comes from the heart, and my heart is strong. Alaqua believed in me, and they have given me a second chance in life.
Mother’s Day is next Sunday. It’ll be a joyful day at Alaqua, as we have several Mothers living safely here. Rather than feeling sorry for me, I would respectfully request that you donate to this worthy organization. Through your generous donations, Alaqua can continue its mission of saving the homeless, hungry and helpless pets in our community.
