I wanted to let everyone know that on October 5th, there will be a walkathon to support the building of the first No-Kill animal shelter in Bucks County.  The event is going to be held in beautiful, Core Creek Park in Langhorne. 

Having owned dogs my entire life, (we currently have an american eskimo, which we absolutely adore) this event is particularly meaningful to me.  I was surprised to learn that only 15% of dogs and 2% of cats who enter traditional shelters, are returned to their owners.  We have a fenced yard, but our dog did manage to escape once.  Fortunately, we were able to locate him in the neighborhood, before he was loose for too long.  Our family would have  been devasted if he ended up in a traditional animal shelter.

I you are an animal lover, and want to either participate in this event on the 5th, or want to make a contribution, please visit the hope for the animals web site.  I also have a registration form, if you prefer, so you can contact me to register or contribute to this cause.  There is additional information on the website, that will further explain the need for such a shelter.  It really is a worthwhile cause.

I will get back to posting about real estate as well as the turmoil in our financial markets, with my next post.
