Christmas Miracle?
Chantale Stark attended the party with her niece Katie and her therapy dog Chance. Katie was the only child present at the party. Earlier in the week, Kristi Domin had donated a pair of Heely's for a drawing at the Share-A-Pet party. Not only did Katie win that particular pair of Heely's, but those shoes were also in her exact size. In addition, Heely's were what she wanted for Christmas.

When did Kristi talk to Santa?

Please stay tuned for our next fundraising 'Valentine's Day' Event to be held at one of our local facilities.

HOLIDAY PARTY, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

On December 14, 2006, Share-A-Pet threw a Holiday Party for the residents of the Sunrise Senior Living Center at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.

Dog visits are always a popular event at Sunrise, and residents turned out to visit their canine friends and attend a graduation ceremony for some of our newly-certified pet assisted therapy teams.

The Sunrise kitchen provided wonderful hors-d’oveurs (cheese and crackers, baked goods, beverages, and veggies with dip) and a local restaurant, Rose Pistola, baked decadent mini fudge cakes and homemade dog biscuits for our heroic canine volunteers.
