Summer is a busy time for animal shelters, and there are
many pets for families to consider. Elaine
Greene, Executive Director, Friends For the Dearborn Animal Shelter, commented
“Adopt-A-Thons help improve the potential for our animals to get adopted. This is
the third year that Westborn Mall has hosted one for us and it is great place
to feature many adoptable pets in a high profile location.”
This year, Lori Bennett, 96.3 WDVD midday on-air talent will
be on hand from 11a.m.-1p.m. to greet attendees and welcome fans with a little
music and fun.
