PET CLUB MEETING-Wednesday, September 18th at 10:00 a.m.

Our next Pet Club meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 18th, at 10:00 a.m. in the Independence Center courtyard. Leashed pets are welcome. Our guest speaker will be Diane Meier from Those Left Behind Foundation. 

TLB Foundation is a rescue dedicated to changing the lives of unwanted pets and aiding the community by providing services and support to autistic children in schools, Patriots, and the elderly. They run a Pups, Prisoners & Patriots program. Daily, 22 warriors lose their lives to suicide, thousands of unwanted dogs are euthanized, and 53% of prisoners relapse and return to the prison system. The 3P program is aimed at changing these statistics in our state. TLB Foundation takes unwanted dogs from high-kill shelters and moves them into the prison system, where prisoners can train them and learn skills for the outside world while boosting their confidence. The trained dogs then go to start their job as a therapy/family companion. With each dog saved, the life of a prisoner and the life of a Veteran are changed forever. 

In case of inclement weather, the meeting will move indoors to the Penn Room, and pets may not attend.
