Furry Friends Invites You to a Special Evening:
For the Love of Animals and Their Hero Friends
JUPITER, FL (January 31, 2017) Furry Friends Adoption, Clinic & Ranch in Jupiter is proud to present a fundraising event at Admirals Cove in Jupiter on Friday, February 10 at 6:00PM. The event showcases the Shelter to Service DogTM Program that trains rescue dogs to live and work with military veterans as their constant companions. During the evening, there will be a special presentation where the veterans will be presented with dogs that have recently completed the extensive training.
Furry Friends partners with renowned, professional dog trainer Michael Lorraine, who is affiliated with Canines Aiding Military Veterans Organization (C.A.M.O.) and Advanced Canine Solutions to work with and train rescue dogs. A comprehensive training process consists of taking the needs of the veteran into consideration with the goal to make the dog the best companion possible.
Furry Friends Shelter-to-Service Dog™ program matches wonderful, adoptable dogs from overcrowded, high-kill shelters with U.S. military veterans needing our help. Several dogs have been placed in and graduated from service dog training. Their capabilities, post training, are extraordinary. The training that can take up to a year is long and costly, and that is why donations are so desperately needed.
The evening will start with cocktails and a silent auction with many great offerings. There will be music, dinner, dancing, a live auction and a heartwarming presentation to the veterans. Congressman Brian Mast is the Honorary Chair. The gracious gala chairs are Beth and Bob Beson, Ansley and Philip Dileo and Sherrye and Ira Fenton.

About Furry Friends:
Furry Friends, headquartered in Maplewood Plaza in Jupiter, Florida is a 501 (C) (3) nonprofit organization that relies on the generous donations of supporters to fulfill its mission of rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing companion animals. Furry Friends is the only no-kill animal shelter open to the public most days to serve primarily northern Palm Beach County.
A substantial part of the operating expenses relies on raising funds through various events, solicitations, a full-service veterinary clinic providing low-cost medical care and the thrift shop. Without the support of donors, rescuing as many of the animals in dire need of help in our community would not be possible. There are numerous ways to donate and no donation is too small.
