D76 Community Engagement and Growth
Thank you for attending Family Night to celebrate National Standard Poodle Day. It was great to spend time with all of you and with Canines4Comfort. Activities, treats, and art and crafts made for a fun, sparkly evening in D76!
This week we are closing in on the top 10 race to become America’s Favorite Pet! This week we were back and forth between 1st and 2nd place, and we now have a new competitor. For the last three weeks we went back and forth with Bruno, but now Oakley has moved in for 1st place! The competition is getting intense!
The ballot remains open! Through your help and support, our girl did make the cut for the top 10. This week we are working to earn enough votes to make it to the top 5. Votes will continue to accumulate, so please cast your vote every 24 hours. I am confident with your votes, we can climb back to 1st place. Let’s cast our votes and give our girl a chance to sparkle at the top! Click HERE to vote! 💎♥️👑🐾
