Huck's Fundraiser for Paw Fund
Okay, people, it was actually a very easy decision for me when I thought about it to decide where to ask people to donate in Huck's memory - Paw Fund. This non-profit offers free wellness services to pets based on a harm-reduction model. This is where I got Huck's vaccines a number of years ago, when I was under-employed and felt like vet care was something I just couldn't afford (and luckily Huck was a reasonably healthy dog for most of his life, so we did okay for ourselves). So I want to give back to them now - I am absolutely sure the money will be put to excellent use. Please give what you can in Huck's honor.
