Bring a flyer to a restaurant, have dinner, and help homeless animals?

(Mesa, AZ) The Stapley and I60 El Paso Barbeque (1641 S. Stapley Drive) is holding “Friends for Life Animal Sanctuary night on May 3rd from 4 p.m. – 9 p.m.

Bring the El Paso Flyer found at www.azfriends.org or at Friends for Life Animal Sanctuary to this restaurant on this date between those times and El Paso will donate 20% of your ticket to help homeless animals! It IS that easy!

Feeling stuffed after dinner? So are the animals present that evening looking for homes. Friends for Life Animal Sanctuary will be holding “stuffed animal adoptions” and have other items such as Good Boy Books looking for homes. These items have been donated to the nonprofit organization so 100% of proceeds raised go directly toward medical care and housing of homeless cats and dogs.

Currently Friends for Life Animal Sanctuary is housing many animals requiring special medical care, animals such as Dory, the puppy recovering from surgery for her broken leg. Dory and her sister were found in a remote area of the valley. How her leg became broken will never be known. Thanks to donations from caring individuals almost half her surgery bill has been covered. The final bill should be around $1,800.00 and $740.00 has been raised. Friends for Life also has 9 dogs in their care being treated for Valley Fever, as well as diabetic kitties in need of regular support to pay for insulin and visits to veterinarian. The success of the May 3rd El Paso Barbeque night for Friends for Life Animal Sanctuary is very important to sustain the volunteer-based organization’s efforts to help homeless cats and dogs.
