Mia is Spotlighted by HSUS

Last night was an exciting night for all of us!

Thanks to our friends Barb, Gwen and Sandy, Miss Mia was chosen to be featured at the HSUS 2009 Spotlight Humane Chicago to combat dog fighting. She was one of six adoptable pitties featured on the big screens throughout the night. In this picture she is posing with Cook County Sherrif Tom Dart who received recognition for his work to end dog fighting in Cook County.

In the lobby in the midst of the silent auction items there were two really nice posters with all six of the adoptable dogs on them - Mia looked great in her Petraits picture (thanks again Sheri Berliner) at the very top of the poster.

There were five other doggies featured from Orphans of the Storm http://www.orphansofthestorm.org/ and the Bombshell Bullies Pit Bull Rescue http://www.adoptapet.com/adoption_rescue/75446.html

Some of these guys have been in a shelter their whole lives - one is 10 years old - I hope all of them get the attention they deserve and find their forever homes.

Thanks to all of our friends and supporters - I am sure Mia's forever home is right around the corner....
If you are interested in adopting Miss Mia please email me at sarrobin@sbcglobal.net or call me at 773-512-1053.
We are still collecting donations for Mia's very large boarding bill and her recent Vet visit for a suspected UTI. You can donate using Pay Pal right here - the icon is in the upper right hand corner.
Please join us on Facebook - Mia has her own group called Find Mia a Home and she has more friends than I do!
Thanks everyone... now go out and tell someone to adopt a dog - preferably a pitty!

That is so frickin' cool!! How exciting it must have been to see our girl on the big screen featured at a Humane Society of the United States event!!!

It was awesome - the pictures were on a loop and every time she would come up I would exclaim, "there's my girl, isn't she beautiful?" probably to the dismay of my table mates after the 20th time or so...
