** PERMISSION TO CROSS POST** I just wanted to share with fellow locals some wonderful news. The American Kennel Club working with Bob Miller of Channel City Kennel Club and Jill Beniak and myself, Diane Jones are purchasing items for donation to the Santa Barbara Humane Society to help with their increased need as they support animals and their owners impacted the the Jesusita fire. We have made purchases at Lemo's stores in Goleta and Solvang that Lemo's will be delivering to the Santa Barbara Humane Society. Lemo's has GENEROUSLY offered all individuals and organizations who are donating to the Santa Barbara Humane Society a 25% discount if they allow Lemo's to make the delivery of the product. Additionally if you are evacuated by the fire and need items you too will get a discount at Lemo's on those items you need- just tell them you are evacuated. http://www.lemospet.com/locator.html So far the American Kennel Club donation has been around $1400 worth of product from Lemo's in addition to what the AKC is sending directly to the Humane Society (exercise pens). Bob has arranged the shipment of ex pens from the AKC to the Humane Society to help them help our cities evacuated animals who can't be with their owners. Additional items will be purchased in the next few days based on the Humane Society's needs. I am grateful to the American Kennel Club for assisting the animals in need in our County. Please those who are customers of Lemo's thank them for this discount and assistance to our humane society and if you can't make it to the Santa Barbara Humane Society and have a donation to make they will also take that through their register and make sure it gets to the Santa Barbara Humane Society. Thank you to Stephanie Smith and Lisa Peterson from the American Kennel Club for offering your assistance to our County in our time of need. D.
