NAC scores with Pucks for Pets!
Who knew hockey and pets mixed so well?
After much anticipation, about 30 NAC volunteers gathered at the Qwest Arena on the night of February 13th for Pucks for Pets with the Idaho Steelheads. In hurried excitement, everything got setup and we were ready for the people to start rolling in… and boy did they! Fans were able to purchase chew toys donated by Petco and raffle tickets on the way in and visited with some darling little puppies at the NAC booth just inside the entrance. We had several of our currently adoptable dogs there for visiting and raffled off some great prizes.
The toys were to be thrown onto the ice when the Steelheads scored the first goal, and was that a sight! Magic 93.1 was also there to sponsor the game and took one of the precious little puppies, Toby, onto the ice during one of the intermissions to show everyone! He was famous after that and started getting his own donations. Go Toby!
After all was said and done, we raised just over $2000, received over 700 pounds of pet food, and adopted 3 dogs! Just as important, we met so many great people and had a really good time. Special thanks goes out to all the volunteers, Petco (thanks Kent!), the Idaho Steelheads and Magic 93.1!
Also, a big thanks to RoppOp Photography for documenting the evening for us. If you would like to see the entire collection of pictures from the event, click here.
