Light a candle for a special pet (or person)

Animal Adoption League’s volunteers grow,
luminarias glow ...

Animal Adoption League, a regional non-profit (501-c3) all volunteer organization that rescues area animals that are homeless, hungry, hurt or otherwise in danger, will be hosting ‘Love Lights Waxhaw’ on December 13 between 6 pm and 9 pm at Camp Bark located at 7619 Waxhaw Highway in Waxhaw.

Luminarias will be on display along the winding, woodsy driveway and the pond at Camp Bark in honor or memory of a special person or pet. There will be Christmas music, hot apple cider and cookies.

AAL has over 100 volunteers in the region. "The number of volunteers in Union County has really grown this past year,” said AAL Dog Coordinator Cindy Starkey. “Thankfully, lots of Union County volunteers are active. We currently have approximately 20 homes fostering multiple animals,” said Starkey, noting that local volunteers wanted to hold an event here similar to one the organization holds every December in Rock Hill, S.C. “We want to give the public here a chance to witness this beautiful and touching event,” she said.

All proceeds will benefit Animal Adoption League and help provide foster care, veterinary care and locate loving homes for dogs and cats that otherwise would have no hope. For a donation of $4.00 AAL will include a luminaria in honor of your special loved one. An acknowledgement card can be included for an additional $1.00 per luminaria. - Deborah Parkhill Mullis
