5th
Annual Fall Pet Fest |
| Lee County Animal Services and the Lee County Animal Care Trust hosted the 5th annual Fall Pet Fest at Lee County Animal Services' shelter. The event, sponsored by KB Home, resulted in 114 pets being adopted into new homes and over $8,400 raised for the Animal Care Trust Fund. The goal of the Fall Pet Fest has always been to to increase awareness for the need to find homes for the area's orphaned pets and to educate pet owners on proper pet ownership, including the importance of spaying and neutering. In the process, a fun day of activities was had by all! |

| Pet owners and their pets had an opportunity to visit shelters and rescue organizations from Lee County and the surrounding area. Vendors including veterinarians, groomers, pet sitters, pet specialty stores and more were on hand to offer the latest in pet products and services. Many folks checked out silent auction and raffle items while waiting for the fashion show and pet contests to begin. | |
