On Monday, September 19, the Five Star Building Corp. hosted the 4th Annual Dakin Charity Golf Tournament. This year they raised over $25,000 for the Buddy Fund.
“Named for a young shepherd mix with a cardiomyopathy, the Buddy Fund is the special account we use to provide treatment beyond the standard spay/neuter surgery or vaccinations. When an animal comes to us sick or injured, but with good prospects for recovery and a full life in a new home, we call on the Buddy Fund to help him out,” said Executive Director (and dear friend) Leslie Harris.
Check out these photos taken by my friend Sarah, who helps coordinate our volunteer program here at Dakin:

Starz, available for adoption in Springfield, with volunteer Laura. Starz has been at Dakin since July 27 and is part of the Lonely Hearts Club.
Thank you to all the sponsors, the folks at Five Star, and Dakin staff and volunteers for making this a successful event! If you were not able to attend this fundraiser, you can still make a donation to the Buddy Fund. Your donation will help save a life.
Love and Purrs,
