Model Canine Citizen – Meet Lily By Beverly Perkins

For the past 30 years, “The VCA Walk for the Animals” has been the largest fundraising event for the Humane Society of Broward County (HSBC). Besides raising funds and gathering with other humans and their furry friends, many vie for their beloved four-legged family member to be selected as the event’s “Cover Dog”. The chosen canine will be featured on all promotional materials for the annual walk including 40,000 printed brochures which will be distributed all over the county.

The winner for the coveted 2021 spot is Lily from Davie. Ten years ago, Janet McLaughlin adopted the sweet Maltese-mix after she lost her husband of 31 years. Janet took great comfort from the little dog who is now eleven years old. The intuitive and attentive pup helped her human get through such a difficult time.

“I do believe she sensed that I was going through a tough period in my life, and knew I needed her special love to face each day,” shared the proud animal lover and regular volunteer at the HSBC.

Janet wanted to get the compassionate canine some company, so she went back to the shelter and got Lily a Havanese sister named Roxy. Together the trio raised $3,000 in donations during the 2020 walk which allowed them to be placed in the 2021 Cover Dog drawing.

Those thinking that the annual “VCA Walk for the Animals” will be cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic are barking up the wrong tree. The anticipated walk to raise funds for a great cause will commence in the safest way possible at Huizenga Park in downtown Fort Lauderdale on March 6, 2021.

The HSBC will make every effort to put COVID precautions in place and will continue to monitor the situation as the event nears so that all participants, staff, and volunteers are safe. However, those uncomfortable to attend are encouraged to collect funds and walk in their neighborhoods on the official “walk day”.

“I hope everyone can come out and support the shelter and meet Lily. But, if anyone is unable to walk, any donation would be extremely appreciated and helpful to keep our Humane Society of Broward County doing all the good and kind work they do for so many animals,” added McLaughlin. ⊲ To participate visit www.walk4theanimals.com to register and start collecting donations.
