Meet Angela Cole and her new best friend, Duncan, whom she adopted from Austin Pets Alive! last week. Angela came to Austin to attend SXSW. While soaking-up innovative ideas and meeting interesting people, Angela spotted an ad promoting a benefit for APA! at Wahoo's Fish Taco. Never one to pass-up an opportunity to help animals or sample great food, Angela decided to go and "dine well - donate well"! However, she got a little more than great tacos - about 45 pounds more...
Angela cancelled her flight back to her home in New York state and is driving Duncan the 1,880 miles to his new home. Angela (and Duncan) are sponsoring Duncan's Drive for pet adoption. Angela wants to raise at least $1/mile - $1,880 - for Austin Pets Alive! to help care for the many dogs and cats who have not yet found their forever homes. Angela's family and friends in Bay St. Louis, MS have kicked things off with a donation of $105; so she only needs $1,775 to reach her minimal goal. According to Angela, exceeding the goal is welcomed and appreciated!
