With foreclosures in Broward increasing almost by the day, the number of pets being abandoned by owners keeps growing. Delcie Cullin, founder of K94URescue, sees it happening daily.
“When people lose their homes, they think about themselves first,” Cullin said. “Most of them cannot take their pets along with them. The economy is not doing well at all and the problem with abandoned pets is growing worse.”
Next Thursday, the Parkland unit of Premier Networking Alliance will do its best to help K94URescue move closer to its goal of building a facility for homeless pets. That day, Wine for K9, the organization’s first fundraiser for the year, will be at A Frame to Remember art and frame gallery in the Waterway Shoppes of Parkland, on the southwest corner of Loxahatchee Road and 441.
Jennifer Marcus, Parkland PNA member and a dog lover, is hoping to see many people turn out for the event. “We have two fundraisers every year for different charities. Last year, we raised funds for the S.O.S. Children’s Village. This is another worthy cause; we hope to have at least 150 people. There will be a variety of fine wines to choose from.”
The organization is yet to decide where the proposed facility would be built, said Cullins, who is also a Parkland PNA member. “We are raising funds. We need $250,000. The facility will come up either in Coral Springs or Boca Raton.”
Wine for K9 will be from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Admission is $15. Call 954-755-9777 for tickets and information.

are you kidding me - K94U is a scam & Delcie is a scam artist. They are not a registered 501C, check with the state of FL. Also check with Miami Animal Care & Control & ASPCA for the complaints
