HARFORD COUNTY, Md. -- It's not just homeless dogs that are awaiting adoption at the Humane Society of Harford County. The kennels the dogs reside in during their stay at HSHC are up for adoption, as well.
The Harford County community is invited to Adopt-a-Kennel, which will provide funds for the much-needed renovation.
Individual sponsors who adopt a kennel for $500 will receive a 5x7 inscribed plaque hung on the kennel in their honor, or in memory of a loved one. Individuals, a group of individuals, scout troops, friends and neighbors can get together and purchase a sponsorship to support the renovation.
Corporate sponsors who adopt a kennel for $1,000 will be recognized with a prominently displayed, inscribed 8x10 plaque mounted on a kennel.
Sponsorship dollars will help to pay for paint and sealant, a new window and safer door, an automatic water bowl, new lighting, sealant for the concrete pads, maintenance, a central pressure washing system, dog adoption outreach and operational needs. Work has already begun, and a prototype kennel is on display.

The Petco Foundation is once again launching its annual Spring A Pet fundraiser to benefit animal welfare groups nationwide in hopes of a new beginning for the millions of companion animals they shelter.
Starting Sunday, March 30, Petco stores nationwide will collect donations on behalf of local animal shelters and rescue groups. The annual campaign will last through May 4.
The Petco Foundation has partnered with the makers of Pedigree dog food who will support the Spring A Pet campaign by donating $1 for each purchase of pf $10 or more of Pedigree products -- at Petco stores or on www.petco.com.
Approximately five to seven million companion animals enter shelters nationwide every year with approximately three to four million euthanized due to a lack of space or resources to adequately care for them, according to estimates by The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Only one in 10 animals received by shelters has been spayed or neutered.
PETCO customers can make a difference by purchasing Spring A Pet donation cards for a $5, $10 or $20 donation at PETCO stores nationwide, or by donating to the campaign online. Customers donating $20 or more will receive a commemorative photo album. Last year, the annual campaign raised nearly $1.7 million, with all donations staying in local communities.

If you’re 70½ or older, you have a unique opportunity this year to make a gift to your favorite charity using your IRA rollover.
The Pension Protection Act of 2006 allows IRA owners in your age bracket to donate tax-free gifts of up to $100,000 to their charity of choice, but because the Act expires at the end of 2007, this might be the last year to give tax-free from your IRA to help improve the lives of homeless animals.
