<p>One of the goals of the trip was to find a forever home for Loren. Unfortunately she has found her soulmutt yet but we haven&#8217;t given up hope that it will happen. </p>
<p>And either has Michelle. In fact she is doing more to raise awareness on the plight of shelter dogs and money for The Brittany Foundation. She&#8217;ll be spending 24 hours in Loren&#8217;s kennel, unless you sponsor them at, &#8230;$1 per minute&#8230;for <a href="http://brittanyfoundation.homestead.com/" target="_new" class="intext"><B>&#8220;A Day In Their Paws&#8221; on November 7</b></a>. If they get out early enough, Michelle will take Loren out to dinner and an overnight stay at a nice motel.</p>
<p>You can make a donation via Paypal at <a href="http://brittanyfoundation.homestead.com/" target="_new" class="intext"><B>the Brittany Foundation&#8217;s website</b></a> &#8211; scroll down until you see their photo, then use the donate button at right. Or you can make a donation to any of the other teams.</p>
<p>On the <a href="http://brittanyfoundation.homestead.com/" target="_new" class="intext"><B>&#8220;Day In Their Paws&#8221; on November 7</b></a> at the <a href="http://brittanyfoundation.homestead.com/" target="_new" class="intext"><B>Brittany Foundation</b></a> they will also be giving sanctuary tours, have a raffle and silent auction as well as vendors like Cookie Lee Jewelry, and refreshments from Margo&#8217;s Bark.</p>

<p>My brother-in-law and his wife have been planning on getting a dog for a while.And last weekend they headed out to the Seattle Humane Society and were surprised to find their soulmutt on their first visit. Charlie is a one year old Australian Shepherd mix who is very friendly, energetic, and tends to snore when he sleeps. He was picked up as a stray, but must have had a good home at some point because he&#8217;s housebroken and responds fairly well to basic commands.</p>
