Musical artist Mya is lending a paw, er, a hand to the North Shore Animal League for their 2008 Tour For Life. The North Shore Animal League is the nation’s largest no-kill shelter, and this is the 8th annual Tour.
The goal of Tour For Life is to “help find homes for hundreds of orphaned dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens and to raise public awareness concerning the plights of all shelter pets. … Tour For Life has been promoting the importance of adopting shelter dogs and cats as a life-saving measure.”
Mya was on hand to kick it off the Tour, which will stop in 22 cities throughout 15 over the next few weeks. It will all end with a grand finale at FAO Schwartz on Fifth Avenue, which will be hosted by the Grammy winning singer herself.
Want to see if the Tour will be coming anywhere near you with one of their mobile adoption units? Check out North Shore’s website, where they have all dates and locations listed. And remember, the next time you’re looking to adopt an animal, be sure to check out the shelters and rescues. I know here in Florida, the trendiest breed around is a mixed breed — we call them the Florida Black Dog. Check the shelter and get your own!
