Canine Events Benefit Local Animal Charities

To wind down the summer season, two Ghertner & Company managed communities let furry neighbors in on some pool fun. Windstar Bay and Wright Farms Homeowners Associations recently held puppy pool parties for the dogs in their communities and also used the events as an opportunity to collect donations for local animal shelters.

Wright Farms’ Puppy Plunge was on Sunday, October 9. The community accepted donations for Waggin’ Tails Animal Shelter. Sixteen to eighteen dogs and their owners participated. Dogs had a chance to swim and even non-swimming dogs got in on the fun running around and meeting new neighbors.

The Windstar Bay Doggie Dip took place on Sunday, October 16.  Dogs were required to be at least 12 weeks old and current with all vaccinations. Participants were asked to make a small monetary donation of dog-friendly items.  While the rainy weather kept some pups at home, the community was able to raise $90 for the Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary.

Todd Forsythe is the property manager for Wright Farms and Becca Breier is the property manager for Windstar Bay.
