[20th Birthday Party For GP Animal Services Adoption Ctr]
FOR HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GRAND PRAIRIE ANIMAL SERVICES ADOPTION CENTER.THE ADOPTION CENTER IS TURNING 20 AND ON SATURDAY IT HOSTED A BIRTHDAY BASH FEATURING RESCUE AGENCIES, VENDORS WITH ALL KINDS OF PET PRODUCTS, AS WELL AS OTHER RESOURCES FOR PEOPLE WITH FOREVER FRIENDS.
SINCE OPENING IN 2003, THE CENTER HAS HELPED ADOPT THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS BY BEING HELPFUL AND COMPASSIONATE.
I THINK GRAND PRAIRIE REALLY RALLIES BEHIND ITS CITIZENS, AND I THINK PEOPLE REALLY, UH, DIG INTO NOT ONLY PEOPLE, BUT ALSO THE PETS AND THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE COMMUNITY.
GRAND PRAIRIE'S DONE A GREAT JOB, THIS CENTER OVER ANY OTHER, UM, LIKE I SAID, THE CARING OF THE ANIMALS, UM, YOU KNOW, JUST THE HEART THAT'S PUT INTO IT.
YOU WANNA KISS OFFICIALS, SAY THE CENTER'S BIGGEST CHALLENGE IN THE FUTURE WILL BE KEEPING PACE WITH THE CITY'S GROWTH, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE A LOT OF PROACTIVE THINGS IN PLACE TO FOCUS OUR RESOURCES, UM, ON CASES THAT NEED US MOST.
UM, THE SOUTH IN PARTICULAR HAS A HUGE OVERPOPULATION PROBLEM, AND SO JUST BEING ABLE TO SERVE THE ANIMALS AND THE QUANTITIES THAT WE GET, UM, IS A BIG CHALLENGE, UM, ACROSS THE NATIONS.
