Betsy Spiker's Deep Creek Lake Blog

The Spiker Team at Long and Foster are long time supporters of the Garrett County Humane Society. Our most recent poster dog is "Pokey". Pokey is owned by local surgeon, Margie Fridkin. He is a 12 year old bassett hound from Ohio Bassett Rescue. He was used for breeding for 10 years with his partner, Julie. They were discarded at a shelter when they were too old to breed. They spent a year in rescue being housed at a kennel because there was no home that would take both of them. Margie adopted them a year and a half ago. He is Margie's best friend and is extremely happy with his new forever home (with Julie too, of course). Now he is supporting the Garrett County Humane Society for Spay Day. All dollars donated go to GCHS for spay and neuter certificates. So any animal lover out there - here is a great cause to help the animals we love "long term". Each dollar donated goes to support the Garrett County Humane Society for Spay Day and brings Pokey a little closer to winning this coveted honor by being the biggest contributor to the cause.

Pokey currently has 870 votes and is leading in Garrett County. http://photocontest.humanesociety.org/contest.html?page=viewIndex&contestId=1
