b'Morgan Auto Group andThe New Barker Make ItHappen In Just One Day.On May 22, it was just a germ of an idea. After we contactedJohn Marazzi at Brandon Honda, it quickly became a reality,involving several Morgan Auto Group dealerships. In less thanthree weeks, the adoption event, Just One Day, tieing in withthe June 11 national No Kill Movement by the same name,occurred simultaneously at five Morgan Auto Group dealer-ships, coordinated by The New Barker.We lined up and pairedPasco County Animal Services and Humane Society of theNature Coast to be at MINI of Wesley Chapel; with adopta-bles; SPCA Florida and E.A.R.S. Rescue to be at BrandonHonda; Manatee County Animal Services and MoonracerBMW of Sarasota hosted Manatee County Animal Services and Rescue to be at BMW of Sarasota; Alachua County AnimalMoonracer Rescue.

TheSPCA Florida brought theirWellness Wagon to BrandonHonda. Pasco CountyAnimal Services broughttheir Tail Wagon to MINIof Wesley Chapel.The concept behindJust One Day is to motivateshelter staffs across thecountry to find creativeways to empty their sheltersfor one day rather thaneuthanizing the animals. MINI of Wesley Chapel hosted Pasco County Animal Services and Humane Society of the Nature Coast. MikeShumate, Division Manager for Pasco County Animal Services (above, center) and Dina Athanassie, Executive Director ofHumane Society of the Nature Coast, came out and personally participated at MINI of Wesley Chapel.
