Yes, Festivale de Cochon is French for Festival of the Pig. No, we are not adopting out pigs at the Festivale de Cochon. But, we do have a couple of guinea pigs that are available for adoption. 😉
Covenant United Methodist Church invited us to attend their Youth fundraiser and Festivale de Cochon by bringing adoptable pets. The church is located at 300 East Martial Avenue in Lafayette, Louisiana. The festival will be held on Sunday, May 31st from 11:00AM until 3:00PM. They will be selling Brisket & Pork BBQ Dinners to benefit the Youth Group for $6.00 each. They will also have carnival games for both adults and kids. As well as snow cones and popcorn, huge fun jumps and more activities! There is even a “kiss the pig” contest!
Acadiana Humane Society Pet Adoptions will include kittens, cats, puppies, dogs, birds, guinea pigs, and a ferret! Please come by, have some fun, get some food, and meet some of our adoptable pets!

Hi!
I’m Mandy. The person who takes care of me, Sue, has entered me in The Humane Society of the United States’ and Humane Society International’s Spay Day Online Pet Photo Contest.
Now I need your vote to help me win some cool prizes — and to help me raise critical funds for spaying and neutering to control pet overpopulation. Go here to vote for me by making a small donation to my sponsored charity, which is Acadiana Humane Society!
To celebrate the 15th annual Spay Day on February 24, 2009, The Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International are telling everyone how spaying and neutering improves pets’ lives. In addition to making pets better, more affectionate companions, spaying and neutering helps animals live longer and healthier.
To enter the photo contest, my foster Mom submitted this picture and wrote a few nice words about me. The rest is up to you: This is one contest in which you can “buy” votes — and that’s exactly what I’m asking you to do. In this contest, every US $1 you donate in my name both supports spay/neuter and awards me one vote in the contest! If I finish in the top 500, I’ll win some sweet prizes.
I’d appreciate your vote and donation today, but if you’d like to enter your own pet in the contest, then please do—I can handle some friendly competition! And if you want to stay on top of how I am doing in the contest, visit the Search Pets page and search for me by name.
You can now also find me on Facebook! You can share my entry with your family and friends — on Facebook.
Enter your pet in the contest and donate to vote today. You may enter the contest until 5 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 27, 2009; voting ends at midnight, Eastern Time, on March 6, 2009.
Sincerely,
Mandy

Customers can vote for the charity/non-profit group that they would most like to see run the bakery and receive the money. Great Harvest Bread Co. will donate all ingredients and labor. ALL CASH TAKEN IN—not a percentage of the profits—will go to the winning group on Sunday, March 29. Acadiana Humane Society is the only animal rescue on the ballot. Please go to the store, now through March 7th and cast your ballot for the animals!
Why does Acadiana Humane Society want your vote?
Acadiana Humane Society is a no-kill animal rescue and foster home system. We take in homeless, abandoned, owner surrendered, and animal control rescued cats, dogs, and other animals. We vet them and adopt them out through Petco, Petsmart, Petfinder, and our website.
Acadiana Humane Society plans to use part of the proceeds to pay off our current vet bill. We will also put 25% of all money raised into our Spay/Neuter Fund to help low income families alter their pets. Some of the money raised will go into our Shelter Fund to help us finish construction of our hurricane safe animal shelter.
Every Vote Counts! Help us become the next Baker For The Day!
