Photos from Furry Fall Festival




Faithful Friends, the no-kill shelter in Wilmington, does a wonderful job of saving homeless animals and finding them new homes. To keep that commitment, the shelter not only needs the passion and the hard work of its employees and volunteers, but it also needs money.

Sunday, Faithful Friends hosted its annual Furry Fall Festival at St. Anthony in the Hills in Avondale, Pa. We'll get a dollar figure later, but I wanted to share some of the photos -- taken by The News Journal's Ginger Wall -- from the event that featured a walk, costume contest, pet tricks, live music and lots of fun.

Top photo: Debbie Pinno of Wilmington and her 4-year-old greyhound rescue Flossie.

Middle photo: Boo-Bear, a Labrador mix up for adoption, gets a hug from Savanna Hulsey, 3, of Newark.

Bottom photo: Barbara Freda of New London, Pa., parades with her pugs and bulldog Gunny (in the U.S. Marines T-shirt).

I'll check with photographer Ginger Wall the next time I see her to see if she's going to turn in more.

More photos are coming. I just talked to photographer Ginger Wall, and she said she has additional photos to drop into the photo system. I'll try to get them posted tonight.
