Last Saturday was pawsitivily amazing! With the help of my sister Vanessa we were able to help support such wonderful animal lovers in our community. “Partners Fur A Good Paws”. Was hosted by Lauren McGregor, owner of Koda’s Gift of Pawsitivity who made the event possible. This event would also not have been possible without the dedication and collaberation of several of Effingham’s top animal rescue organizaitions including Effingham County Animal Shelter & Control,
Effingham County, IL Humane Society, E.A.R.S. Effingham Animal Rescue Sanctuary, and of course Koda's Gift of Pawsitivity a support group that offers assistance to those who can’t afford animal healthcare.
We are honored to be part of an event that not only brought our community together but also raised awareness for such an importnat cause!

BIG shout out to my sister Vanessa! Thank you for taking time out of your day to help us sell some of our gourmet chocolates on such a busy day! Your kindness does not go unnoticed. WE LOVE YOU!
