Litter Of Rescue Pups From Old Dominion Humane Society Thriving From Powell’s Furniture Sponsorship

Jim Powell, owner of Powell’s Furniture in Fredericksburg, meets a few of the puppies from Powell’s Pups, a litter he sponsored from Old Dominion Humane Society (ODHS).

Hadleigh (adopted), Bailey and Lola visited Powell and his staff at the store last week. Powell’s

sponsorship made a difference in the dogs’ lives—when the rescues arrived at ODHS they were

covered in fleas and underwent treatment and bathing regimens. Businesses, companies and

groups can sponsor a litter of puppies for $300. The sponsorship is used to care for the new

pups with examinations, vaccinations, flea and tick medication and more. The sponsoring

business can name the litter of puppies and reap the benefits of gaining positive social media

exposure, including on the ODHS Facebook page that consists of nearly 30,000 followers. The

businesses can keep up to date about their puppy litters by joining the ODHS Alumni Facebook

group, where adopters share photos and talk about the pups.

Vince Usman, a sales representative with Powell’s Furniture in Fredericksburg, holds Hadleigh (adopted), one of the Old Dominion Humane Society (ODHS) pups sponsored by the business.

When Jim Powell, owner of Powell’s Furniture, sponsored the litter, his donation went to the care of the litter, which was severely infested with fleas. After ODHS volunteers cared for the litter with medicated baths, they are now fluffy and ready for adoption.
