Border’s Pet Project
A new little activity from Border’s Bookstores.
If you’ve taken in and loved a homeless, displaced, or abused animal who is now part of your family, send us their photo and story and give them a chance to touch readers’ hearts. Let that furry (or feathered, scaly, or hairless) friend shine in the upcoming book Hopeful Tails: Stories of Rescued Pets and Their Forever Families, a Borders exclusive.
One lucky winner’s pet will be chosen as the Borders Pet and featured on signs in Borders stores, on the cover of Hopeful Tails, and online. In addition, the pet parent will receive a library of pet-care books from Howell Book House.
It’s easy, just:
 |
Find a digital photo of your pet |
 |
Share a story or poem about your pet (optional) |
 |
Submit your materials by March 31, 2007 |
