Scruff for Ruff

What exactly No-Shave November? There are some people who just think it as an excuse for not shaving their beards or their legs (it's a lot of work, right ladies?). However, there is a deeper meaning behind November. The concept, according to the organization's website, is to "grow awareness by embracing our hair, which many cancer patients lose, and letting it grow wild and free. [People] donate the money you typically spend on shaving and grooming to educate about cancer prevention, save lives, and aid those fighting the battle." A key part of this national campaign is that participants' new facial hair often starts a conversation, so it is an opportunity to raise awareness about men's health issues such as prostate cancer.

It is hard knowing how much help animal shelters and humane societies need.We are keenly aware of the crisis-level of overcrowding that is occurring in shelters all over the nation. We wanted to combine our efforts with No-Shave November and raise awareness for animal shelters and local humane societies. We implore those who have pets that require monthly trimmings to skip the visit to the groomers and donate that money a local animal shelter in your area. In addition, skip your personal appointment at the salon and donate that money to the No-Shave November campaign. Grow a little scruff for ruff is a campaign that will benefit all the shelters that are continuing to do great work for our four-legged friends. 

So let your hair flow in the wind and your pup get a little scruffy for the month to raise awareness for our furry human and four-legged friends.
