Raleigh Home Inspection Firm Recommends Music For Fences

This coming weekend, get on over to Durham for some entertainment and to support what we consider to be a very worthy cause….

Being an animal lover, this Raleigh Home Inspector is all about any program to help out the canines. It is always sad to see a dog chained to a tree. The Coalition to Unchain Dogs is a non-profit, volunteer effort dedicated to improving the welfare of dogs living outdoors on chains. According to their website, they have freed over 500 dogs from their chains…kudos to them for that!

This coming weekend, on Saturday August 28th at 4:00PM at Durham Central Park in Downtown Durham, they are putting on their Music For Fences benefit concert …… go here to go to their website for directions and more information and to get more information.

Also, check out this video… very cool……

Lets help to unchain the canines………
