This year, Sproutfest will honor 102.9 WMGK’s John DeBella of the JDB SHOW. Grace Kelly Herbert, Founder and President of Finding Shelter Animal Rescue, says, “John DeBella is a wonderful friend of Finding Shelter. He’s featured our adoptable dogs on the 10! Show, generously donated his time and dressed as Santa for our holiday pet photos, and served as “Justice of the Paws” for the Valentine’s Day wedding of puppy mill survivors Alfie and Twinkle. His DeBella Dog Walk brings thousands of owners and their pets together for various activities and provides opportunities for dog rescues to showcase their adoptable dogs. Throughout his career, John has dedicated himself to the welfare of animals and we wanted to thank him for all he’s done.”

This event is free. Rain date is Sunday, October 25, 2015. For more information about Sproutfest, please contact Finding Shelter Animal Rescue at (610) 272-2293 or visit their website at www.findingshelter.org.
