LRRoC's O'Chase Unveils new OH Lab Plate!
O'Chase McLabrador made his TV debut at NBC4 WCMH Columbus OH on the arm of Peggy Kaplan this early AM. The segment aired at 6:15am. Peggy and O'Chase highlighted the LRRoC organization accomplishments, our great dogs and unveiled the new OH Pet License Plate featuring a yellow Labrador head. We must say the plate bears an uncanny resemblance to our handsome O'Chase!
We are posting the segment for all to see and please remember to buy the OH Pet Plate (there are 3 styles). Proceeds from the plate go to the OH Pet Fund which funds grants for orgs like LRRoC to help with cost of spay and neuter for our dogs in rescue. LRRoC was granted $2,000 in 2009 from the OH Pet Fund which will start to be utilized in June of this year.
