'Monroeville Zombies' (a zombie-themed shop in the Monroeville Mall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA- the mall featured in the original Romero flick Dawn of the Dead ) is hosting a charity car wash, employing a horde of zombie re-enactors to raise money for the Animal Rescue League of Western Pennsylvania.
The charity car wash will take place on August 28, 2010 from 10:00 AM to 6:00PM in the rear parking lot of the historic Monroeville Mall. People who dress as zombies to get a $2.00 discount off the $10.00 wash fee!
“We've been recruiting and training a special team of zombies just for this worthy charity”, says Time and Space / Monroeville Zombies President Kevin Kriess. “Zombies have always been animal friendly as they only crave human flesh. Plus they are great at lunging at cars and learning repetitive tasks such as sponging and rinsing so we are confident they are the best creatures for the job.”
The Animal Rescue League urges the public to visit the shelter’s main facility, located in Pittsburgh’s East End at the corner of Fifth and Hamilton Avenue. Each adoption that occurs also helps the shelter meet its goal of finding homes for more than 5,000 adoptable pets in 2010. The League hopes to successfully complete its Drive for Five Campaign as it did in 2009.
The Hamilton Avenue facility operates 7 days a week for adoptions. Pets in need of homes can be viewed 24 hours a day on the Adoptions Page at www.animalrescue.org For members of the community wishing to assist the Animal Rescue League by means of adopting, fostering, volunteering, or donating can telephone 412-661-6452 or visit www.animalrescue.org for more details on the League’s many programs and services that help animals in need.
