When members of the Rotary Club of Borderlands (Passport Group) heard about the PolioPlus Society Kennel Klub, they excitedly enrolled their furry friends. An extension of the district-led PolioPlus Society, the Kennel Klub allows pets (well, their owners) to pledge at least $100 per year to PolioPlus and, in return, receive a pet-purrfect red End Polio Now bandana. “The Kennel Klub welcomes animals of any kind,” says Borderlands club member Beth Thomson, “and whilst ours are mainly dogs, there is a pet sheep (a Swiss Valais Blacknose) in there too!” The club, chartered in 2023, has 100 percent PolioPlus Society membership, donating about $5,500 per year to the cause. While the club hasn’t brought the pets to its breakfast meetings — “I suspect it would be a recipe for chaos,” Thomson says — it did persuade Past RI President Gordon McInally (whose wife, Heather, was the club’s 2025-26 president) to sit for a photo shoot with Kennel Klub idols Mabel, Angus, Applepip, Tess, Todd, Cora, and Fleet.
