Paws Place Poster RTR 2016 – Final

As many of you know, Rick & I are passionate about doggy adoption and how it not only saves the precious lives of a dogs but it often saves human lives. At the least, an adopted pet can enrich and endear our lives!

We were blessed this April when we found and adopted Moby. He is a “Borgie:” Border Collie/Corgi mix. We love him to the moon and back. It is because of volunteers and endeavors like those of Paw’s Place that we were able to find and adopt Moby and our beloved Maggie. In their honor, we are proud to support this very worthwhile endeavor! We are also excited about the event. It sounds like a lot of fun!

She said she and her husband are honored to receive such feedback and look forward to welcoming and sharing the Robert Ruark Inn, Southport and the entire Cape Fear Coastal area with guests from all over NC, the southeast, the USA and the world.

Linda added, “It is a privilege to share our historic and maritime Southport with visitors. We love being able to welcome them to our circa 1890 Inn and celebrate the history in a quite, luxury-oriented atmosphere.  We feel fortunate to be able to share the Inn which was lovingly restored in 2008 and is maintained by  us  via many local craftsman and talented individuals to whom we are extremely grateful.”https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g49552-d1237147-Reviews-Robert_Ruark_Inn-Southport_North_Carolina.html

Most of all, Linda stressed “We are so very grateful to our neighbors and the citizens of Southport who have supported our business throughout the years. We are thankful for Southport’s tireless and magnificent Visitors’ Center Volutneers & our wonderful Tourism Department headed by Randy Jones. We are also so very grateful to the Southport-Oak Island Chamber, the Brunswick TDA and all the businesses and citizens of Southport who make this City and our Inn so very special. ” She added, “Every day we are thankful for finding and being able to live in Southport.
