Make a Difference… Volunteer!
I know it's been a
while but wanted to catch everybody on up on what has been
happening at FCAR so bear with me if this is a little long. First,
our April 1st event at Cameron Brown Park was a wonderful success!
We adopted out 6 animals (mostly long timers) and raised just
under $2,000. Thank you thank you thank you to the volunteers that
came out to help at the event. Your support and hard work is what
made this event such a phenomenal success for us and we appreciate
you more than words can say. A very special thanks to Gina,
Christy, Jessica & Delores for the hours of pre-work that you put
into planning the event.
Our next large
event will be a special adoption day at Petsmart on May 6th. They
are having the grand opening of their Pets Hotel and also are
having a nationwide adoption day weekend with special advertising
for the event.
Remember, we
changed our
regular monthly adoption day schedule to:
2nd Saturday of the
Month - Petsmart
3rd Saturday of the Month - Petco Cordova
4th Saturday of the Month - Petsmart
The concrete slab
has been poured for our new holding pen area along with walkways
and a drain for the inside runs thanks to a grant from Petco. We
also have a wonderful angel that is donating a large building that
will allow us to expand our isolation are and cat/kitten area.
What a wonderful surprise and what a difference it will make! A
big thank you!
We also could use
your help in naming new rescues. As you can imagine we have gone
through most of the more common names and like to ensure that each
of our animals has a unique name. If you have any suggestions for
names starting with:
E, F, I, K, N, O, P, Q, R, T, U, V please send them to me.
If you are
interested in volunteering please email Laurie at

 Adoptions
The
following babies are currently all in new homes!
Winter, a dog that was adopted as a
puppy was returned but then re-adopted immediately at our April
1st event. Feedback from new owners "absolutely
wonderful, best dog ever except for his own, no accidents in the
house since they adopted her, eating fine".
Napoleon, Mandy's brother, refused to
eat or drink at his home. It was all a ploy to get his foster mom
to keep him and it worked! Napoleon was adopted by our wonderful
foster mom, Christy.
Laverne, a husky mix, was adopted by the
family that previously adopted Granger. She is doing great. Her
new mom wrote us "she is adjusting wonderfully to her new home.
She is such a wonderful girl! Sweet as can be, wonderful manners
inside the house, not quite as rambuncious as Granger, and
absolutely wonderful with my 5 year old daughter. She and Granger
are settling in quite well. They play and have a big ole
time...especially when they think no one is watching. Thanks once
again for leading us to just the right addition
to our family."
Scotch, a black lab, was adopted! Scotch
recently completed obedience training at Dogwoods and was adopted
by first time dog owners. One of the daughters was taking primary
responsibility for him and we recently heard that they are taking
him for their complementary training class at Dogwoods on Saturday
and he is doing great!
Clement, an 8 year old beagle, was
adopted by a family full of kids. They were looking for a laid
back dog that the kids could love on and they found the perfect
dog at our April 1st event.
Jimmy, our australian shepherd mama, was
adopted. Two of Ms. Piggy's puppies have been adopted. Amos was
adopted. And probably lots more but as you can see, lots going on!
