Make a Difference… Volunteer!
Things have been
busy as ever at the shelter and we are very, very full.
Unfortunately cruelty calls seem to be on the rise, but
thankfully we have been able to make a difference in our
community and rescue many animals from deplorable situations.
Yvette & Gina rescued a dog this morning with chemical burns and
picked up 13 puppies and an adult dog with mange, some of which
may also be blind. In addition,
the following adopted animals have all come back in the last
week or two: Chenille (unsuitable home), WW (kept getting
out), Tundra (family moving), Electra (family situation),
Kermit, and
Genie & Gibson (not being taken care of). Although this
large of an increase in the shelter population will stretch our
resources to the limit, with your support and willingness to
volunteer we can ensure that all of these animals receive the
care they need while we look for their forever home.
Friday,
05/26/06 1pm
Christy and I are planning on spending this Friday afternoon,
05/26 at the shelter bathing the new puppies, taking pictures,
and working on a million other things that need to be done. If
you are interested in joining us please let me know. We'll be
there at 1pm til whenever we get tired...
With adoptions
every weekend I can't schedule any shelter work or play days but
I'd be willing to go to the shelter one night a week to work /
play. It stays light til 830pm so we'd get a couple hours in. If
you are interested let me know what day of the week works for
you and I'll get something scheduled.

Our Rescues
New Arrivals
Fleta & Belle were seized in a
cruelty investigation and are currently being held until the
court reviews the case.
Caitlyn, a very skinny beagle with
heartworms, surrendered herself to us and is very sweet, albeit
another spider woman (climbs fences).
Satellite, a beautiful male boxer
is a new addition to the family.
Esmerelda, a year old calico was
spayed this week and will be ready for adoption Saturday.
Adoptions
The
following babies are currently all in new homes!
Two more of Ms. Piggy's puppies
were placed in new homes: MarMar & Dreamy.
Margie (now called Maize) found the
home of her dreams with Kristen, one of our volunteers. For
those that don't know Margie, she was our first official spider
woman, capable of climbing EVERYTHING in seconds. She is now
safe and sound in Kristen's apartment!
Pokey, the young cat was adopted.
Pandora was adopted!! Pandora was
the last of the Australian Shepherd litter that we had that was
so scared. Luckily she was in an amazing foster home cared for
by Bonnie & Sam and it made a life changing difference for her.
Thanks to their hard work, patience and compassion Pandora now
has a chance at a normal life in her own loving forever home.
What a wonderful outcome!
Rio was adopted and is now a house
dog. Rio was always very shy so she never went to adoption day
but her new owner saw her at the shelter and was willing to give
her a chance. Thanks to our foster mom Christy that was willing
to 'test drive' her in the house, Rio is now spoiled in her new
home. |
