Make a Difference… Volunteer!
We had a great event at Funquest on
07/29/06 thanks to all our wonderful volunteers. Christy did an
outstanding job at coordinating the event and the outpouring of
help from our volunteers from planning to advertising to baking to
manning the event was tremendous. We found homes for 2 dogs and
raised over $1,000. Great work everyone!
We have continued to receive
donations from the community and are now 'out of the hole' that we
were in a few weeks ago. We still have a lot of work ahead of us
to continue to keep our shelter financially solvent but we are all
excited about what the future holds for the organization.
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS FOR OUR
ADOPTION DAY THIS SATURDAY! It is at Petsmart, setup is at
9am, event runs from 10am - 4pm.
Donation Containers
Jessica has been nice enough to purchase and put
together some of those donation tubes that we can put out in
businesses in the local community to raise much needed funds
for the shelter. If you have any contacts with any
businesses that would let us put our donation containers in
their store please send me the company name, address and
contact information. And a huge thank you to Jessica for
doing these for us!
Also, Christy is decorating some new donation containers for
us as well that we can use for our events. If you have any
large containers such as coffee cans, dog treat cans, etc.
that she could decorate and would work well to put out on
the tables and cages for people to put donations into,
please bring them to the shelter or to one of our events.
And a big thanks to Christy for taking the time to decorate
these containers for us!
Wednesday &
Thursday
I'll be at the shelter this Wednesday and Thursday night but
will discontinue the evenings while it is so hot. Right now it
is just miserable for the volunteers and animals alike to be
outside even in the evening and there just isn't enough room for
us to do things inside the shelter while the employees are
working. If you plan on coming out to the shelter Wednesday
or Thursday this week please let me know.
Shelter
Secretary
Thank you Judy, Julie & the Hoff Family for staffing the
shelter in the afternoons for us the past few weeks. You
have no idea how much it helps having regular volunteers that we
can rely on that can help with all those tasks that need to be
done to run the shelter.
If you can help, we still need additional volunteers from
12pm-4pm to answer phones, process paperwork and
perform various clerical and miscellaneous tasks. If you
are available and can commit to at least one day per week please
let me know.
If you are
interested in volunteering please email Laurie at
fayettefcar@hotmail.com.
Our Rescues
New Arrivals
**We are still busting to the seams
full and are not taking any new animals unless they are from
cruelty cases. **
Adoptions
Sandy was adopted after being at
our shelter for 4 years! She was taken into the wonderful foster
home at Bonnie's house and she once again worked miracles for
us. Sandy is on allergy shots which can sometimes make the
animals hard to adopt out but Sandy's new mom is a nurse so it
was no problem at all. The following is feedback from her new
mom: "
She is doing great, SO SWEET, was a little scared of her new dad
at first, but not any longer, now she snuggles up to him to get
belly rubs, plays very well with the other dog, great with the
grandchildren, seems really happy to be with them, they go for
walks in the morning and at night when it's not too hot, then
always takes an afternoon nap, gets along great with the cats,
gave her the allergy shot today and Sandy didn't whimper or have
a problem with it, They have been discussing Halloween costumes
and decided she will be "Lady Dracula". She plans on bringing
her to visit us at Petsmart. Noah was adopted at the Funquest
event as well. He is doing great and has been renamed Sammy.
The wonderful Curry family adopted
Robby (kitten) last week. They are already the terrific
owners of our wonderful rescues Granger and Laverne and have
added Robby to their loving household.
Two of Slinky's kittens (Nugget & Felix)
were adopted by a nice man last week. He wanted to adopt 2 kittens
at once so that they would have someone to play with.
Another of Slinky's kittens was adopted
today (only 1 left!)
