Wednesday Shelter update

It was not as busy today as it was yesterday.

A large white pit bull which is believed to have been with Caine has been brought in. It has some injuries to its ear. It will be needing triple antibiotic ointment applied to the injuries. Nicole gave the dog a bath.

Three small puppies were brought into the puppy room. They are cute as can be. Billy, Nicole and I each grabbed one gave them a bath, removed ticks, cleaned ears and dried them with a hair dryer and brushed burrs from their coats. All above dogs were vaccinated.

An application has been approved for Cookie and the people will come on Friday bringing their dog to make sure that the two get along. Santino has been approved for adoption and should get picked up Friday or Saturday. There is a couple coming from Roanoke and they are approved for pets. Just check the approved adoption folder of not sure.

I looked for the kongs and I found 3 so just refilled and gave back to the dogs. Later I found the other 2 small ones they still had a biscuit in them. I am new to kongs and could not figure out how to get the biscuit out so I could clean , sterilize and give to another dog. I found those two in the little basket near the grooming room door with the toys.

Billy and Nicole walked all the dogs. Billy did laundry and put things away and made copies we needed.

There is a list of chores on the chalk board in the Education Room that need to be done.
So volunteers if you should run out of something to do check the board. Also if you see something that needs to be done and you could not get to it, please add it to the board.

Please remember to walk Precious the white terrier, and Poncho needs to take a nice long walk for socialization reasons. If you have time to play with him that would not hurt either.

Well Barb popped in got some info and pictures and will be featuring Bell's 3 puppies as pet of the week. It was hard trying to get 3 wiggling puppies to pose for a picture.

Exxon is so happy and you would never know she just had been spayed. However I did have the LVT check her and all seemed well.

I did ask about Maddy the dog on AC site and it was adopted out. Julie stated she went to a great home.

There is a choke chain and flea comb in the grooming room sink I sprayed with bleach and forgot to put them away so if you read this and go in please hang the collar on hook near back door and flea comb can go back in drawer.

If you are showing cats in the condo, please make sure people do not pet a cat through the bars then pet a different cat . Some of the cats currently in cages have colds. I had that happen today after I had just explained they should not put hands from one cage to another without sanitizing between cats. I tried to explain to the lady that she had just transmitted one cats illness to the other cat. She became very indignant and left. People just don't seem to understand how easy it is transmit disease. Hopefully we can educate them.

The shelter is open Friday regular hours.

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter Weekend.
