tuesday update

I stopped by the shelter today just to say howdy to Lewey and Mr. Dot. I had just returned them to the shelter Monday, now that they are ready to be adopted out.

There was a woman there wanting to adopt out Tinkerbell. She had emailed an application and I had her complete one from the door as Bob was working in the office. As soon as she crossed the last T and dotted the last I , I was on the phone checking out her references, turns out everything was in order, had excellent vet reference and within 1/2 hour she was out the door taking her new pet home. Please see note on her application regarding adoption.

I had to leave and Bob was trying to get information on two other applications. When I returned at 5pm Rebecca was there and had approved another application for either Wally or Snuggles, so those people are scheduled to come in and adopt one of those kittens wednesday after 3pm.

We are waiting to hear back from the landlord regarding one application. Once we get the landlords approval and reference from landlord we may have another cat being adopted out. It is my understanding we are going to have to work to get the applications processed in a more timely manner as we need to reduce the number of cats we have in the condo currently. So office staff please try to make sure that all applications are processed on your shift if at all possible.

We have had some adoptions coming out of the back room also . But it's not enough more kittens are pouring into the shelter then are getting adopted out. Also mention the adopt one and get a second cat or kittens for 1/2 price I know I have adopted out two sets.

If they come out of back 30.00 goes to AC the person pays us 55. on day of adoption and we can put the two cats on assisi which they will pay us the difference on day of van make sure you note on assisi paperwork they owe money and on assisi log. it should be $42.50 and if they are kittens they will need boosters and there is an extra 5.00 charge for each kitten making it a total of $52.50 to be paid on day of assis. I hope that will clear up confusion that one of our office persons had regarding this matter. However if the cats/kittens are all from condo and have been spay/neutered and are upto date on shots then they must pay the $127.50 since they will not be coming back to get on van.

Need to check and make sure all dogs have been vaccinated. Julie was out of the office for a couple of days so it was hectic and I am not sure all dogs got vaccinated.

Because of the really hot weather just check before leaving office for day that all animals have water. The animals are drinking it faster then we can pour it in their bowls.

Thanks folks for your tireless devotion to the shelter pets. Don't forget Thursday is Rescue Waggin day we have a lot of dogs going to rescue so if you can help us out at 5 am that morning we need all hands on deck. Email Rebecca and let her know you will be coming to help.

Stay cool yourself and drink plenty of water.
