Bye Twiggy & Topaz

YES!!!!! Twiggy and Topaz two black cats that have been residents in the condo for a while now have found forever homes with a vet tech student.

Sad news! The person who was considering Birdie and Ariel has reconsidered so both these great cats will be with us longer.

Some one is interested in Lewey I hope they are able to take Dot also, if he gets left behind please watch him he may get very depressed could stop eating.

Well the Assisi Van will be here Sept 4th. I am planning on putting all adoptable dogs that are eligible on the van. In the hopes that this will encourage potential owners to adopt knowing they are good to go.

If you are in the shelter when someone gives up their dog please ask them to fill out a canine/feline information sheet and if possible find out who the vet is and ask could they get their vet to fax the dog/cat records to the shelter. This information could be very helpful in placing the animal and possibly save that pet from euth.

As you know we are down to one immate at this time. I have been in the shelter all week cleaning and grooming animals. We can't expect everything to be sparkling at 8:30 am. But if you ask the immate if the room has been cleaned and you go in and see the same dirty towels from the night before, or the cat room is "cleaned" but the floor is filthy just tell AC or if you have time maybe you can clean it xor dump trash buckets. Right now every bit of help is valuable.

We have alot of dogs that are house broken but there is shortage on dog walkers. If you can rotate the dogs out to the exercise pens. be careful the little dogs are squeezing out of the pens and getting into the next pen. Almost all dogs in puppy room are house broke. Watch out for Prissy the elderly Poodle she is snappish and we have had to feed her a can of dog food a day because she was not eating dry food. Check the water bowls too and make sure the puppies have a lower dish for water cause they can't reach the tall water cans.

I hope we can hire someone for the cleaning position soon. The pets lives are at stake. They rely on humans to keep their environment clean and safe. As captives they rely on Humans for their food water and exercise and a kind word and gesture goes along way with some of our animals. So as you walk by give them a treat. Take them for a walk and if needed give them a bath or report fleas or other health concerns so they can be addressed.

Thank God for volunteers. The ones we have are putting in as many hours as they can. We need many more. The rewards are many not anything tangible, edible or that you can see. But the good feeling you get from helping out a small helpless creature.

Hope you all have a safe and wonderful weekend!!!
