A Week at the Shelter


Hey folks

This week at the shelter has been really busy. Unfortunately we are full and overflowing at the seams. Today we finally had three inmates and the shelter looks lots better. Spud got adopted today and Bambi is going tomorrow. Jeff and Shilo are going to rescue on Saturday!! Thanks so much to Nicole for the transport and of course to Rebecca for all the arrangments.

Thanks to Joann for doing meds today. She's so much smoother than me. It took me forever yesterday.

If anyone has extra time, even though we have Keely, we do need volunteers to be at the shelter working with the public and helping them choose pets, grooming and walking and so many other tasks. Please spend any time you have there. Feel free to ask Keely or the office person in charge what needs doing today.

Wanted to remind everyone to think about Bob who just had disc surgery and is out for awhile and also Anita who is with her mom having heart surgery today. Mom is doing fine. Anita should be back by next week.

Other goings on include applying for a grant with the Community Foundation to help ofset the cost of spays in our clinic. Thanks so much to Jane Bell for writing this and Becky for the financial info to go with it. Keep your fingers crossed. We've asked for $5000 to spay neuter pets of low income as well as designated some for pitbulls----Pit Snip anyone?

Precious and Ginger are still at the shelter and desperately need a loving home. Please tell all your friends. The good news is that our discount cat adoption fee resulted in 15 adoptions from the condo last month. YEAH!!!

Well, rest up until tomorrow.

I sure hope more dogs get adopted over the weekend. Iam really concerned about some of the dogs not finding homes. I know everyone is busy I will be in to try and lend a helping hand next week. My moms procedure did go well. We took er out walking to day and she got tired. But she did wake up feeling good this morning.
