This week was a little crazy.  Full moon I guess.  The dogs were really acting up at the shelter.  We had two dogs with parvo that came in with it.  One was a little chi from the vet.  She was pretty sick and had been sick for several days.  The family gave her up so we took her.  Tonight she was starving and ate some chicken.  The other was a pup and he is doing great.  Back to normal.  Whew!!  We are able to use a new drug called Cerenia to treat the dogs with parvo and it has made a huge difference in the recovery. 
   Adoptions were pretty good this week.  The dogs that went to a new home were:  Biddly, Crumpet, Rochelle!!, Penelope was returned and readopted, Vivian, Elsa, Sadie, Owen, and Kingston.  Kitties going home were: Princess, Keesha, Mia, Cindy, and Sheena.  Fourteen adoptions in all!!  Also, Camilla went to a foster home.  Carrie Ann went on a trial.
   Our new pull from the Clinton Co. Pound gave us a big surprise with 5 new babies.  Cadence, a beautiful gray Great Dane, was a very thin stray.  We got her on Thursday and on Tues. she had her babies.  All girls!
   The Troy road block was great!!  It was a beautiful day and people were in a good mood.  We raised between $1400.00 -1500.00 (depending on changeamount) for the animals at the shelter. Big thanks to all who helped at the roadblock-Kate, Cindy, Bob, Dominic, Lucy, Jason, Shannon, Paula and Shannon.  Also to Camilla and Vivian who came and showed people why we are doing this.  Viv got adopted today!!
   Next Saturday is the P4P Howl-o-Ween Pet Party at the Troy FCB Bank.  It is from 9 AM til 2 PM.  There will be food, about 25-30 vendors, adoptions, and costume contests.  Please come by!
