Lots of activity this week. Thirteen adoptions. Must be our lucky number this week. The dogs that were adopted were: Annie the Puggle, Ellie, Carrie Ann, Ranger (the puppy that had Parvo and made it), and Velvet. Arvid was adopted but came back when the family kitty tried to eat him. Cats that were adopted were: Darling, Willie, Beth, Hector, Rowena, Gulliver, Victor and Daisy.
Duchess went to a foster home as did Cuddles. Axel, Britta and Camilla also went to a foster home. Foster homes are so important. Only fostering one would make a huge difference for that one.
Busy week with rescues coming in. Wonder woman, Lisa K, rescued 13 dogs and pups out of the Springfield AC. We took a few here and the rest went to foster homes. One poor pooch, Kelsey Mae, was in terrible shape under tons of matts, sores and crud. Good job girl! That's 13 pooches that would not be with us now if not for 1 persons shear determination. That is what rescue is all about. Going above and beyond the call of duty to help an animal in need. I am happy to say we have alot of people in our group willing to go the extra to help. When everyone works together and the focus is clear, so much can be accomplished. Everyone does their part and the total is awesome!! So many more animals saved. Check out FaceBook to see the Springfield 13 pictures.
Met a lot of very nice people at the Troy/Maryville/St. Jacob Chamber of Commerce Business Expo at the Triad HS on Thurs. PM. Got the word out about the Howl-o-Ween Party and Rabies Clinic. Nev and I manned the booth and talked to a few potential fosters and volunteers. Dawn and her crew with the Chamber did a great job as usual.
The Howl-o-Ween Pet Party at the Troy FCB Bank was awesome!! We had a great time and really appreciate Diana and her crew at the bank for hosting it. Free food, fun and really great weather. Lots of very nice merch with the vendors. Izzy from the Grizzlies came for a visit. Hawthorne Vet Clinic did a low cost Rabies Clinic for the public. Great turn out for that. Big thanks to Dr. McKinney and his crew. Our tent was right behind the Kettle Corn booth. Lovely smells of kettle corn. We did an adoption with another pending. Possible foster home for Ranger-keep your fingers crossed. Lots of people stopping by to say hello and visit with their adopted dog. The costume contest was a riot. Dylan the spaghetti chef was so funny. See her picture on the FaceBook page. All in all a great time. And we riased over $1300.00 for the rescues. Again our lucky number. Thanks to all the volunteers who came to help. BIG THANK YOU!!! to Jennifer and Meghan for all their hard work putting this event together to help the shelter dogs and cats. Great job!!
