We mourn the brief time Gerry was with Judy V, puppy foster mom, passing in her sleep. We also extend sympathy to Christina & Hope as Bitsey became an Angel Dog, Kim on the passing of Buddy, her cart boy. Kelly passed to the Bridge in her sleep, never having found her fur-ever home.

"Hoppy" & Jolly are with Susan, Alyssa with Gerry, Omi with Barb, Chloe with Velma, Jessie, Tilly & puppies Elizabeth, Victoria, Lil Art, Buford, Beauregard, are with Judy V, Bambi with Judith, Violet with Barbara, Bittsie & Dodi with Char, Puddles, CocoaPuff, Charo, puppies Lil Sammy, Onchu are with Trina at fetchnfun.petfinder.com We are blessed beyond measure with such great foster homes with the volume we have heading into winter. God luv 'em all!

We give THANKS this month for all of those wonderful ways so many of you have helped us help Team Whiteman (Whiteman Air Force Base) Craft supplies, games, toys. Project Cinderella brought in evening dresses for formal events at the base. We are overwhelmed at the generosity of so many. Mike & Donna came from the base to Cole Camp, took back a truck load of goodies. The Bee Bomber (a pumpkin decorated like a bumbleebee) from Whiteman AFB took 1st place at the Christbaumfest decorated pumpkin contest. The Bee Bomber arrived with WAFB Erin, Joyce, Ronin, then left on display at Rosebud Gifts & Fabric. Rosebud provided the prizes & complimentary gifts to all the visiting WAFB folks.

Christbaumfest found Bambi & Violet meeting & greeting visitors at Maxwell's Woodcarving Shop with Marti, Barb, Paula & Alesha telling folks about the great fur-kids that wait patiently in rescue.

Do you have a Happy Tail? All of our adopters do! Please send Petfinder.com your pet's happy ending story. It will be entered in their monthly Happy "Tail" drawing. You may win a Man's Best Friend Fun Pack & a baseball cap from the friends at The Animal Rescue Site.

We give thanks to each of you who so generously give of your time & talents to help these fur-kids as they wait patiently for their fur-ever homes. Rescue life is good, yet a fur-ever home is best. We could not do this work without your continued support. God bless you each & every one.

The well trained volunteers will be running the Sanctuary during December. They will handle adoptions, intakes, paperwork, phone calls, assist City Hall with pound dogs.

And last, but not least, a very special prayer for our heros here and in a far away land keeping us safe & free. May our Lord wrap His bubble of protection about them & those that wait, worry & pray until they return home safely.
