The well trained volunteers were operating the Sanctuary during December & will continue through January. They are doing a SWELL job handling adoptions, intakes, paperwork, phone calls, vet trips, assist City Hall with pound dogs. TEAMwork! Together Everyone Achieved Much!

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. Monica & Amanda took a station wagon full of items to the base. 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 was left on display at Rosebud Gifts & Fabric. Rosebud provided the prizes & complimentary gifts to all the visiting WAFB folks.

Christmas was made extremely bright for all the fur-kids thanks to the many items that arrived from Team Whiteman as well as previous adopters & sponsors. God luv ya all for thinking of these ancient ones. We weep with joy at your kindness & care. The pups were thrilled with all the toys, rarely had to share with an old timer.

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.
