Foster
Care fur-kids have their profiles noted accordingly. The foster
updates help you and us know if a particular fur-kid is suitable for
your home. Andrea is fostering the whiskered ones. Andrea prefer
felines over canines & there are plenty of whiskers to rescue!
The
Good Samaritan Care Center visits were Miles & Cinderella making
the rounds with Marti, Allan & me. Later that same day Miles &
Cinder attended the Boys & Girls Elementary Torch Club of the Cole
Camp School , Grades K-5. We discussed kindness to pets with 24
children. The children had made pet treats & also pet pillows out
of gently used T-shirts. What a colorful collection! The key
objectives of the club are character development, leadership building
& service projects geared at giving back to the community.
Adoptions
moved along nicely. Mildred failed Fostering 101, adopted Elmo. Judy V
handled the adoption of Rose, Halley, Ms. Effie, Cream Puff. Susan
& Judith handled the adoption of Delilah. Andrea handled the
adoption of Whiskers. Susan handled the adoption of Katie. Marti
handled the adoption of Miles. Jedediah Curtis & Boyd
finished the month getting their fur-ever homes. TEAMwork! Together
Everyone Achieves Much! The fosters are PRICELESS! We need more great
foster homes to save more lives. Petey the Cole Camp Pound black
lab/pit bull mix finally got his fur-ever home! He was the longest
resident at the pound.
We
have an alert from one of our adopters that we feel must be discussed
with those of you that have adopted kennel dogs. You may read about
the hospitalization of Cirri due to poo eating. http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=1077928
When we got this information & shared it with some of our
adopters, Mindi advised us that their vet was asking the same thing
about Sophie, poo eating? Sadly, Sophie became an Angel Dog the next
day, never recovered. We know she must be with Charlie Brown, lighting
up the Rainbow Bridge for Christmas & "Woofing" in Happy
New Year!
This
is the time of year to check that medicine cabinet, throw away
outdated drugs. Review your Vial of Life (www.vialoflife.com)
& any other medical directives.

continues to make this life saving work possible. Rural area, internet
exposure helps our fur-kids get fur-ever homes. Check out their home
page weekly for updates on all they do to help us help those that
cannot speak for themselves.
We
could not do this work without your continued support. God bless you
each & every one. A special "THANKS" to those that sent
or brought gifts for the fur-kids. Your kindness is simply
overwhelming! God luv ya'll! Your generosity has helped make life much
better for our rescued fur-kids as they continue to wait patiently for
a fur-ever home. Rescue life is good yet a fur-ever home is better!
And
last, but not least, a very special prayer for those in uniform
keeping us safe & free. In the words of a very dear friend
"How would we have the ability to take the time, enjoy the right
to do so, if not for the sacrifices made, by our men and women in
uniform? Perhaps today, they are sitting in a trench, walking a
patrol, in harm's way ... Freedom has never been free: they are making
payments. To our men and women in uniform: Thank You!"
