Cinderella, SnowWhite, TeddyBear, BabyCakes, & Cher are with Paula & Alesha (keeping all the foo-foo kids groomed weekly). Shadrach & Meshack are with Jennifer. Pearl is with Tracy. CocoaPuff is with Trina We still need more foster homes as we must say "No!" to many fur-kids at risk.

Good Samaritan Care Center visit by Bubbles as he put on his Dino & Barney costume. He was such a cuddler, sat on laps, got lots of petting from the residents & even staff members. The residents would talk about their former pets.

Adoptions were Muffin, Cheeda, Elsa, Skeeter, Ginger (Char failed Fostering 101, adopted her), Thomas Allan (handled by Judy V), Abednego (handled by Susan), Wilbur (handled by Tracy), Lazarus (handled by Paula).

June 7 was the City Wide garage sale, car/motorcycle show, bar-b-q contest. Bubbles was on the lawn at Rosebud Gifts & Fabrics to "Meet & Greet" with pictures of the rescue fur-kids waiting patiently for a fur-ever home. He LOVES to meet visitors.

Our newsletters are now on-line thanks to Susan.

We are so grateful when we receive those gently used items. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Please continue to think of us & our little Cole Camp/Lincoln pound before throwing anything away.

Saving your pennies? Please bring them to Cole Camp Pharmacy, Maxwell's Woodcarving, or The Gilded Lily. Those businesses are raising "Pennies for Pooches" to help make life better for the Cole Camp pound dogs. The goal is for every pound dog to be spayed/neutered prior to transfer to another rescue/shelter. Adopted pound dogs are altered PRIOR to placement in their new home with the adopter doing a pre-pay to City Hall. Rosebud Gifts & Fabric has a donation jar to help the 7 Bells Sanctuary fur-kids.

With rising gas/fuel prices it's a great time for adopters or pet lovers to come to town, spend the entire day, shop at many of our pet friendly establishments. Rosebud Gifts & Fabric, Maple St. Cafe, Maxwell's Woodcarving, Gilded Lily, Buzzard Roost, Handel Haus, Prairie Mercantile will have discount cards added to adoption packets beginning the month of June. Any Red Hat Society members reading this? Prairie Mercantile has the neatest selection of red & purple coffee makers & toasters, & they are wheelchair accessible!

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.

And last, but not least, a very special prayer for those in uniform keeping us safe & free. May our Lord wrap His Bubble of Protection about them & those that wait patiently for their return.
