Cole Camp pound dogs, beagle M/N and Lab/BC X M/N both to Sedalia, public access. Both found homes through that public access.

Sherry (who maintains our 1-800-Save-A-Pet & Pets911 sites) took her German Shepherd, Major, to visit the Good Samaritan Care Center. His first time to visit, he did splendidly, sat upon command, showing off his obedience training given by Trina.

Susan has worked tirelessly to get www.7bellssanctuary.com up & running. It's more educational in nature. The banner on mature pets links directly to our petfinder adoptable page. Please visit that site when time permits. Get a kleenex when you go to the Poems button via the Site Map.

We are working feverishly to get more dentals & vacc. updated. Some of the fur-kids have been here a year. We had several dentals updated Dec. & Jan.with foster parents handling vet trips. We now have more to do. Dental hygiene is of utmost importance. Bacteria may affect kidneys, thus impact heart & lungs.

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.

Betsy Saul, Co-Founder of petfinder.com has this message for us "I'm tired of the same old problem. Experts tell us four million pets will be killed this year — many of them because they are homeless. Euthanasia to prevent suffering is one thing, but you and I need to get all of the ADOPTABLE pets into loving homes. Please help me in '08 by either fostering a pet or telling five people about Petfinder each week. Together we can end the euthanasia of adoptable pets."

"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 it cannot begin to compare with a fur-ever home.
