Finding Pets Fur-Ever Homes

Bridge Kid was Tarot Yoda Jackson, leaving Sue to mourn. She also left behind a group of transporters that helped her on her ride from Sedalia MO shelter to her new home in Ocala FL with Sue. Just a tiny little blind, senior chow that spent her days rocking in the chair with Sue.

Adoptions were Joe, leaving from foster care with Sally.

Cole Camp Pound  was way past maximum capacity for April and May. Seven total impounds and no one came forth for their pet or to adopt. Working feverishly with locals to find a solution.

You can make a difference for the pet population by purchasing “I’m Pet Friendly” license plates. http://mda.mo.gov/animals/health/petfriendly.php

What we did this month - Judy V & her Montrose gang participated in the Montrose Memorial Day Festival parade. They had a pet photo contest fund raiser for the feral cat program, contests & prizes for cats, dogs, a miniature longhorn steer and an Anfrican spur tortoise. Their float was sponsored by "Rescue Me" their feral cat program & 7 Bells Sanctuary. Brenda came with Beluga her cart dog pulling a cart with flowers. Judy V had several of the Boston Terriers in the parade including Izzy & Trampas, as well as volunteers Terry, Misty, Charlie and Gracie. 2 galf carts decarated with feral cats Rescue Me  & 7 Bells spay/neuter, Adopt first, big and little dog bones and hand drawn cats and dogs made by Gracie.

Petfinder.com has a classified section you may list your unwanted pet in hopes to find a new home. Most rescues are full to bursting at the seams. You best know your pet and may promote him/her on their classified section.

Wish List - We are so grateful when we receive those gently used items. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

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. In the words of a 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!"
