Angel Dogs at the Rainbow Bridge are James waiting for Mark & Sherry, Vego passing before he was able to get his fur-ever home, Champ waiting for Cynthia.

 Our fur-kids in foster care have their profiles notated accordingly. The foster parents make it possible for us to do the volume we are currently doing. We also have locals, Allan, Loyde & Phil helping with transports for other rescues. Allan is always eager to help. Loyde & Phil now are "experienced" with one transport under their belts. TEAMwork! Together Everyone Achieves Much!

Good Samaritan Care Center visits were woefully absent this month. We hope to be back in the groove for September.

Adoptions began with Lil Harry & Sami. They continued with Shane, Stanley, Moses, Ashton, Richard, Buck & Teto, their placements handled by foster mom Judy V. Also getting fur-ever homes were Dodi, Joshua, Pauli. Smurf's adoption was handled by Paula & Marti. Shasta's placement was handled by Paula. Barbara failed Fostering 101, adopted Sisco, Judy V handling the placement.

Our Cole Camp pound had two adoptions. The German Shepherd female (pre-paid adoption fee, will go to the family once the spay is done) & the neutered pit bull was able to enjoy the holiday week-end with his new family. Just a blue tick hound pup remains.

Local events will include the Cole Camp Fair Sept. 4, 5, 6 & well behaved pets on a leash are welcome throughout town. Sept. 20 will be the Clinton Dog Fest on the square & we plan to have several of the fur-kids there for "Meet & Greet." Only pre-approved adopters would be able to go home with a pet. Sept. 27 will be the Cole Camp 8th Annual Bicycle Show & Clabbertown Tour with pets being welcomed on the tour.

 We are collecting again this fall for the Whiteman Air Force Base Project Cinderella. If you have any formal wear please bring it to Rosebud Gifts & Fabric. Gerry will then hold it for a WAFB representative. We have sent 7 formals courtesy of Sisters Consignment Shop this month via Mary to Andrea for delivery to WAFB.

 We are FULL, fosters are FULL. The time has come to prepare like the industrious ant as winter will soon be here. We HOPE to get more foster homes to continue this volume. In the absence of that we will be putting a hold on intakes until some of our fur-kids find fur-ever homes. We pulled 9 fur-kids from a kill shelter over a 30 day period. These hard economic times are affecting everyone. Those fur-kids all appeared to have been loved, well cared for, just landed in the wrong place. They are now safe! Some already have fur-ever homes.

 Our newsletters are now on-line thanks to Susan. http://www.7bellssanctuary.com/newsletters.html  We will still e-mail them yet this gives new visitors to our site a chance to read more about us. It's a stroll down Memory Lane for us! Please check out www.petfinder.com if you haven't done so lately. The "Learn" section is my personal favorite. The "Local & Classified" is a wonderful way to list or search for Lost/Found pets.

 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. 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.
