Bridge Kids - Duncan, leaving Natalie & Richard to mourn, Aimee leaving Cindy to mourn, Big Meaty leaving Wade to mourn, Christmas Candy leaving Tom & Colleen to mourn.

 Foster care families do a fantastic job evaluating, loving, letting go to make room for another. Once they adopt out a fur-kid that permits them to take in another to foster. We need more GREAT foster homes as more fur-kids are at risk in kill shelters.

 Good Samaritan Care Center visits were Remington Steele, Hercules (with Char), Chaos (wit Jo Anne).

 Adoptions began with Charlotte, Winniferd & Rambo leaving from the Sanctuary, Lancelot leaving foster care from Andrea, ChaCha leaving foster care from Char, Kendal leaving foster care from Judy V, Chaos left her home for a new home.

 Cole Camp pound began the month empty. Then it quickly began to fill, one young black chow male mix, then 8 puppies left in a plastic tub at the locked pound gate. Thanks to Howard Fence Co., Mayor of Clabbertown, & Pennies for Pooches the puppy quarantine area was ready for the new arrivals. However, all the puppies were vet checked, then sent out within 48 hours to a rescue out of the area that was set up to better handle pups in quarantine. Whew!! The month ended with just Clancy, the chow/BC mix neutered, vaccinated, additional time permitted to find him a home. A Lincoln POLICE case was impounded at the Cole Camp pound.

 Allan helped transport kennel dogs from a vet to another rescue. Even if we can't personally take some dogs into our rescue we are willing to help other rescues. We also had a short time layover to help 2 rescues with their pull to safety. Only one quarantine pen so only one dog at a time may we assist with.

We are also listing on our site some special cases. Kitty's dad has gone into an assisted living facility. Kitty's vet is boarding her while we work to find her a fur-ever home. A local senior needs to find homes for her young dogs, is keeping her seniors. Jervis, Chaos & Delilah all need homes. Ms. Kitty & the 3 young dogs are on our site. We have met all the fur-kids, vet records will be sent with them. We also took in our first chicken, Dolly Parton, an escapee from the truck heading to a poultry processing plant. Since she has cheated death once we hope to find her a fur-ever home to live life as a pet, not to accompany mashed potatoes & gravy.

Upcoming Events - Cole Camp Fair is Sept. 10, 11, 12. The plan is to be on Rosebud Gifts & Fabric lawn on Saturday AM with some fosters, volunteers, fur-kids to "Meet & Greet." Sept. 26 is the Jim Maxwell Bicycle Tour.

 Petfinder.com has expanded information on their home page, a wealth of educational materials. Please check it out when time permits.

 Wish List - 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 that may be used for the fur-kids.

 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!"
