Our bricks are in! Years ago, we had a brick drive---people could buy a brick and have it inscribed with their name, or that of a pet. The money raised was used for our new building. We are now ready to make a beautiful walkway with the bricks. If you have brick-setting skills and would like to help, please let us know.
Help with Tile - Also, we received a donation of a lot of tile. We want to use it in place of the rubber cove molding, which the animals trash quickly. If you would like to help set the tile (at the bottom of the walls), let us know. We'd like to start this project soon.
Saturday September 17 - -Dog wash at Kroger made $765...thanks to Billye and Stoney, Gene, Whitleigh and Tammy, and John Pan. Karen and Susann also helped, and of course John T. Our total for the year is right at $10,000!
Whiskers at the Mall, Saturday Sept 24 - If you would like to help at our mall store contact Chris at ellischris@uams.edu
Saturday September 24 - One extra dog wash at Trinity - all proceeds to go to our Dog Park fund. Thanks to a major donation, we have almost enough money to get started with fencing and plumbing for our dog play area. Come out an help Karen and Susann make it a success. Our Dog Play area is going to happen!!!!
Saturday September 24 - Event at Little Rock Dog Training Club - need dog escorts. This should be a fun event.
October 13 - Dayplanner release party - an" invitation only" party for all the sponsors and people who bought pages in the dayplanner.
We need a few people to help get the books to the people who pre-purchased, and bought a page. We will have a table set up at the party; Toby and I have volunteered to do this, and we need about two more. This is at a lovely home in the city, and runs from 7 to 10. If you want more information, let me know.
Reigning Cats and Dogs - We had a wonderful turn out at our meeting; If you are interested in helping with registration, check out (cashiers), ticket sales, publicity, poster distribution, and/or set up and take down at the event, or table monitor, let me know and I will have the committee chairman contact you.
Homes needed - If you know some one who wants a Chihuahua, MinPin, or other small dog, we still have some available from the rescue in Stone County; have them contact Kay at the shelter.
Octobe 1 - Pageant at University Mall proceeds to HSPC. Do you, or someone you know have a gorgeous little boy or girl? Volunteer Brittney Ward, who runs pageants, is running one with proceeds to HSPC. If you want to participate, or want more information, contact Brittney at brittney1979@hotmail.com. I have entrance and donation forms, too, if you want some.

November 11 - Second Friday Art Night in Little Rock. Rivermarket ArtSpace is dedicating a percentage of sales this night to HSPC. We can have dogs and cats there, and hand out information. Plus have a good time!Second Friday Art Night is a lot of fun--free trolley rides from gallery to galle ry; food, wine, art...and this time, cats and dogs! ArtSpace owner Debra Wood is an HSPC supporter, and recently adopted a darling kitty from us You can check her website at: www.rivermarketartspace.com- click on "gallery news."
Also, volunteers, think about helping with adoptions. More animals get adopted if the potential adopters get personal attention. Helping with adoptions is my favorite thing to do, but I am not there all the time. If you like seeing our dogs and cats going to wonderful homes, and would like to help with adoptions, let me know, and I will be happy to get you started
A reminder - if you have an HSPC Kroger Gift card, don't forget to use it! And we have some more, if you know anyone who wants one.

You can contact Christina for more information at: ramseyresources@aol.com Her phone # is 766-6662. Christina has a lotof peple on her list, but is having a hard time getting teams together for visits. This is something you can do with your kids!
