Delta Dog Dayz was great fun as usual, and we made $931 for our animals. Thanks to Delta Trust for their support, and to our volunteers who helped, and who brought shelter dogs out to enjoy the dayJohn T, Debbie H, Billye and Stoney, Trevette, Martha and Larry, Kimber, Susann and Karen, Justin and Jessica...
Saturday May 21--Kroger in the Heights--our first 2006 Dog Wash at Kroger. Need lots of help. We start setting up at 8:15, and need help. Consider doing a shift---morning set up and wash, afternoon wash and help take down. At the last dog wash we washed about 80 dogs...so you know we need you! And it's really fun.
Sunday May 22---Birthday party at the shelter Need help with that, too
We could use some help with lawn care. We lost the underwriter for the lawn service, so we need to do it ourselves, probably every two weeks. Perhaps a few people could work out a rotating schedule.
Our annual meeting/picnic will be June 5 at 1PM at Burns Park. Bring a lunch--drinks will be provided. Bring your kids, dogs...help elect officers.
Puppy Love---We still need more volunteers for Puppy Love. Christina would like to schedule more visits. This is something you can do with your kids! You can contact Christina for more information at: ramseyresources@aol.com Her phone # is 766-6662.
Saturday, May 21 - Whiskers at the MallContact Chris if you can help. Ellischris@uams.edu
Day Planner - If you want to have your pets picture in our 2006 Dayplanner, let me know and I will send you a page purchase form We are limiting the number of pages, so it will be first come; last year we had to turn folks away! We also have updated information on the Warm Hearts website. - DEADLINE 6/1
TAK A DOGGIE HOME - We are still looking for some short-term fosters for some of our animals that would benefit from time away from the shelter (who wouldnt). Some time spent in a loving home might increase confidence and social skills, and make them more adoptable. If you are interested, or have any questions, let me know. One of our volunteers has been taking one of our long-timers on outings and overnights, and it will make this shy, scared dog adoptable.****Update--after 6 years in the shelter, she (Cecilia) has been adopted. She has gone to live with her sister, who was adopted 3 years ago, and our volunteer is working with another long-timer..
Poop Bags - One of our volunteers has put racks with poop bags by each door. Please take some and pick up after the dogs you walk! Now that it is nice weather, people will be spending more time outdoors with the animals. Lets all help keep it clean!
**There are little notebooks and pens on every dog/puppy cage at the shelter. If you walk a dog, please note the date/time on the notepad. It will help get more dogs walked more often, if volunteers can see who has been walked when.
