Day Planner - The horse lovers of Arkansas are working with the Humane Society of Pulaski County in a project to raise funds to support the Society in its efforts to rescue abused and abandoned animals, including horses.
The project is a beautiful spiral bound day planner for 2005.
You can help by purchasing a page with a photograph of your dogs, cats, ferrets, horsesor all of the above, plus your children, grandkids, etc. And by showing the information to anyone you know who might be interested.
We are modeling our planner on the ones successfully produced by animal groups in Tulsa and Santa Fe. There's a sample at the shelter that wed be happy to show you. They are really beautiful and useful, and will make great gifts. There is a picture of this years Tulsa planner on our website,
On the home page of our web site, you can go to *new-2005 dayplanner* for pictures, prices, and sponsorship forms. We will have a picture of our own cover art available soon.
We can still use more clerical help with the Science Diet cards; weve made real progress, but could still use help. This is a requirement of the program we have with Science Diet, and we kind of got behind in sending them in. We are almost caught upjust a few more to go. Thanks to Ann, and Mary, and everyone who has been helping with this.
We have firmed up our 2004 Dog Wash Schedule. The calendar is on on the website.
April 10 - Pet Photo Shoot at the mall store. There is a nice poster on the web--think about printing it out and placing a few where folks can see them. The pictures have been wonderful, they can include kids with the pets--it's a good deal for the money, and a good fundraiser for HSPC!
April 23 - Earth Day at the Zoo. We set up an information booth and take adoptables.
All day, every day at the shelter ---help is needed walking, bathing, playing with the dogs and cats of HSPC. The more time you spend with them, the more adoptable they become.
Adoptions: Bonnie, Bertha, Merlot, Nadia, Bianca, Buster Boy, Aragon; Richard, Mary (cats), and lots of cats and kittens
Also, we have lots and lots of mama cats with newborn kittens, who would love to have a nice temporary home for a few weeks. These are easy fostersmamma does all the workjust needs food, water, a litter box and some gentle attention. They usually stay in one place and tend the kittens. We are running out of nursery space---it is really kitten season!
If you would like to help, call Julie or Vickie at the shelter-227-6166.
I want to remind everyone that if they ever have problems or questions about helping at the shelter, please let me know.
Check this website: www.warmhearts.org; I update the adoptable cats and dogd every Sunday night. I didnt add any pictures this week, camera is broken!) And check in on the KTHV webcam. You might catch a kitty or puppy doing something cute!
