***New item*** We are hoping to build a fenced-in doggie playground on the west side of the shelter. We need to consider design, materials needed, installation, etc. We will need to get donations of materials, tools (borrow), and labor. If you are interested in helping with this, let me know, and we will set up a planning meeting to discuss ideas, and get it started. Wouldnt it be great to have it ready for spring? Susan H is already involved.
Puppy Lovewe are having more visits, and this is great! But we could always use more. Consider contacting the agencies and setting up a visit, then contact the list to get a partner or two. Also, contact the list if you are new, and would like to accompany more experienced Puppy Lovers on their visits. If you need the list of agencies, or the list of Puppy Love volunteers, let me know.
I will be sending out a separate e-mail about a dog transfer needed for Saturday.
