Wednesday August 7, 2002It's been a busy year for kittens and puppies. I don't remember ever having so many! Thanks to all the Warm Hearts out there, we have had over a huge number in foster care, and many have been adopted into good homes.
Our Delta Dog Daze was a lot of fun. A large number of people came out for the contests, and we got some donations, and received all the money from the entrance fees. There were some wonderful, funny dogs there, and they and their families seemed to have a great time. Delta Trust wants to make it an annual event. No problem there!
Our DogWashes are doing well, with three more to go. So far, we have made over $6000.
We've been adding animals to our website, including a special needs section. Check it out-- www.warmhearts.org
