The Rotary Club of Maumelle is having their 3rd annual Dog Show on September 8th from 9am-noon, and has invited us to speak about adoption and spaying/neutering pets and also to show off some cute adoptables. If you would like to take an adoptable over to this event, let me know. It is a short time frame, and early, so shouldn't get too hot. And it should be fun to see the Dog Show!
The shelter is continuing the adoption specials through August; the cost of adopting a cat or dog, kitten or puppy, is be $50 instead of $75; it will still include everything---shots, spay, etc. So if you were thinking of adopting, this should be a little incentive.
Our Kroger cards made $597.00 for July! Same as June!. Please remember to use them. You can purchase them at the shelter, or at our Mall store. (You can't get them at Kroger). If you don't know how they work, let me know and I'll explain this painless way to make money for the shelter.
We have a wonderful Humane Ed program going, so if you know of anyone who would like Christine to come to your school, library, daycare, church, business…to do a program on animal care, and bring puppies!!!...let me know. Christine is now a Certified Humane Educator, and does a wonderful job

Encourage people you know to come down and adopt a dog or cat. We have so many more than we have room for. And shelter animals make the best pets!! We have so many wonderful cats and dogs just waiting for a good home. Dogs having fun in the park are getting adopted faster. People love seeing them having fun, instead of sitting in a cage. So come down and take some out to the park! And cats need petting and brushing, and everyone needs attention! And you can help keep cages clean and water bowls full.
Adoptions: Jelly (Lily), Dottie, CoCo, Carley, Nala (the blind kitty!), Bozo, Frankie, Patience, Caesar, Goldie, Gizmo, Jeff
Next Volunteer Orientation : Monday August 20, 6 PM at the shelter
