. 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! Alexis, Brad and Jennifer are going...
***CORRECTION : Our Kroger cards made $710.00 for July! 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. I just brought 50 more over to the shelter.
