NEWS AND EVENTS

HSPC Week, 2 October 2006

You probably saw on the news that Kay busted a Puppy Mill, and we took in 50 small dogs. They are not yet ready for adoption, and we have over 70 applications already. If you know someone who wants one of these Yorkies or Bostons, they need to come to the shelter and fill out an application, and approved adopters will be notified when they are ready. They still need to be legally surrendered, and need veterinary attention before they can be adopted... Donations to help with their care and vet bills will be very much appreciated.

We still need a few volunteers for Reigning Cats and Dogs, October 21. It is getting close So far we have:

Saturday Set up: Hayden, Mary Stephens, Heather McCutcheon, Joe Longinotti, Amanda Carter, Jerod Ohman, Hannah Lopez, Amanda Carter, Jack & Christine Henderson Nancy Thaden, Toby Fair, Melinda Ward (Definitely need more here- no training necessary)

Friday Morning Set-up & Transport - Sandra Belin, Amanda Carter, Jenni Perry (maybe) Jack & Christine Henderson, Melinda Ward. Could use a few more with large vehicles.- Live Auction: Evelyn Behrle & Julie Robinson

Table Monitors: Julie Robinson, Lisa Crow, Cord Crow, Heather Martin, Sybil Taylor, Bob Taylor, Jack Henderson, Christine Henderson, Melanie Morgan, Karen Waldroff. Suzanne Szmania, Jerod Ohman, Hannah Lopez, Theresa Booth, Evelyn Behrle (?) (Could use a few more - prefer experience already, if not will need to have a short training session with either Debbie or Karen on the morning of the event).

If you want to help, or this is not correct, let me know, and also contact Debbie Howell at nicsmom5@aristotle.net

And, if you dont want to help, think about buying a ticket and coming down to join us for our big fund-raiser. They are always fun, and there are lots of great auction items!! October 21, 7-10 PM, DoubleTree Hotel

If you are a FEDERAL EMPLOYEE, remember that HSPC is a Combined Federal Campaign agency, and please consider making us your charity of choice. Also, we have our beautiful new brochures, so if you have a place where charities can leave information (or want a speaker!), let me know, and will provide them. OUR CORRECT NUMBER IS 9032

Mary has scheduled PUPPY LOVE visits at Dorcas House for the first Saturday of every month, 11-1; if you are interested in going on a visit, contact Mary at mmstephens@ashland.com

Our Kroger cards made us $561 last month. If you dont have an HSPC Kroger card, please get one. If you have one, dont forget to use it, and if you dont know about them, let me know and I will explain this painless way to make money for the shelter.

If you are interested in going on a Puppy Love visit, contact Shanna at semorris@ualr.edu

**If you no longer wish to receive these newsletters each week, let me know, and I will remove you from the list. Also, they sometimes are marked spam because I send so many at once.

** Adoptions: Grizzley; Doobie; Robbie; Ginger; Sanari; Paula; Foxy. Please encourage people you know to give a shelter animal a chance, or consider fostering an animal for a while. We have had a lot of adoptions of animals in foster care.

And check our website www.warmhearts.org. I add new animals every Sunday night.
