Our volunteer orientation was cancelled last Monday due to a power outage, so if you know anyone who was planning to come, we have rescheduled for 1/29, tonight, at 6Thanks to all the folks who helped at the birthday party today--I was feeling really sick, and was glad for the chance to just watch! It was a big party, and the kids had a great time.
And thank you to all the people who offered to help Oscar get a home. I forwrded all replies to his family, and the decision as to where to place him is up to them, as they know him best

Our KROGER CARDS made us $457. last month, We can do better than that!! If you don’t have an HSPC Kroger card, please get one. If you have one, don’t forget to use it, and if you don’t know about them, let me know and I will explain this painless way to make money for the shelter. The trick is to remember to use them!!
Next Birthday party--first Sunday in March
Whiskers at the Mall, our off-site adoption center and store, needs someone to take over management from Chris. Chris has done a fabulous job for several years, but has other demands on his time now. Managing involves scheduling help and transports, keeping track of inventory, etc..Also, we need a few more people available for transporting animals from the shelter to the store, and back again., and to help at the store on Saturdays. If you are interested, let me know. If you want more details, or want to help at the store next week, contact chris at: ellischris@uams.edu
If you are a FEDERAL EMPLOYEE, remember that HSPC is a Combined Federal Campaign agency, and please consider making us your charity of choice.

We can always use HELP AT THE SHELTER---walking dogs, taking them out to our dog park, brushing cats, playing with cats, and helping potential adopters choose the perfect pet.
**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.
** 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. Adoptions: Tina; Dingo; Eddie;Yascha; Moses; Slinky, and kittens and puppies..
