Next Sunday 1-5--more shelter renovation work. Help is welcome! And---if anyone knows how to install sun filters on windows--we need someone to do it in our new cat room. We have the filters, just don''t have the expertise to install them correctly.This Friday, 2/9, we are doing a program at Acxiom, downtown. If you could possibly transport a few kittens/cats and their supplies in time to have them there by 11, or pick them up and return them to the shelter at 2, let me know. (You don't have to stay). Christine and Jack and Gene are going, and others are welcome. If interested let me know.
We have a very sweet, pregnant dog at the shelter, who would love a foster home, so she can continue her pregnancy and have her pups in peace and quiet. We will provide all supplies, and take her and her puppies back when they are ready. She is on our website as "Sadie", and if you can help, let me know. She is a sweet, friendly, gentle dog. No issues, just pregnant!
