Hello Everyone:
I know that it has been a while since I have updated everyone. I am sorry about that. As you can see, we have been quite busy and have been quite successful in finding all but two of our dogs and puppies new homes in the past month. Everyone has found wonderful new forever families and you can even see some of them on our Pawfect Endings page.
I see that Lorie, the wonderful woman who created and maintains our site has added a couple of things here since I have been on last. I would also like to send a "shout out" to Elliot and Virgina for posting such wonderful comments. I am glad to see that everyone is starting to join in. Looks like I am going to have to check in a bit more often than once a month :-).
Now for our updates:
If you recall, I mentioned about a wonderful little one year old pit that was starved near death. She is still with us though still not out of the woods yet. Weighing in at only 20lbs or so still, this little girl should be between 50-60lbs currently. The wonderful girl who has taken her into her home and her heart has been working night and day taking care of her. She has taken on full responsibility for all medical treatment and is currently at over $12,000 in vet bills. As you can see on our events page, there will be a BBQ & Bottle Drive Fundraiser on Sunday May 24th at the Pattersonville Fire Department from 12 noon to 4:00 pm. There will be activities as well such as face painting for the children, games, a raffle and a bake sale (yummy!!). All monies raised will go direct toward this little girls care. Donations are also being accepted via pay pal located on our site if you are unable to make it for this fun filled afternoon for a good cause. Please spread the word!!
As you can see, we do not have that many dogs and puppies looking for homes at this time, however we are receiving many calls and there will be more soon. We have also just taken in a litter of 3 week old baby kittens. They are in a wonderful foster home getting all the love and care that they need. Of course we are accepting applications for when they are old enough to go to their new forever homes. The funny thing about these siblings is that four of the five don't have tails!! They are bob tails and one looks as if it is so short that it doesn't even have a tail! They are just TOO CUTE! We also still have all of our wonderful adult cats that are patiently waiting for someone to want to love them forever. I do have some wonderful news though. Our special little Ursula has found her new forever home. I have to say that after 2 1/2 years with us we miss her terrible. But it is good to know that she will now be the spoiled little girl that she wants to be. Barney misses her most of all as they were bud's hanging out for the last couple of years together. Don't worry Barney, it will be your turn soon enough.
Then there is our sweet little Marilyn. This little girl has been with us for just over a year now. She is the sweetest thing you will ever meet and SO SO lovable not to mention one of the prettiest cats you will see with her green eyes. She has only one request though............ no other pets please. She feels that she should have all humans to herself. And Elizabeth. This poor one year old (nearly two now) was trapped along with six others. The kittens of course have all found their new homes right away and K.K. was released into a wonderful small colonie of wild/feral cats and immediately found a best friend. They are quiet a spoiled bunch of feral cats for sure with beds to sleep in, scratching posts, food/water available at all times and even toys. But Elizabeth doesn't fall into this category. She is not feral, but she definitely knows what she wants when she wants it and would rather let you know than you come to her. She would do fine as an indoor cat but (and please don't hold this against me) but would also love to be an indoor/outdoor cat as she is kind of a "loaner" and can not tolerate dogs at all. I guess she just feels as if there isn't a use for them.
Then we have our special adult siblings Ranger and Cherry Bell. These two BEAUTIFUL cats are only 8 yrs old and two of the nicest cats you will meet. Cherry is very friendly greeting customers and loving the petting and Ranger.........well he's the quiet one. Very sweet and loving as well but would rather cuddle up with his sister. We are going to hold out for a forever home for them together because they have never known other animals but each other.
Now that I have updated you all on who is still looking for their forever homes, please spread the word and check them out on our site.
Moving on.............. I will now once again mention the need for foster homes. Though it seems as if we are not in need at this time, that is not the case at all. The reason that we do not have any dogs/puppies in our care currently is because we are giving all of our current foster homes a "break" for a couple of weeks. They deserve it as they poor their hearts and soles into the animals in their care. They are a wonderful and very special group of people and I can not say enough about them.
As for other needs, we are currently accepting clumping cat litter for the cats/kittens in our care. You can also donate via pay pal on our Everyday Needs page. Please also consider sponsoring Smokey our senior chow mix that came to us not long ago. He is a wonderful, loving and very special guy who's foster family is in love with.
I guess that is all for now. Please feel free to continue sharing with us. I promise that I will watch this site a little more often now. Have a great weekend everyone!!
