"I can't think

of anything

that brings me closer to tears than when

my old dog -- completely exhausted

after a hard

day in

the field

-- limps away

from her

nice spot

in front

of the fire

and comes

over to where

I'm sitting and

puts her head

in my lap,

a paw over

my knee,

and closes

her eyes

and goes

back to sleep.

I don't know

what I've done

to deserve

that kind

of friend."


~ Gene Hill

CITY OF CROWLEY ANIMAL SHELTER (LA)

 

This month we have a very special appeal for Pet Beds from Anna S - volunteer at the City of Crowley Animal Shelter  ... 

 

 

Anna wrote: "My city shelter has NO beds and the dogs lie on wet cement.  Some dogs are there for MONTHS in these conditions.  ICity of Crowley LA was there on 11/1 when the temperatures were in the 50's and the worker was spraying the dog area with water and bleach, the dogs were getting soaked and then had to lay on the cold wet cement floors.  It broke my heart".

Anna tells us this shelter has 18 dog kennels - Margaret K of Sharpsburg, GA has already generously donated 6 Pet Beds - so we need just 12 more ...
 
 
Could you donate one
(just $15.00) for them, please?
