Dear Friends,

 

 

Not to worry though, because our fantastic staff has been rising to the occasion - and then some!  Not only have they been getting their work done, but they've also managed to bring over 40 new volunteers through basic training at the shelter.  And those volunteers have been busy too!

 

Thanks to our new volunteers, our dogs are enjoying stuffed Kong toys every day.  These yummy treats provide the dogs with a rewarding challenge, and help decrease barking and restlessness in the kennels. 

 

We've got something special for cats as well.  Just last week we installed a television in one of our communal cat rooms.  At intervals throughout the day, a "cat sitter" video comes on that some of the cats find absolutely mesmorizing.  And, for the cats that look like they spend a little too much time in front of the t.v., we're starting a fitness program.  Volunteers will use a variety of toys and techniques to get our hefty felines moving each day. 

 

We're keeping busy outside our four-walls as well.  Check out this Saturday's schedule!  You'll find us at Market-at-the-Square, Meadowbrook Park and Maurices clothing store.  More to come in August and September, too. 

 

I hope you'll come out to visit the shelter, or stop by one of our events when you're out and about.  It's always great to hear from our adopters and supporters.   

  

Very truly yours,
