February proved to be yet another busy month for us at PARL.  We experienced a steady stream of animals coming through our front doors. This isn't anything out of the ordinary for a shelter that doesn't turn animals away. However, we did notice that adoptions were a bit lower than normal. The shelter was packed with great animals looking for a second chance. So, where were the adopters?  Maybe it was the bad weather that was forcing people into hibernation and keeping them from visiting.  We decided to turn to our community for help. Thanks to our friends in the media people got the message. The call for help was answered. The shelter was packed with visitors and adoptions skyrocketed.  Thank you for the show of compassion and support. Together we can make a difference in improving the lives of companion animals. What are some of the ways that you can help?

· Become a foster home. PARL's foster program is looking for some new recruits. There are several opportunities in March to learn more about this vital program.

· Eat at Chelo's! Enjoy a good meal and support PARL all at once. Be sure to follow the link and print your Chelo's Charity Night coupon.
