OUR ORPHAN
OF THE MONTH
Snuggles
As our Orphan of the Month for April, you can adopt this wonderful pet at 20% off of the regular $165 adoption donation for canines.
Hi! My name is Snuggles. I am a 3 year old yellow lab mix who was rescued from the streets with several deep wounds, possibly from a dog fight. I have a sweet temperament and love other dogs, am friendly with cats, adore children, and just want a family to love. I already know several commands, including sit, stay, up-up, and lie down. My caregivers think I might be potty trained, too! Come see me and find out just how wonderfully sweet I am!
Visit this orphan in person and complete your adoption application between now and April 30, 2012 to be able to take advantage of this great offer!
Visit us on-line or call 214-349-ELPO(3576) for more information on Snuggles or other wonderful animals available for adoption!

In Memoriam
April 2012
David Shafer
David Shafer was a longstanding volunteer for the East Lake Pet Orphanage and ELPO Council Member. David was a fixture at every ELPO event as a DJ, used his creative skills to construct several event displays for the orphanage, drove the Pet Pac to all offsite outdoor events, and so much more. You could always depend on him to help with anything that needed to be done. He was always there.
We lost him on Sunday, March 25, 2012 to cancer, and he will be truly missed. He was a selfless, kind hearted and gentle soul who touched everyone that was fortunate enough to have known him.

As a community shelter, we rely solely on private donations from people like you to provide life saving health care and preventative treatment for whatever time is needed until adoptive homes can be found. When you donate to East Lake Pet Orphanage, you prevent euthanasia and give a second chance to a pet in need.
The easiest way to make a donation is to go to our website at www.elpo.org or www.helppets.net. On the left-hand side of the page there is a button shaped like a bone that says donate. Click it, and you are taken to the page where you can use PayPal to send a secure payment.
You can also mail in a gift to:
East Lake Pet Orphanage
10101 E. Northwest Hwy
Dallas, TX 75238
Whether you can spare $5 or $100, your tax deductible contribution will make a difference!
