OUR ORPHAN
OF THE MONTH
Tang
As our Orphan of the Month for May, you can adopt this wonderful pet at 20% off of the regular $135 adoption donation for felines.
Hi! My name is Tang. I was found as a kitten with my brothers and sisters in an attic back in May of 2010. All of my brothers and sisters got adopted, but because I am shyer than they are, it has been hard for me to win over the heart of my forever family and so I have lived at the orphanage for the past 2 years. I like to play and frolic, but take a little bit of time to warm up to new people so I need a family with patience and a lot of love to give. Will you be that family?
Visit this orphan in person and complete your adoption application between now and May 31, 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 Tang or other wonderful animals available for adoption!

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!
