Please help us help this sweet dog UPDATE!

Donations needed to help this girl! This is a very sweet dog coming up on transport this Saturday. She is a mixed Golden Retriever, who as you can see is a very happy dog! Good with kids, good with other dogs and only about 1 1/2 years old. She did have a rescue that was going to take her Until they found out she was HW+. She was scheduled for euthanasia this Saturday, but we couldn't see that happen to such a sweet dog so we stepped in to rescue her and have her treated. If you would like to help us help her, any donation of any size would be greatly appreciated. To make a donation you can go to our PayPal account. If you make your donation as a gift no fees will be taken out by PayPal.

UPDATE:  We want to thank everyone who made contributions to help pay for Allison's heartworm treatment.  She has undergone her treatment and is going to her forvere home.  Thank you one and all and good luck Allison!

Bow Wow Bingo sold out on line and at the shelter

Dont Just think about it, do it! Adopt!

Please stop at your ATM if you are coing to adopt

We are having major probelms with our credit card machine after the storm the other day.  They sent out a new machine but it does not work.  Long story short, until we can get the situation straightened out, we cannot take credit or debit cards.  We do accept cash and we will accept a check with adequate identification, or stop at your ATM before coming out to adopt.  There are several ATM's close by the shelter if you need one.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Thank you Microsoft Team

 

Thank you goes out to the wonderful Microsoft Team for their generosity and labor.    On such a cold rainy day they came out and planted the front garden at the shelter.  They came bearing flowers, bushes, birdfeeders, solar lights, wind chimes, planters, and garden ornaments to spruce up the front.  They spent several hours making a delightful garden out front for all to enjoy and make the shelter look more attractive and inviting.  It wasn't any small task as they moved and cleaned off flagstone, prepared the ground and planted numerous ornamentals.  A big than you goes out to each of you for all the time and effort you put in.  You guys rock!

Roxy and her pups need help

 Roxy and her pups need help!  We just found out today that Roxy is HW +.  She came in on transport Saturday along with her 6 puppies.  You can see in the picture of Roxy and her puppies, they were living in pathetic conditions.  As a matter of fact the pups were so starved as was Roxy that we found sticks and straw in their stools.  The pups were also filled with parasites, that in their weakened state claimed the lives of 3 of the pups.  The remaining 3 pups are on IV's and everything possible is being done to save them, but it is still touch and go.  Any donations to help with their medical expense and Roxy's heartworm treatment would be greatly appreciated.

We want to thank Catherine Herman, Sally Wagner, Rhonda Humphrey, Jason Grunnmun, Kimberly Lovati, Jean Helt, Sue Kwatt, David and Cassie Warner,  Dawn Aguilar, Rosemary Webster, Judith Tierney, Luanne and Mark Gawron and Raquel and Randy Melendez for donations to help with their care.

UPDATE:  Roxy's pups are much better now.  Pictured below is the Hernadez Family with Roxy.  Cassie in the powder blue raised money from her birthday in order to help Roxy.  It appears that Roxy is giving Cassie a kiss, her way of saying thank you for helping me and my puppies!


UPDATE:  Roxys' pups finally well enough and all thre have gone to their forever homes!  WOO HOO!

Roxy has begun her treatment for HW

There is a transport coming in on 1/25  and here are just a few of the animals that will be on board and looking for their forever home

Becasue of the weather and some vehicle problems the transport is running lste.  ETA was 2:00 but we think it will be a hour or so later.  We still have many dogs, cats and puppies at TLC already there awaiting adoption so don't let the delayed transport keep you from stopping by.
