PET REPORT

New “magnificent mutts” arriving soon!

The past few weeks, we have been working with an Oregon pet rescue organization called OFSA (Oregon Friends of Shelter Animals) to save some very adoptable dogs from a shelter in California that has, quite frankly, a deplorable euthanasia record.
These dogs have been wonderful mutts of all sizes and descriptions- Chihuahua mixes, terrier mixes, and larger breeds like labs and spaniels. The dogs were transported to our shelter and other shelters by a group of caring volunteers.
When our rescued dogs arrived at our shelter, they were evaluated for any needed veterinary care and spayed or neutered. When they were good to go, “go” they did- it didn’t take long for adopters to fall in love with these charming mutts and give them good homes.
This week, we are getting another group of these rescue dogs, and they should be available for adoption by Thursday, according to our Manager Diana Galbreath. So, if you are interested in helping to rescue a sweet mutt and in having a new best friend for your household, come to the shelter this week and take a look!

Are you missing “the odd couple”?

More than a week ago, we received a pair of stray dogs that had been brought to the local vet’s office. They are very bonded to each other, and more than likely came from the same home. Both are males- one appears to be a French bulldog, and the blond one is a very nice terrier mix.
We are still hoping their owner will find out that they are at the shelter and come for them.  But, if time continues to pass and no one steps up to claim them, they will be placed for adoption.

Shelter Wish List

We are running low on some much-needed supplies and would be very grateful to receive: dog kibble (Pedigree or Kirkland’s seems to agree the most with our pooches), traditional clay cat litter, like Johnny or Tidy Cat, and kitten chow. Kitten season is just around the corner- in fact, we have already had our first kitten family at the shelter. We have found that Purina Kitten Chow, the kind in the yellow bag, seems to make the tiny felines thrive.
We are very appreciative of the generosity of our loyal supporters who faithfully bring donations to help make the lives of the shelter animals so much better. Thank you!
