Our mission advocates, champions of the feline and canine persuasion, invite you to please, Dine Out for Cory’s Cats and Melanie’s Mutts THIS Wednesday at the 42nd Street Cafe.  A portion of all sales will be donated to SPCHS.

But wait!  There’s more!

For just a buck, you can purchase a raffle ticket for a chance to win one of two GREAT prizes:

Cutler Management has arranged a TWO-NIGHT STAY, along with some food credit, at the beautiful Lake Oswego CROWNE PLAZA (valued at $225.).  Artist Carol Thompson provided an archival limited edition Giclée print of a calico tabby cat which has been exquisitely framed by Campiche Studios (valued at $110.).

Can’t Attend? Call a fried who can and tell them! Dinner starts at 4:30 pm.

Dennis Company has long been a supporter of SPCHS, even hosting our Pet Photos with Santa for the past several years.  Most recently, the Long Beach store provided puppy food for some of the dogs we took in from Harney County Save A Stray, who is working to save dogs from what seems to be the worst hoarding case in Oregon history.  Thanks, Dennis Company!

Again this year, Ocean Park Signs is holding its nightly Christmas Light Shows during December, with 100% of donations going directly to our Shelter.  Thanks, Bob & Mary!

These fleece coats are really yummy–super soft and warm, even in the usually-neglected chest area.  Click the photo above to see for yourself.  They also make scarves and blankets and… you’ve just got to go look.  I can hardly wait to try them on the dogs tomorrow at our Raffle Prize Drawing!  Stay tuned; we’ll post pics.

A BIG THANK YOU to BUB for this most generous donation!

Here’s how you can help stop the shivering: For every 20 fans that BUB logs on Facebook, a worthy rescue gets a donated coat. It’s that simple. Check them out!

Creating the connections for change in leadership, organizational development,
training, coaching, and the employee experience.

Sundog Solutions Consulting focuses on development and training for individuals and organizations when they get “stuck.” This can take many forms such as training, organizational development, coaching, and strategic alignment of our most valuable assets – people!
Sundog Solutions Consulting was created in 2006 in honor of the passing of the famous Minger Dawg. When helping an organization move through change I always remember what the Minger Dawg taught me.
• Patience – you may want it now; others may see it differently depending on their own values.
• Go slow to go fast – Ming was a chow/sheepdog and she may not have the speed of a greyhound, however she always reached her goal.
• Wag more and bark less –Look at things from what we can accomplish versus we have done wrong. This is a great catalyst for change.

Wow!  You guys rock!

Our fabulous Treasurer, Jane Holeman, received this wonderful news in response to her grant application to the Pedigree Foundation:

On behalf of The PEDIGREE Foundation, we would like to congratulate South Pacific County Humane Society on being approved for a grant. We cannot confirm the contribution amount that will be distributed at this time as we are still awaiting grant applications.

Monies are raised throughout the year and distributed to 501(c)(3) registered non-profits based on the number of approved organizations, how many dogs are impacted by your organization and the amount of money The PEDIGREE Foundation has raised.

As the deadline on September 30, 2009 approaches, we will begin to determine a contribution amount for South Pacific County Humane Society based on these criteria. We support what South Pacific County Humane Society is doing to help ‘dogs in need find loving homes’ and are honored to make a contribution to this cause.

We look forward to hearing from you throughout the year on the progress and update of your program. Please contact us through our website at www.pedigreefoundation.org.

Our best wishes for your continued good work in Helping Us Help Dogs.

Sincerely,

The PEDIGREE Foundation

Thanks, Pedigree Foundation, and Jane!

The Odd Fellows are a fraternal organization.  The Ilwaco Odd Fellows is a small part of a worldwide organization which is in 28 countries. The Ilwaco Odd Fellows support our Shelter with regular donations and yearly dues.  Ilwaco Odd Fellows help our community through donations to local charities and organizations such as SPCHS.

Pacific County Master Builders President Glenn Trusty presents a check to Keith Schwartz for the South Pacific County Humane Society. Money for the donation was raised through the Pacific County Master Builders’ annual surplus sale. Each year the group votes to determine which non-profit organization will benefit from the surplus sale’s earnings. This year’s sale raised about $2,600 for the no-kill shelter.

SPCHS wants to give a BIG shout out to Glenn & Hillary Trusty, and to all the Pacific County Master Builders, for the check presented to us last week, the result of their choosing us as a beneficiary of their annual surplus sale.  Thanks, Master Builders!!

Read on; the group will be holding a Home and Garden Show at the Elks next weekend (July 24-25-26, 2009).  We’ll be there and hope to see you!

And don’t miss your chance to win some door prizes!

South Pacific County Master Builders meet the second Thursday of each month from September through July. The group hosts a guest speaker at each meeting to discuss various issues, including representatives from and information regarding the county, community development, green building, energy efficiency, Pacific County Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Labor and Industries. Members are also given the opportunity to take classes to further their education.

“Olympia Master Builders sets the pace for the future, for the community,” explains Trusty, whose wife, Hillary, is the home show chair.

Sponsored by Penguin Windows, KAST 1370 AM radio, KCRX 102.3 FM radio and the Chinook Observer, the Pacific County Master Builders Home and Garden Show will be held at the Elks Lodge, 110 North Pacific Way in Long Beach.

Pioneer Market

Gas Station and convenience store located in north Long Beach has been a favorite of Rod Runners and locals for years.  Stop in and see that Pioneer is much more than your average convenience store!

My family has been in the convenience store business since 1981 when my father, Art bought Uncle Bob’s Cannery and turned it into Art’s Market. It was a wonderful business and home but in spring of 1995 my parents decided that it was falling apart and we needed to make some changes. So we demolished our business and home and a few months later in July of 1995 Pioneer Market featuring Chevron fuel was open for business. We strive to be a clean, friendly place where customers can feel welcome and appreciated.

Pioneer Market supports the shelter through paying for a membership and donating money. We also put fliers up in our community board when given to us and, whenever possible we display SPCHS events on our big reader board. One of our family members/employees has donated bags and bags of pet food. I have donated money, food, and garage sale items in previous years and also always attend the sales when I can.
