Hi, thanks for reading our first blog post. I needed to find a way to keep you all up to date on whats going on here. First, if you have not filled out your volunteer profile online, please do so here: https://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/ap?AP=830438282 We have a new one that is for fosters that will be up soon, but for now please fosters should use the same form as other volunteers.

 As some of you may know, Cathy has her hands full with C4H. As such, Cathy is no longer running the volunteer program and we are looking for a volunteer to take it over. If you are interested in helping facilitate our volunteer program, please let us know!

So here is what is going on here today: We have applications on all of our kittens. The two black ones have upper respiratory infections, but they are on the mend, and will go home as soon as they are well. The white kittens are just finishing being treated for skin issues, and can also leave soon. 3 new kittens will be going into foster homes today, but we would love to get 4 more kittens into foster. Foster time is 2-3 weeks max, and we can give you cat food, litter box, and toys. All you need to provide is the litter.

In less happy news, our adult cats in the big kitty room may have been exposed to a harsh upper respiratory infection. We have been watching them closely. So far, they are all acting very healthy. We have one more week to watch them for any signs of the infection, and we are eager to give them the all clear. So far so good!

We have taken in a few new dogs recently, and some need fostering. Do you want to give a dog a temporary home? Falcor- a young wolf hound mix, Heart worm positive and needs crate rest. He can get a little nervous at the shelter and will need a home that can help teach him basic dog skills. Heidi- has been with us for a long time but shows so badly in a cage. Right now, she is sitting in the office, and has not made a peep. She is sweet as pie and just naps. Her tail looks like a helicopter every time the staff talks to her or scratches her ears. She could use a shelter break! http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/23948411
