As you all know...October is Adopt a Shelter Dog month. (Don't worry...I'm not jealous...June is Adopt a Shelter Cat month). And we've been doing lots of fun things here at the shelter this month.
We had the Rubber Duck Derby which helped raise over $1500 for the shelter. We're also having a coloring contest, a raffle for a HUGE dog bed filled with tons of stuff, an essay contest in the elementary schools, a Dogtoberfest festival at the Bucket Club at the end of the month...AND...we have special trick or treat boxes so that kids can help raise money for the orphans at both our shelter and the Fredericton SPCA. It makes me tired just thinking about it!!
You'd think that we would have our hands full with all of that stuff...but we also have a wonderful calender coming out VERY soon called Heroes for the Homeless. Every month is a different hero (firefighter, policeman, soldier, or paramedic) posing with a cat or dog. And they're all very cute! And I don''t just mean the animals!
We're also working on some special things for National Animal Shelter Appeciation Week which is November 7th to 13th.
AND to top it all off....our Pet Photos with Santa will be at Scott's Nursery on November 27th from 10am to 3pm and at Pawsative Rewards on December 4th from 10am to 3pm.
So much to do....so little time. Maybe...if you have some time to give to help out with any of these upcoming events...you could call us at the shelter. 446-4107 Just ask for Tracy...she's my assistant. I'm sure I can find you something to do to help us out!
