Rescue Waggin' - May is an a-MAY-zing month for Rescue Waggin'! 19 dogs have already caught their ride on the Waggin' and we have another Waggin' coming on Wednesday, May 30. Please think about fostering short term for Rescue Waggin' dogs. 3. Friends of the Animal Village's 2012 Happy Tails Adoption Drive Ends. Many thanks to the Friends of the Animal Village for their gift of $6800 which sponsored a successful adoption drive. Over 150 dogs, cats, puppies and kittens were adopted at half price in less than a month. This is the second year in a row for the drive which continues to increase awareness of the great wok being done at the Village.
4. Fosters - Can you open up your home to a dog or cat for a short period of time? If so, consider fostering one of our animals. Fostering helps our dogs and cats get used to being in a home environment and interacting with people, which makes them even more adoptable. If dogs are your thing, contact Sandy Moore at sxmoore@sbcglobal.net. More of a cat person? Let Debbie know at debbie.jonunderhill@comcast.net. 5. Kitty Krew - Are you a cat fan who can't make it out to the Animal Village to volunteer but you want to help? Contact Debbie Heller at debbie.jonunderhill@comcast.net and she will put you to work! As a reminder, if you sign up for the Kitty Krew you would work once a week at the Petsmart on Chenal Parkway. The time of day is flexible and duties will take from an hour to 3 hours depending on how many people come into the adoption center and want to see the cats and/or talk. Our responsibility is to maintain the cages and socialize the cats. Training is provided. The Kitty Krew does an amazing job taking care of the cats - be part of something great! 6. Birthday Parties - Do you have a birthday soon? Looking for a venue? Consider the Animal Village! If you are interested in booking the AnimalVillage for your next party, please contact Joan Adcock at djadcock@comcast.net. At LRAV, we strive to make good matches between people and animals and to place pets in lifelong homes. We provide adoption counseling and followup assistance, medical services, and behavior counseling. Or, we can refer you to providers of these services. In addition, LRAV has a full time veterinarian on staff to ensure that our animals are healthy! Walk-in volunteers are welcome. Come adopt your new best friend today!
