Director
Even with the downpour on Saturday our
three-day Adopt-a-Thon was an unequivocal success! FORTY, yes, FORTY of our
great animals found their new homes last Fri, Sat & Sun! This is simply
incredible and we couldn’t be happier. We also couldn’t have done this without
the support of both the Prattville and Montgomery PETsMARTs and a host of fellow
animal loving helpers. There are now forty very lucky pets enjoying their new
lives thanks to staff members Ellen, Shelia, Claudia, Melissa and Jenefier;
board members Charline, Lucia and Angie; and volunteers LeVonne Taylor; Tammy
Turner; Jeanne Shamburger; Patricia Campbell; Lindsey Terry; Dee Griffin; Angie
& Sheron Milton; Faith Cooper; Jasmine Johnson; Janet Baker; Paula Cardwell;
Marsha, & Emely Von Almen; Patty Kaleta; Ken, Kristina, Shannon & John Sullivan;
Amy Hall; Christina Russell; Wanda Sternberg; Connie & Conner Morrow; David &
Alisha Seal; Wanda Sternberg; Christina Russell & Hubby; and Dawn Knight. Whew!
And we are sure that every one of these volunteers would tell you it was well
worth their time to help a deserving pet find its new home so our hats off to
each of them for what we think was time well spent.
Last week we noted that the Montgomery Kennel Club had raised
money to purchase Animal Resuscitative Masks for tri-county Fire Departments.
These reusable mask sets will be placed on Fire Trucks to help save animals/pets
involved in a fire. What we didn’t know then and want to share is that pets in
the Millbrook area already had someone looking out for them as three sets of
these masks were donated for the Millbrook fire trucks by Gerry & Lisa Martin in
June of 2007. Thank you Gerry and Lisa for doing your part to help Millbrook
pets in need! To learn more about these masks go to
www.helpanimalsinc.org .
Looking a bit ahead - on Saturday, 17 May we will have a
“Kitten Shower” at our shelter from 10 am – 2 pm. This is the brainchild of a
great Girl Scout Troop since it is now kitten season with lots of kittens coming
in and we have an increased need of supplies geared towards caring for all of
these cats and kittens. The girls will also have refreshments for our visitors
and we think it is just a great thing for them to do this for our kitties!
To help you purchase supplies for our “Kitten Shower” and
other supplies that help us care for all of the animals that come through our
doors we will have a Supply Drive at the Millbrook Wal-Mart on Saturday, 10 May,
from 10 am – 2 pm. We will have the items we need most marked inside the store
and our volunteers will be out front to receive these supplies and give you a
tax donation sheet for your records. We appreciate the Millbrook Wal-Mart for
supporting our work to help animals in need and hope for a large pre-Mother’s
Day shopping crowd. And a Happy Mother’s Day to all the great mom’s out there!
