News from the Humane Society

Hey Everyone!

I went out to the Humane Society today to deliver the treats you were so awesome to donate.  While I was there, Clay Morgan shared some exciting news with me.  Tomorrow, Saturday, May 1, 2010, the Humane Society will be having an adoption event at Petco in Rogers from about 10:30am-4:30pm.  During this time, the US Postal Service will also be unveiling and selling their new Animal Rescue: Adopt A Shelter Pet stamps.  The post office is selling these stamps as a way to raise public awareness of the need to adopt animals from shelters.  When you buy the stamps you will also be helping purchase quality meals for a million shelter animals, because Halo Pet Foods is donating food for each stamp purchase.  Read more about the campaign and  the animals featured on the stamps.

Clay also said that he has had several adoptions over the past couple weeks!  That's fantastic news.  The adoptions include a pair of kittens who were very wild and found a home with a family who raises horses and will give the kitties a home in their heated barn.

 These are the wild kitties two weeks ago.  They were NOT happy to have their picture taken!

Plus Swirl, who you met at the Bunny Hop found a home in Joplin!

And, there is another huge adoption pending, but Clay said he didn't want to formally announce it, because he was afraid to jinx it.  So, if it goes through, I will announce it here in a couple weeks!

There are still lots of sweet adorable animals in need of homes though.  There are some puppies who are probably Min Pin mixes and some really cute Schnauzer pups as well.  And there's even a dog who looks like my Hannah!

I wish I could take them all home.  If you happen to have room at your house, I suggest you visit the Humane Society.  They're at  407 E. Nursery Rd in Rogers (just past the corner of 1st and Nursery in Rogers) You can call them at (479) 636-3703.  They're open from 10:30-4:00 on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and 10:30-3:00 on Saturdays.

If you don't have room in your home, but would like to donate, you can send monetary donations to:

Humane Society for Animals

P.O. Box 476 

                                                               Rogers, AR 72757-0476

The shelter relies completely on donations, they are not funded by tax dollars.  They are also in need of cleaning products such as laundry soap and Pine-Sol.  You can take donations to the Humane Society of bring them to Bigwag.  (We will also be holding our annual Puppy Shower at the end of the month, if you'd like to donate then.)
