Straydog UPDATE posted SATURDAY 5/10/03 at ~10:00 p.m. CT
Pat's Daily Dog Log
SATURDAY MAY 10 2003
Some students from Highland Park High School raised $573 + a big bag of change (that we haven't had time to count yet) for Straydog, and they brought the money to us and helped us out dog-sitting at Saturday Adoption Day!
We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all the students who worked so hard on their fund raising projects on behalf of Straydog, our Happy Home for Strays. We know there were many students who participated in these efforts to help our shelter, and I wish I knew all of your names so I could thank you personally. We appreciate your help very much, and we want you to know that the money you raised will go toward our never-ending and ever-increasing vet bill.
A special thanks to Clayton Dallas and Sam Bennette. They were two of the fund raisers, and these two young men offered their dog-sitting expertise during our adoption day today too. "They are both naturals with the dogs," Guy said, who is one of our adoption day group team leaders (and van driver). "Clayton and Sam were a huge help!" Many other students wanted to volunteer their dog-sitting services too, and we'd love your help on other Saturdays. Just give us a call when you're available.
We also want to thank two other students (Kiersten Obenchain and J.D. Dunckin) for donating two big bags of dog food to Straydog
Thank You Highland Park High School Students!
Roxanne, Courtney and Becky
No dogs or pups adopted today
Many people looked at the puppies and dogs today, and several nice folks went home to "think" about one of the special puppies or dogs they saw today, saying that they might be in touch with us during the week. We're glad people want to discuss the adoption of a pet with other family members. Bringing any pet into the family should be looked upon as a lifelong commitment and should be very carefully thought out.
