What's happening at the Animal Welfare League

NOVEMBER MEMBER MEETING

 

AWL will meet on Thursday, November 15 at 2 p.m. in Room 6 at the Coronado Center.  Democrat-Gazette columnist, Rhonda Owen, will be speaking about her popular weekly column, "Creature Feature".  In addition to training tips, she will be offering advice on managing pet owners expectations vs. reality when bringing a "do over dog" or cat into the household.  Her presentation should be especially valuable for shelter volunteers when showing pets to potential adopters.

 

 

AWL IS ON FACEBOOK!

We have a Facebook page....and it's filled with photos and stories about our adoptable pets, fundraisers and activities.  Sarah Yerkes has created this great new way for us to advertise our cats and dog to the Facebook- users world and increase their second chances for new homes.  Take a tour at www.facebook.com/hsvawl and read the posts we're getting.  Then "Like" us so you get updated postings.

                                                                     

DIAMANTE DOG SHOW

 

Diamante residents brought their furry friends to the Diamante C C. on October 19 for a first ever dog show for Diamante pets. Forty plus dogs competed for honors in a variety of categories.  Some of our shelter cats and dogs were invited to attend too!  The show raised $750 and all if it was donated to AWL.  Thank you Diamante friends for your generous support!

 

PEDIGREE & PETFINDER GRANT

 

The Pedigree Foundation and the Petfinder Foundation have awarded a $1,000 grant to AWL.  The grant money will be used to fund our shelter dog adoptions and give many, many of our deserving animals a new chance for a forever home and a family to love.

THANK YOU PEDIGREE & PETFINDER FOR HELPING TO MAKE MORE ADOPTIONS HAPPEN !
