PAWS IN THE PARK...
DOG WALK-A-THON
Prairie Paws Rescue wants to
thank everyone who came to our Dog Walk-A-Thon on
Sunday. You are simply GRRRRReat!! |
|
Thanks to so many participants,
our first Paws in the Park Dog Walk-A-Thon was a
great success! Dogs from all over the
county arrived with their best friends in tow...
men, women, children, babies... all happy to have a
chance to meet other dogs and dog-lovers.
Vibrant dog-talk flowed continuously... stories
about special dog-friends, facts about health care,
good grooming tips, effective doggy diets (and human
diets, too!), characteristics of a good vet,
traveling tips... People-education took place on a
grand scale while their furry friends looked on and
enjoyed the show and the wonderful companionship of
like-souls. It was a SPECTACULAR day!
Thanks again to everyone who
participated, and... look forward to another Paws in
the Park Dog Walk-A-Thon next year!

Foster Homes Needed |
|
As many of you know, Prairie Paws
Rescue has no facilities for housing pets. We depend
upon foster homes to take in pets until permanent homes are
found. Fostering an animal can be as short as overnight or
as long as several months. All rescued pets are
checked by a veterinarian and vaccinated before they are released into
foster homes. If you are interested in becoming a
foster caretaker to a pet, please contact us.
Some Basic
Requirements: Foster homes must have a city
permit and cannot take in more than two foster pets at one
time. All personal pets in the home that are more than
three months old must be licensed and vaccinated, and the
homeowner must have a good reputation for caring for
animals. |
