NEW HOMES FOUND AT ANIMAL COMPASSION NETWORK'S
SPRING ADOPTATHON

Despite some wet moments and the breakdown of the Shelter's van, the Adoptathon event went very well and some 10 animals are now in their hopefully forever homes.

Friends' two little guys-Sparkplug and Lil' Dale were spoken for before noon. Homevisits have been completed and the fellows couldn't do better. I had also adopted out Bro' earlier in the week to a wonderful family in West Asheville. Please be thinking of Red - he is doing well and needs a really good home.

Angela and friends adopted out 5 dogs and 3 cats on Saturday. The schipperke that I would have taken in to our program was adopted by a woman in Asheville who had been pre-cleared by the Schipperke Rescue Organization. It's always good to know that the shelter dogs and cats have a chance now to go to good homes.

Thanks to Barbara ("Mama") Merrill for taking in Sparkplug and Lil' Dale after their surgeries this week and bringing them to the event and helping with their adoptions, thanks to Blaine for helping Red learn to tolerate walking on a leash, and thanks to Sandy, Camille, Mason, and Virginia for assisting with the event.

We'll be back at Pet Pantry in June so I'll be in touch with the date. In the meantime, remember that Friends will have a table at the downtown office for the Madison County Arts Festival on May 16th. If you want to help by baking dog biscuits that will be sold to benefit our Vet Assistance Fund (emergency funds to assist with vet expenses), please let me know.

A message from Angela Davis, Madison County Animal Shelter

Hi everyone! We're full to capacity and some of these great small dogs are in danger. No time for pictures at the moment. The Schippeke is FB, Norweigan Elkhound is FB, Terrier looks like a black and white Westie mix (wire hair with soft undercoat) and the Chihuahua mixes are less than 10 pounds (puppy mill closed down, have 7, ages: 2 @ 5 weeks, 3 months, 2 @ 1-1.5 years, 5 years, & 7 years), white with brown spots. Also have a 2 year old Jenny Mule (looks like a Morgan horse with big ears) just up for adoption!

No time for pics at the moment. Email with questions.

Thanks!

"Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to." ~ Alfred A. Montapert

PLEASE DO THIS 'FREE' GOOD DEED

The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (how about 20 seconds?) to go to their site and click on the purple box 'fund food for animals' for free. This doesn't cost you a thing. Visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising. Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

MARY PAWS NEEDS VINYL FLOORING

Can you help? Mary Floyd needs vinyl flooring for two 16 x 20 cat rooms at her cat rescue no-kill shelter, so that the floors can be easily & properly cleaned, and would pass an inspection in the event that happens.  If you can help (special connection with a flooring source, donation toward cost, etc.)  Mary does have someone who will donate the installation.  Please contact Mary Floyd at 622-3248, or PO Box 941, Leicester NC 28748.
