Ethel and Lucy


Here are sisters Ethel and Lucy chilling out at the shelter. They had a great time in the park at the PAWS 50th anniversary festival last weekend.

Artist Shelley Lowell was there painting a picture of Lucy. You can see more of her work by clicking HERE.


Shelley has generously donated this lovely portrait. It will go home with the lucky person who adopts Lucy. I hope Ethel goes with them too!

Shelter Dog


Carin is a three year old Maltese Poodle mix. Although she only has three legs, Carin gets around quite nicely.
A volunteer who is a pet groomer gave up her Sunday morning to make sure this little dog has the best chance for adoption.
First she was trimmed and shaved.

Then she got a bath. This little dog is so good natured and patient!

Here is Carin after her makeover.
I’m thankful for the company of so many kind, hard working, caring people at the shelter each week!

A Day at the Park

It was a gorgeous day for Bark in the Park. There was music, and food, and lots of vendors, and dogs everywhere!
Many people who adopted dogs at PAWS brought them to the event for happy reunions with the shelter staff and volunteers.
Our new cat booth had lots of visitors.

Whew! I could have used a nap too.

Thank you to everyone who helped with my fundraising efforts!
