National Shelter Challenge
Meet the newest member of our
Truman Fund animals. This is
Tug who came into the Shelter just before Christmas. He was brought
in by someone who had received him from a homeless man but he
couldn't continue to care for him either. As big as Tug is at
120 lbs he's very underweight, about 40 lbs underweight! Tug
is a Mastiff mix and Mastiffs typically weigh around 160 lbs
so he's got a long way to go. As if this poor boy hasn't suffered
enough, testing revealed that he also has a bad case of heartworm.
This treatment alone costs over $1000. Tug is a big, playful
dog who needs your help to get him ready for adoption.

I RESCUED A HUMAN
TODAY...
Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively
into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to
help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't
be afraid.
As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little
accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know
that I hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers
get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.
As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad
about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and
want to make a difference in someone's life.
She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me.
I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars
to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate
for companionship.
A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her
that all would be well. Soon my kennel door opened and her smile
was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms. I would
promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her
side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant
smile and sparkle in her eyes. I was so fortunate that she came
down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked
the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save
one. Yes, I could save one.
I rescued a human
today.

FOSTER PARENTS NEEDED!
If you have love to share and
a heart for animals, volunteers are needed to provide shelter
as a temporary foster home. As kittens and puppies come into
the shelter, they need to be placed with a foster family where
they can experience loving care and trust with humans until they
are old enough to be spayed/neutered and adopted. This may be
a single kitten or puppy, litters or moms with their babies.
We also have adults who may have
an injury or traumatic experience and just need some convalescing
time with a gentle soul and quiet environment.
The fulfillment found in fostering
is tremendous. By offering a foster home, you are saving two
lives: the one you are providing a temporary home for and the
one who will take their place in the shelter.
And if sewing is your gift, the
cats greatly appreciate fleece and sherpa material sewn into
18" x 24" blankets.
You are invaluable to the animals
and we appreciate any help you can give us in saving lives!

you for bringing me to Timmy's house -- AMEN!"
