Happy Sunday! We are starting our second week of the "Back in Black" promotion for adopting black or mostly black dogs and cats. We have had a couple adopted already as a result of the campaign, and we have more advertising soon for the pets. The ads will help showcase our wonderful black dogs and cats and let people know what great pets are available for adoption here at the shelter.
Saturday was a pretty awesome day here at the shelter. We adopted three cats and three dogs, plus another puppy that is going home today. Jacqui Froelich from KUAF radio was here to do a report on the shelter and the "Back in Black" campaign, and it was really great to give her a tour and show off some of our dogs and cats. I'll let everyone know when the piece will air on the radio.
Speaking of Back in Black, let me introduce you to Zoe.
She is a beautiful tuxedo cat. She came to Good Shepherd in April of 2012 as a stray found at Lake Leatherwood. Zoe is an "old-timer" here at the shelter. She loves people and gets along great with her friends in the Lighthouse, but she would really love to have a forever "home for the holiday"! Do you have space for a mature, sensitive, and independent spirit in your home this year? Zoe might be the perfect match for you!!
Now I'd like to introduce you to Sasha. Do you need a loving kitty who's also a great mouser? Then you should meet Sasha.
Like Zoe, Sasha is a mature cat who knows how to be independent, but still loves a good rubbing or snuggling. She's got that attention to detail that makes for a good mouser--or a good entertainer (have YOU ever watched a cat try to catch a fly! It's hysterical.) Why don't you stop by and visit Sasha in the Lighthouse. You'll be glad you did.
Lastly, I'd like you to meet Kitana. What a beautiful kitty!
Kitana is a black tortie, so she has black and orange and kind of a creamy yellow color. She is an incredibly affectionate cat, too. She came to the shelter in May of 2012 when her owner moved and abandoned her. Poor thing! Kitana is no bother to anyone. She gets along great with other cats, and she loves people--kids and adults, just like Zoe and Sasha. All three are in our Lighthouse (the cat colony room). She's a smaller sized kitty, too, but she has loads of personality. She's waiting to say hello!
Don't forget, tomorrow is Veteran's Day. Good Shepherd staff and volunteers will be walking dogs in the Veteran's Day parade tomorrow. The parade is downtown and starts at 10 am. In fact, the father of one of the families who adopted a puppy from us yesterday is part of the Honor Guard carrying the American flag tomorrow for the American Legion. He's a hero to our country as well as a hero to our dogs! Give a cheer tomorrow, and say thanks for all our veterans do for us.
