Pet Watch from the director- 1/2/11

The Christmas holidays have given the Humane Society a lot to be thankful for this year. We wish to thank everyone who stopped by the shelter, took an angel from our tree, and brought back wonderful donations. Without the help of the community, we would not be able to keep the homeless animals of Stillwater happy and healthy until they find their forever homes. In particular, we would especially like to thank the Montessori Preschool for all the cleaning supplies, dog/cat treats and collars and the Phi Mu Sorority for the cases of cat food and treats. We also are grateful for the many families who dropped off donations of all kinds and the many wonderful foster families that opened their hearts and homes to seven dogs and 2 cats so that they were able to spend the Holidays with loving families. To those of you who stopped in during your break to give lots of love and attention to the animals that remained at the shelter, we also thank you. We all know that this is a very busy time of year so taking the time to stop in at the Humane Society is very much appreciated.

We currently have some wonderful cats and dogs that are ready to start the New Year off in a new home so stop by the shelter and meet them. Flower is a Border Collie/Labrador mix. She was only five months old when she came to us, but she has been at the shelter for almost three months. She is growing up to be a wonderful dog. It would be even better if she was growing up with a family. Flower has a lot of energy and though she is smaller than our adult dogs, she loves to play rough with the older dogs.

Tula is a beautiful Tortoiseshell cat with gorgeous eyes. She is about two and half years old and she is very friendly. She likes other cats and is cautious around dogs. She loves to lie in your lap and is very gentle.
