Dear
Friends,
A big
thank you goes to those that made our auction a success. We are still
tallying, but it looks like we cleared $2500 - $2700 after expenses. We
were hurt a little by the election night caucuses, but who would have
ever thought that the Texas Primary vote would be such a big deal?!
Some of our foster parents are in need of some “heavy duty” chew
toys for their younger pups. They may look full grown, but still need
something sturdy to chew on. We are also running low on big dog bedding
and blankets. Please drop off donations at the Temple Animal Shelter.
Thanks so much!
Trent is back at the shelter, returned because he wasn’t active
enough! He is such a sweet young man, and would make a great pet for a
laid back family.

Here are some helpful tips about animals:
|
Spaying and
neutering of dogs and cats:
prevents the needless killing of homeless puppies and
kittens. |
Spaying Females: eliminates annoying heat
cycles, uterine and ovarian cancer.
Neutering males: reduces roaming, marking
territory and reduces chances of prostate cancer.

Dogs &
Pickup Trucks
Although, dogs
love to feel the wind rushing by their faces and
thrill at the chance to ride in the back of a truck,
it is very dangerous and often will result in death of
your animal. A recent killing involved a dog in the
back of a pickup with no gate on the back. The
truck was driving down the interstate at 65mph, made a
lane change and the dog fell out. If the fall
alone doesn't kill the dog, the on coming traffic
will. Dogs don't have the ability to hang on the
way a human would. What's worse are those who
leash there dog in the back of the pickup, or (can you
believe this) to the top of the pickup. While
this may seem safer, if the dog fell out, he hangs
himself on the leash fighting for his dear life while
you breeze down the highway.
IT'S NOT SAFE, SO DON'T DO
IT.

Mistletoe
Cats Are Safer and Happier Indoors
Cats may love
to go outside, but to save their lives, keep them
inside. Although, cats are smart, alert and
adroit, they are no match for the many perils that
await them outside. Consider these threats: hit
by a car, injury, poison, attached by another animal,
diseases, traps, parasites, and cruel people.
Cats can be completely happy inside if you provide
them with toys, good care and lost of love and
attention.
