Hi I am Breeze
Help me!
I'm timid and shy, but I'm SO sweet! Somebody was really mean to me before I
got here. The nice people here at the shelter think I've been abused, so I really
need a lot of hugs to get better. I don't appear to have any bad habits! I'm
quiet, social, sweet, and very well mannered. My energy level is low, and I
even appear to be housebroken. Please take me home with you today, or maybe
you could foster me to get me out of this noisy place? I'm really scared! My
friend Pam Lester can tell you how nice it would be to become a foster
family- it's free, and it gives us a break from being here at the shelter. On
your terms! Whenever it's convenient for you, even if just for a day! So
please, even if you can't adopt, please consider fostering me or one of my
friends here. It's a great program! Thank you!

Kennel
Sponsorship Program
Grant County Animal Outreach is
working hard to create a safer,
healthier environment for our canine friends at the animal shelter in Moses
Lake. We must sandblast all of the concrete surfaces free of the layers of
paint and sealants put on in previous years. By first stripping,
then sanitizing, and finally resealing the concrete with the correct 2-part
epoxy, we will be able to keep the animals safe from flaking paint and the
diseases that could be sealed beneath it.
Pricing is for (1) one calendar year from the date of completion for the
bank in which your sponsored kennel is in. This is a one time
purchase for this advertising space and sponsorship of that kennel's
improvement, NOT a monthly commitment. During that year, a
metal sign plate created by Lake Bowl will hang on the front of the kennel,
announcing to visitors how this sponsor helped to make these kennels a safer
environment for all those who reside there. Each sponsor will have the
opportunity to renew the same kennel or make an advance request for an
alternate kennel (if available) the following year. Space is limited in key
areas.
Pricing is based on kennel size and visibility for advertising ranging from
$50 to $500. The original cost of the project was expected to exceed $8,000.
Though our goal was to complete this by January 15th,
2008, we have found some individuals who may have either equipment or time
to help with the labor portion of the project. If we are able to secure
this help, we will lower the costs considerably, and we can then do
further improvements with this kennel fund. We are now focusing
on securing as many sponsors as possible at this time, while these
contributed services may be available. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!
We urge you to call today, and help us make these kennels a cleaner, safer
place for everyone.

Hi I am Halle
Halle came to the shelter
with a ruptured cornea and was taken into foster care. (She looked like the
Terminator!)
She
has now had her eye removed and healed completely, ready to find that forever
home!
This face speaks volumes to those with a compassionate heart. Halle had a rough
beginning, but now she is developing into a beautiful "lightly
salted" black lady of a cat.
Notes from Halle- Well, I've been through mad crazy stuff since finding
myself at the shelter! I'm a CYBORG cat! But don't let that scare you, I'm
all feisty love and kisses on the inside. I have been kickin'
it in a foster home while I recover but VERY SOON I will be ready to get outta dodge and find my forever home! You can meet me
today though so gimme a call and let's hook up!
3/19- I hear I get to hit the singles scene again! Call on me today! I've
been in foster, but this half-way house rap isn't for me. I'm ready to meet
my SOUL MATE!

Why Spay & Neuter is Important:
It's Good for Your Pet:
Spaying and
neutering helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives.
Spaying and neutering can eliminate or reduce the incidence of a number of
health problems that can be very difficult or expensive to treat.
Spaying and neutering reduces the risk of many forms of cancer in companion
animals.
It's Good for You:
Spaying and neutering
makes pets better, more affectionate companions.
Neutering cats makes them less likely to spray and mark territory.
Spaying a dog or cat eliminates her heat cycle.
Unsterilized animals often exhibit more behavior
and temperament problems than do those who have been spayed or neutered.
It's Good for Your
Community:
Communities spend
millions of dollars to control unwanted animals.
Animal shelters are overburdened with unwanted animals that end up being
euthanized or suffering on the streets.
According
to the Humane Society of the United States:
Average number of
litters a fertile cat can produce in one year: 3
Average number of
animals in an average feline litter: 4-6
In seven years, one
female cat and her offspring can theoretically produce 420,000 cats.
One unaltered cat
could lead to the death of almost half a million cats and kittens over the
next seven years.
Number of cats and dogs
entering shelters each year: 8-12 million
Number of cats and
dogs euthanized by shelters each year: 4-6 million
