| Pets need "stuff" too! |
| Our "want list" also includes YOU. We DESPERATELY need volunteers to help at the shelter! Do you have more time than money at the moment? Do you love animals but can't foster any right now? We would love to have you as a volunteer at the shelter. You'll never be rewarded as wonderfully as you are when you arrive at the shelter, open a kennel door and have a dog dancing at your feet, ready to walk and be petted. Or that cat who is so grateful for a clean litter box that the fresh food is ignored until the box is appreciatively used. :-) If you love animals, the animals need you as much as we do. It's not just about cleaning and feeding but giving love and attention to all these dogs and cats, love they need and deserve. It's about going to mobile adoptions and seeing the lights in people's eyes when they adopt a pet. It's about seeing the eagerness and happiness of a pet going to a new home. It's about seeing our work continue to grow so that the animals will always have our help and love on their side. It's about making a difference. Call us, join us, please! |
| Thank YOU! |
| Donation Jars for CCHS are at the Green Iguana in Port Lavaca. If your business would like to have one of our jars placed with you, please let us know. We appreciate every bit of money you place in these jars. We're adopting out so many good animals, we hope you'll continue to "adopt us." THANK YOU! |

| Hey, pets need "stuff" too! |
| For ME? THANKS!! |
| A new, BIG food bowl, just what I wanted - thank you! |
| The biggest wish we have is that you will find a place in your heart and home for one of our wonderful companion animals. There are few rewards greater than adopting a dog or cat that will live because of YOU! |
| Are we happy or what? |
| Well, you just never know what we do when you're not looking....: - ) |
| AND REMEMBER.... |
| AND DOGS, PLEASE!!!! |
| The Ten Commandments of Pet Ownership (originally written for dog owners but most of it applies to all pets, adapted from various versions available online): [1] When you adopt me my life is likely to last 15 to 20 years. Please don't forsake me, any separation from you will be very painful. [2] Please give me time to understand what it is you want from me. Change can be more difficult for me than for you. [3] Please trust me and help me to trust you...it is crucial for my well being as well as yours. [4] Don't be angry with me for too long, and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment. I have only YOU. [5] Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice when you're speaking to me. [6] Be aware that however you treat me, I'll never forget it. [7] Before you hit me, remember that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones in your hand, but I choose not to hurt you. [8] Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Is there another reason for my behavior? Perhaps I'm not getting the right food or I've been out in the sun too long and maybe my heart is getting old and weak. Try to understand what it is like to be me. [9] Please take care of me when I get old. Don't abandon me for you, too, will grow old. [10] Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, "I can't bear to watch it" or "Let it happen in my absence." I need you with me even at the end of my journey. Please always do what is best for me even if it is unbearable for you to do so - because I love you and trust that you will. |
