Humane Society of the Ohio Valley

Hi Zootooers!

It has been one week since our visit from Richard Thompson and the Zootoo Crew! I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm still on cloud nine! What a spectacular day it was!!!! Our community showed the nation what a fine group of people we are!

Hold on to your hats.............I'm leaving May 14 for Orlando. On May 15, each of the twenty shelter managers will be presented with an envelope. Seventeen envelopes will contain $5000.00 and three envelopes will have tickets to New York, where the winner of the make over will be announced.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; we have already won. Our community has made it clear that they are willing to go the extra mile for us. We are blessed.

Now for some more exciting news! We made a couple of minor modificatons to the room where the cat cages are located that enabled us to allow the cats to roam free during the day. Males and females are separated of course. We Love Pets sold us a 200.00 cat condo for 50.00 and oh how the cats love it. The room has plenty of scratching surfaces and areas to sleep. It is a sight to behold.

We're on top of the world here at the HSOV and I'm proud to have so many zootooers on our side! As we work toward our goals let's not forget to recruit new members into the Zootoo Pet Lover Army. With elections nearing, it is crucial that we take advantage of the opportunity to force the "three potentials" to make a commitment to improving the welfare of this country's homeless animals.

Until next time, please spay or neuter your pet, teach your children the importance of spay / neuter, and ask friends and family to do the same!
