Casper

Casper

Casper is a handsome Lab mix that was rescued from a kill shelter after he ended up there as a stray and was not reclaimed by his owners. He is currently in our prison program and is working on refining his already learned manners and commands. He does seem to be house-trained as well as crate-trained. He does well with other dogs and did not pay much attention to the cats at the vet’s office when he was there. This boy loves to cuddle and is waiting for a family of his own!

December Volunteer Opportunities!

Happy Thanksgiving! In the spirit of giving thanks, we would like to say THANK YOU to all of our volunteers for their help and commitment to our organization!!  We also have two upcoming opportunities available where you can give some of your time to help A.D.O.P.T.!

Opportunity #1: Holiday/Santa Pet Pictures
A.D.O.P.T. will be doing Holiday/Santa Pet Pictures on December 7th and 8th at Noah’s Too Pet Resort (5564 N Hamilton Road in Gahanna).  We need volunteers to help both days! On Saturday we are looking for volunteers to help at the 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM shift and at the 12:30 PM -3:00 PM shift; on Sunday we are looking for volunteers from 11:00 AM – 1:30 PM and from 1:30 PM – 4:00 PM. We need volunteers to help with the following jobs:

  • Photographer (with camera)
  • Two elves to hold dogs
  • Santa
  • Two people printing pictures
  • One person at the Jewelry table

If you are able to volunteer for either or both days, please let Joy ([email protected]) know by sending your name, preferred shift time, and phone number.

This year we will also be selling jewelry, so while people are waiting in line to take their pet picture with Santa, they can also holiday shop!  Additionally,if you make anything that you think would also be great to sell as part of our fundraiser – and are willing to give the proceeds to A.D.O.P.T. Pet Rescue – please contact Joy about that!

If you are unable to volunteer, but may be able to stop by with your pet, we encourage you come and have their picture taken with Santa! It makes a great holiday card to send out to family and friends! Please also pass along this event to other family and friends that might be interested!

All proceeds from Santa Pics and jewelry sales will go to A.D.O.P.T. Pet Rescue and to helping all of the adorable animals we bring in throughout the year!

Opportunity #2: PetSmart Food Pick-up
The second volunteer opportunity in December is the last food pick-up from PetSmart Warehouse for 2013.  This will take place on December 11th at 12:30 PM.  Volunteers will meet at the A.D.O.P.T. Pet Rescue storage unit to help an A.D.O.P.T. Board Member organize and clean out our unit. You will then all carpool together to the PetSmart Warehouse between 1:30 and 1:45 PM (remember to take an ID for entrance to the warehouse) then help load and unload food there and then back at the A.D.O.P.T Pet Rescue storage unit.
If you are interested in help out at this last food pick-up of the year, please contact Joy and include your name and phone number.

Thank you all again for your help so far this year, and enjoy this holiday season!!

Chloe (formerly Iris)

ADOPT received the following update on Chloe (formerly Iris).  We hope you enjoy it!

We just want to say thanks again for all of your help in our adoption of Chloe. We’ve had her about 3 weeks now, and she is definitely settled into our family. Chloe is still quiet, friendly and playful. The care and training she received in your program are so evident in her trusting nature and good behavior. She is very attached to Bob and me, and she is happy visiting with our 3 and 5 year old grandchildren. I think Chloe would agree that you helped us find the right fit. Here are a couple of photos of Chloe – content in her new home.
