Save This Date!

Paw Pals' 10th Annual Wagathon to benefit the Humane Society of Clinton County will be Saturday, May 8th. The Wagathon is Paw Pals' biggest fundraiser of the year. All the money raised is used to directly help the homeless animals with vet care and make them comfortable and happy during their stay at the shelter. Prizes are awarded to the top pledge collectors. Please join us on our "walk for the animals" and mark your calendars! Don't miss out on all the fun with our pet contests too! More details and reminders will follow occasionally.

Volunteer Puts in Countless Hours

Rick Ploughe faithfully comes every Sunday to organize volunteers and help walk the dogs. There is nothing Rick won't do to help the homeless animals including taking animals to the vet, transporting animals to rescues, fixing fences of foster homes, helping take pictures, donating his time and money to help make the Humane Society of Clinton County a better place. Here Rick is shown placing a new collar on Blossom after giving her a bath prior to her adoption.

Spot with His New Family!

The Thorp family decided to add a new family member to their household today. As you can tell by Spot's smile, he is pleased with their decision!

"Spokesdog" and "Spokescat" Search

The Clinton County Humane Society is looking for a "Spokesdog" and "Spokescat" for 2010. The winning dog and cat will appear in ads for the shelter, a 2011 calendar and appear at various shelter events throughout the year. To enter your dog and/or cat, please send a $25 donation per animal (to help their fellow animals at the shelter), a picture of your pet and a "bio" telling us all about him or her. The deadline for entries is Sunday, January 31. Entries will be narrowed down to 12 per category and winners and runners-up will be picked on Saturday, February 6. All 12 finalists will be included in the 2011 calendar! Please send your donation, pet picture(s) and bio(s) to the shelter at 825 Izaak Walton Drive, Frankfort, Indiana, 46041. Pets of shelter employees and board members will not be considered for this contest. If you have questions, please contact Tami, board vice president, at 765-947-5712.

Paris and Rowdy Celebrate Christmas with Their Family

Paris, the one on the left, and Rowdy, the one on the right, are shown with their family, Amber and Anthony Schenck this past Christmas. Both Paris and Rowdy were adopted from our humane society. Paris was fostered by Julie Foster prior to her adoption. Many more pets can be saved if we can find more foster homes. Please contact Beverly Ploughe at ploughe@geetel.net if you are interested in becoming a foster home.

Spot Needs a Home!

Brianna comes every Sunday to give special attention to the cats and dogs. Spot just adores his special time with Brianna. We appreciate our dedicated volunteers!
