I always check out the lost puppies that end up at the Animal Shelter in case I know any of them.  They post them to their facebook page.  Of course we never let our kids off leash except in the fence and never take off their collars and tags except in the house, but I know it happens.  You can be outside bathing your dog without his collar and in a flash a squirrel runs by and bam... you are chasing your dog down the street.  Over the years I have had clients call me to ask for all the places (vets and shelters) they should check when a pet has gone missing. And of course there are just strays here and there that end up at the shelter and need a home. 

 Today when I was checking out Putnam Animal Shelter facebook page I see they have put out a call for some supplies and I thought I'd help spread the word for them.  While they are waiting to be adopted these animals need things.   They are looking for newspapers and old towels or sheets.  I called my mom today to get her to save her old papers too. So I hope in a week or so I am making a big delivery of newspapers.  I bet if I go through my linens I can find a few towels to donate as well.   

Want to know how you can help?  Check out their website. They can always use donations, food, supplies and volunteers.  Oh and if you are looking for a pet think adopt and think adopt locally.  They are located at 107 Ridley Drive (next door to the sherrif's department) and their hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

We have 5 animals in our home that are all adopt/rescue and one cat at the office that we are going to transition after surgery to a forever home next week.    I can tell you from experience that you really do want to have a pet in your life.  But if you can't adopt right now you can get some newspapers and old towels down to the shelter can't you?

And if you are not in the Putnam County area please help your local shelter. I bet if you called them they would tell you some item they need as well.  Please adopt and donate.

Yup, they see a squirrel and it's all over.  My Molly dog is a runner, which is why she's chipped.  My beloved Poppy dog was not a runner and what a difference.  Yes, it happens.  I hope that the Putnam County Animal Shelter gets all the help it needs and then some!!

Me too Carla.  Love the story you told about why you named Poppy ... cute.  Also why our skitty kitty got her name.  We don't have our dogs chipped, but in the 4 years they've gotten away from me just twice and NOT out of my sight, but I really should look into it.

Tammy - Great post to spread the word about Putnam County Animal Shelter, hopefully they get lots of donations and supplies.

Tammy, I think people believe that county run shelters get all their supplies from budget money...not so much.  There is always something people can do for their county shelter...including their time.

Michelle- me too I have called everyone I know to tell them to save their newspapers.

Mona- I spoke to someone at the shelter the other day and she said their "budget" has been impacted SO much by fuel prices.  We have a large county so while the gas being so much higher than it was when the budget was done it has sucked away money that could have been used for food and supplies.  I am working hard to do what I can to help.  They do a great job here and donate much of their time to posting cute "please adopt me" photos on facebook (which really isn't in their job description) and working with the area Humane Society to get the ones that don't get adopted in a timely fashion out to foster homes to save their lives.  I adore the people who work at my local shelter.  They are animal lovers first, employees second.

Hi Tammy, I think it's a wonderful thing to find homes for these loving pets. They need all the help and donations they can get to continue having shelters for our furry friends.

Our granddaughter Chassy had been looking for any newspaper articles about her activities for her high school scrapbook..  She was volunteering at the local monthly shelter clinic this month.  spreading newspapers out and found an article that she didn't have..complete with photo and all.  She got rewarded in more than one way for helping that day.

Tammy:  I think all animal shelters, everywhere need help more than ever.  With the economy still down and people still losing jobs...they are more desperate than ever.

Jane- I actually just "waited" to have a cat neutuered until I had a closing.  He was inside, so not out making kittens, but I so understand the affordability of animals.  I think it has a lot to do with the number of animals they currently have.  Sad.

Jerry- I love animals so much and we have 5 at home and currently I have one at the office, I do what I can to help.

Judi- sounds like a win win.  And good for your granddaughter to be volunteering.  That's great.

Well this is a tough post.  I really can't have any more animals but I promise I will send a donation to a local shelter.  Promise

Liz- everyone can't take in an animal Liz.  But sometimes they'd just love to have a couple hours of time, some old newspapers or towels, a bag of dog or cat food, a few bucks... there is SO much people can do.

I've been mulling over adding another rescue doggie to my family.  You may have pushed me over the edge, Tammy.  I'll let you know what happens.

Chris- I'll be watching. Never enough fur love at my house. I would have brought Jack home to stay, but he had a serious fear of dogs.
