We celebrated National Adoption Weekend on Jan. 16-17 at Petco, 8775 Tualatin Sherwood Rd., Tualatin. We helped support our partner organizations with dogs and cats for adoption with an information table where people could learn about our low cost spay/neuter programs.
On Sunday, January 24th we were at the Pongo Fund, the pet food bank in Portland. Clients of this food bank are many times interested getting help to have their pets fixed, but aren't sure of the resources available. At our last outreach event there, 15 dog and 15 cat guardians asked for assistance.
On January 30th we were at the Fix-it-Fair on at Parkrose High School, 12003 NE Shaver Street, Portland.
Many thanks to the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon. They hosted a clinic for us on December 17th where 45 cats were spayed or neutered. And we just held another clinic at their location in early January where 25 cats were altered. We really appreciate their dedication to helping end the cat overpopulation crisis. They are also great to work with and do a fantastic job with the kitties in their care.
Tail-wagging Good Time at Holiday Fundraiser!
Thanks to everyone who came out last weekend to support us and to celebrate
Healthy Pets NW Alberta's 5th anniversary.
We've heard from lots of folks that they had a great time sampling the delicious food and wine.
Photographer Horace Long was busy all evening
capturing special moments of pets with Santa. The competition was fierce for many of the auction items,
and congrats go to Casey McDonald who rode home in style on the cool cruiser bike that was raffled off.
We received enough donations to fund close to 100 spay/neuter surgeries for dogs and cats.
This will prevent many hundreds of kitten and puppies born unwanted and without homes.
We sincerely appreciate all who helped us achieve this success.
A very special thank you goes to Laura and her amazing staff at Healthy Pets NW Alberta. They worked tirelessly to make the event run smoothly and generously supplied the food and wine, raffle bike, and other items too numerous to mention. Be sure to thank them for caring so much about the animals the next time you shop there. And if you haven't had a chance to check out the store, please do so! They have a great selection of quality pet supplies and are very knowledgeable.
Ho,Ho, Ho!
Pet photos with Santa at Petco,
8775 Tualatin Sherwood Rd., Tualatin, December 12. Photos are
$8.95, and $5 from each purchase will be donated to our organization to fund spay/neuter
surgeries for cats and dogs.
Our first day of photos last weekend was a blast as you can see here! Santa and his elf worked hard to make sure every shot turned out merry and bright. Please come out and bring your dog or cat and let them tell Santa what they'd like for Christmas while you support OSNF.
November 2009 Clinics
November was a busy month! We were fortunate to be able to hold two
one-day spay/neuter clinics at local facilities, in addition to our
continuing program at Multnomah County Animal Services.
Oswego Vet Clinic generously held a spay/neuter clinic for us on November 1st where 40 cats were fixed. The clinic staff were wonderful to work with and we are looking forward to another event in the future.
Many thanks to the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon
for hosting a clinic for us on November 12th where 30 cats were spayed or
neutered. This was the third such clinic they have hosted for us
this year and we are always impressed with the care they show the
kitties.
Our last clinic of the year will also be hosted by Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon. We're hoping to end the year with at least 30 more kitties spayed or neutered. And we're already in the planning stages for next year's Tom and Mom Cat Special program, our collaborative effort in conjunction with Spay Day USA. Check back next month for more info!
