Critter Cruise 2008
Most of you probably have at least one pet in the house. We have five; Holly - the German Shepherd, Scarlett - the Siamese cat, Patch - the infamous one-eyed shelter kitty, Boris - the parakeet and Spike - the beta fish. They are all loved and ridiculously spoiled members of our family.
However, as this is written there are 88 dogs, 138 cats and 36 birds, rabbits, hamsters or other small animals who have no place to call home except the Oregon Humane Society.
For those who did not know, the Oregon Humane Society does not receive any public funding through the collection of taxes. Their sole source of funding is animal lovers like all of us. So in the spirit of giving during the holidays, who better to receive help than those who truly cannot help themselves – homeless pets.
Come join the “Critter Cruise” to be held on Saturday, November 22, 2008. We will start the day with a hearty breakfast then head over to Pet Smart with “wish lists” in hand supplied by the Oregon Humane Society for some “dog-gone” fun shopping!
Once we have our pet presents, we will make a cruise up 82nd Avenue in the traditional “low ‘n slow” fashion so as to better show off any special décor you may have dreamed up (Go for it Babybat!) then on to the shelter.
When we arrive, we will be greeted in the parking lot by OHS volunteers and some of their furry charges for photo ops, weather permitting. Once we deliver our goodies, they have arranged an exclusive behind the scenes tour of their incredible facility and we can meet some of the animals that are looking to be adopted. Who knows, maybe some of you will go home with a new forever friend!
Please RSVP as soon as you can so we can let the shelter know how many of us to expect (and we hope to arrange for special parking as well so we need to know how many cars). The Oregon Humane Society is very excited to welcome us and we hope to have a great showing for them!
