The shelter truly needs your support for this event if we are to survive into 2009. The price of everything has gone up and we struggle every day to provide daily needs for the animals. The cost of spay/neuter surgery has risen, as well as the cost of almost every medication - antibiotics, worming meds, flea control, heartworm prevention, heartworm testing kits, FELV/FIV tests and the list goes on. Not to mention the cost of transporting animals to and from the spay/neuter clinic and veterinarians. Our goal is to offset those costs with the proceeds from this Howl o ween Party.
We began Almost Home almost three years ago and since then have placed over 1200 dogs and cats into new forever homes. Foreclosures and evictions have increased the need for all of the services we provide at the shelter, not only taking in pets who have lost their home but supplying dog and cat food to people who need help temporarily so they may keep their pets with them. We hope you will join us so we may continue helping the animals and their families who need us.
Please invite family, friends, co-workers, anyone who loves animals. We really need them. You have all supported us in the past and we greatly appreciate it. We need your support now more than ever.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks so much,
Nancy
And the dogs, cats and staff of Almost Home Animal Shelter
P.S. We are still looking for Chinese Auction items if you would like to donate something or know a business who might donate a basket, merchandise or gift certificate.
