About
"Canines on the Catwalk"!
Have you
marked your calendars for
our fashion show
& silent auction yet?
Join us on Sunday, March 14
for
"Canines on the Catwalk!"
We'll start the afternoon with light
hors d'ouvres and a drink as we browse the
unbelievable selection of silent auction items and
begin to place out bids. Then sit down with
friends and make new ones as you enjoy
lunch. Once we've all eaten, we'll start the
fashion show, featuring clothing from our very own
Animal Lifeline Thrift Shop! And as this is
an Animal Lifeline event, you can be sure this
won't be a frou-frou affair -- expect a lot of fun
and laughter as our canines escort some
out-of-the-ordinary models down the
runway!
Have concerns about missing a game
during March Madness? NO WORRIES! If
you need to take a break from the festivities to
check the score, two bartenders will be manning
the cash bar downstairs!

How to
Adopt the Perfect Pet!
Presented by Animal Lifeline &
Petfinder
A workshop designed
to provide you with all the information you need
to know, what you need to do and what you should
watch out for in the adoption
process.
Rescuing and
adopting a pet is a wonderful way to bring an
animal into your life, but like anything else,
understanding the process and making sure you
are adopting a healthy animal that is right for
your family can be difficult.
Join
Denise Bash, Founder of Animal
Lifeline, a national support
organization for rescues, shelters and municipal
groups and Kim Saunders, Vice President
Shelter Outreach, Petfinder, and author of the
Adopted Dog Bible, for an
incredible program that will discuss the
following:
- Where to find the right animal
- How to find a reputable rescue
- What you should expect from the rescue
process (fees, services)
- Pre-adoption Preliminaries
- Interview questions you should ask your
rescue service
- How to prepare your family and your home for
your new pet
- Early warning signs of a bad placement and
how to handle it
- Training, Basic Nutrition, Exercise and
Grooming
Tips

Book Signing: The
Adopted Dog Bible
An
autographed copy of The Adopted Dog
Bible will be available for purchase at
the workshop at a discounted rate. This book is
an incredible resource for learning everything
about adopting a dog through petfinder.com as
well as caring for the dog after
adoption. | |

Speaking
of inspired animal advocates, we'd like to tell you
about about Hannah, one of our volunteers. She saw
a need in the animal rescue community and took the
initiative to help meet that need.
What
follows here is a letter Hannah wrote to reach out
within her community, a photo of our young volunteer,
and a note from her proud mom and fellow Animal Lifeline
volunteer, Brenda.
Animal
Lifeline is so lucky to have the support of such a
special family!

Collars 4 Canines
Dear
Cold Spring Hunt Families,
My name is Hannah. I am a 6th grader at Cold
Spring Elementary School, and am also a member of your
neighborhood.
I volunteer at an animal rescue called Animal
Lifeline. The president of the organization,
Denise Bash, runs a transport to several Southern states
where the population of homeless dogs is at a crisis
level. The transport brings homeless dogs North to
find homes. Once the dogs have passed a behavioral
test to be sure they're adoptable, there is only one
thing they need to be allowed on the transport: a
collar.
My friends and I are working hard to find collars to
send to the dogs. If you would like to help us,
please consider donating a collar. It could be of
any size, any color...there are a lot of dogs that need
them.
There will be a blue cooler on my front step. It
will be there between now and Christmas. You can
put your collars in there so they stay
dry.
Those dogs need loving homes for the
holidays and for the rest of their lives. If you
choose to donate, one collar could save a dog's life and
help a sad, lonely dog find a loving home. Thank
you so much for helping.
Sincerely,
Hannah
(Brenda's
note)
The picture shows Hannah with
our own little Bichon, Sadie.
Hannah wrote the letter and
distributed it to the 262 houses in our
neighborhood. She and four of her friends spent
most of a Sunday afternoon walking from mailbox to
mailbox to get the letters out. The response was
overwhelming! When even a 3% return is considered
good for a "mass mailing" campaign, Hannah's letter
brought back a 44% return - along with many, many notes
of encouragement and thanks for what she was doing to
help the animals. We were so thankful for the
response that Hannah wrote and distributed a SECOND
letter, letting everyone know how many collars were
collected and thanking them for their donations.
_____________________________________
We would
like to congratulate Hannah and her helpers, Julia,
Nicole,Taylor and Nathan, for their incredibly
successful efforts in their Collars 4 Canines
campaign!
These
collars have made their way to several locations in
need: Animal Lifeline foster families; Last Chance Ranch
in Richlandtown; the Mary Ann Morris Animal Society in
Bamberg, SC (where our own Delaware Valley College
students worked on an outreach trip over their holiday
break); and the Ritchie County Animal Shelter in
Harrisville, WV which recently suffered a devastating
loss of life and supplies due to fire.
Thank you
for all your efforts, Hannah!

 Meet Haas!
Poor Haas was
dumped at a very high kill shelter. This darling
setter/shepherd mix is lanky with a feathered tail,
longer ears and a wavy coat. He is only 5-6 months old
and was housebroken before he was dumped, but may need a
refresher course.
Haas loves everyone!!!
He is great with others and just wants to play -- he
would make an excellent family dog.
You can
see video of Haas on his Petfinder page, and if you'd like to
arrange to meet him, please fill out an application on our website. This
very sweet, gentle boy is one big doofy puppy who
deserves a loving home!
|
UPDATE: Edy is
still on the loose, but she was spotted in Richlandtown
yesterday. People are in the woods calling for her
right now, and lost pet agencies are posting flyers and
robo-calling the surrounding area to let neighbors know
to keep an eye out for Edy.
We hope to be able to share
good news about our missing friend in our next
newsletter!
