SANTA PAWS makes the SECOND of his two “double duty”
appearances in the area tomorrow! He
will be at PetSmart in Council Bluffs on December 12th and December
13th from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m.
He will also be at Petco on 72nd and Dodge on December 12th
from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. Cost for
this wonderful digital photo with SANTA PAWS in a decorator frame is only $10.00
+ tax. A portion of the proceeds
from the SANTA PAWS photos goes to SOLAS (Support Our Local Animal Shelter) for
the benefit of the animals at the Council Bluffs Animal Shelter.
WINTER may not, officially, be here yet – but the recent
snow is making it very uncomfortable for a lot of animals (and humans) in the
area. The animals at the Council
Bluffs Animal Shelter, 2821 South 15th Street want to remind you to
check to make sure that your animals that spend most of their time outside have
fresh (not frozen) water to drink and a warm place to go to get away from the
super cold temperatures and blowing wind.
Even if your animals have long fur coats they still need the protection
from the cold. As always – the best
place for your companion animals is INSIDE the house with you!!!
Koleczko hopes that someone out there is looking for a cute
long legged puppy to join their family.
He’s a 3-month-old Hound blend in a super short black suit.
Koleczko was wearing a bright yellow collar when he was found in the 100
block of South 8th Street
Smoochie is a super sweet little 4-5-year-old Poodle mix in
a curly suit of soft white. This
adorable darling is looking for the perfect lap to claim as her very own “nap
lap!” Smoochie’s housebroken and
would make a great companion for someone who is home alone a lot.
She was found wandering on Logan Street.
Mayfield was wearing a red collar when he was found in the
1800 block of Avenue A. He’s
a 6-8-month-old Labrador mix who’s not really a chocolate and not really
yellow – he’s more reddish gold than anything else.
Mayfield’s a very playful fellow who loves to play ball and go for long
walks.
Kiely hopes that someone is looking for a large “doll” just
in time for Christmas! He’s an
absolutely stunning Ragdoll mix in a large suit of cream, lilac and white who’s
already been neutered. Kiely has
bright blue eyes and loves to be held and cuddled.
Ragdolls got their name because they simply go limp like a Ragdoll when
you pick them up. They are one of
the largest breeds of domestic cats and make wonderful companions.
You can tell just by looking at the expression on
Sundance’s face that she’s full of mischief!
And that’s probably why she’s as cute as she is – that was she can get
away with almost anything! Sundance
is a 3-month-old red and white tabby in a little short super soft fur coat.
Just look at those bright green eyes – they’re just beckoning you to come
and adopt her!
Spensir (yes, I changed the spelling) is a 6-month-old
fellow in gray and white striped “pajamas” who appears to be winking at you.
No – there’s nothing wrong with his eye – that’s just his way of trying
to get your attention. This super
cute feline was looking for a handout or a warm place to stay in the 1200 block
of Twenty First Avenue.
If any of these animals sound like your missing companions
– please let us know asap.
When you are out Christmas shopping for your family and
friends – please remember the homeless animals at our shelter who would love to
have new toys for Christmas, too.
The cats like anything with catnip in it and balls with bells.
And the dogs like chew toys, hard rubber balls and Greenies.
SOLAS volunteers will also be at Petco on 72nd
and Dodge this Saturday from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. with animals available for
adoption from our shelter and from our Temp Adopt Program.

organizations to be Kennel Sponsors.

lettering would be attached to the door of the kennel for one year or longer.

combination thereof when multiple sponsorships are made.

Animal Shelter.
