Early Saturday Afternoon Update

I’m thrilled to be able to say that one of Leo’s supporters has stepped forward to order, and fund, a FindToto voicemail blast in the 22204 area code. I’ve been worried that the pouring rain will keep some folks from going out and fliering or canvassing today, and this will really help towards filling that gap if that’s the case. Thanks for this boost goes to Susan who, as I told her, will definitely put herself on a higher cloud in heaven with this!

From some of our past lost dog searches, some of us have learned the value of hitting commerce areas and putting ¼ page fliers and even business cards (available for download from the menu at right) on windshields of parked cars. One of our volunteers who is doing that today is making it a family affair by having her kids put them into Ziploc sandwich or snack baggies to weather proof them. There’s nothing like giving a job to a kid, and teaching them the value of giving back to the community. Hopefully you can make use of that idea in your home and with your family too, even if it's to spark an entirely different idea!

And finally, with the heavy rain, we are interested in upgrading the feeding stations from open air to covered, meaning something like a cage style crate with a tarp or shower curtain, or a plastic travel crate – size enough for a 45 lb dog. One of our feeding station monitors has scared up a pup tent, but if we can have backups and cover for additional feeding stations, we want to reach out for them now. Please post a coment or email me if you have something to lend.
