Donations make all the difference

To the editor:
May is a month of new beginnings – nature comes into full bloom. It is also a month that typically brings new kittens and puppies to Foothills Humane Society.
Our staff, volunteers and board members work hard to provide skilled care, proper medical attention and diet, as well as sufficient hugs and brushings to ensure that all of our animals know that they are special to us – each and every one.
Our donors make all this possible – whether through dollars, volunteering at the shelter or working on a project.
We want the community to know about our May projects that provide an opportunity for them to demonstrate their continued support and help.
Due to the increase in animal population, Foothills will have a May 26 adopt-a-thon. This is a great time to see all of the animals available for adoption, and then make a choice of a new friend.  We are also re-launching a brick fundraiser.
We now have 100 engraved bricks as part of our pavilion patio, with plenty of room for more. You can purchase an engraved brick to honor a loved one – either two legged or four. This is another way to help FHS continue caring for our many charges.
Bottom line, Foothills Humane Society is grateful to the all of the communities that we serve. We fulfill our mission because of your support. Hope to see you on May 26.
– Emily Clark, president
Foothills Humane Society
