A Bag of Special Dog Food will be a Big Help for Our Dogs with
Allergies |
 As each
animal enters the shelter, they bring a history that might be a
mystery if they come in as strays. Our vet techs try to identify the
weak, the ill or those with special needs due to allergies. We
routinely have a few dogs who require special food to help them
improve or regain health and vitality. We would like to continue to
feed them one of the (Hypo-Allergenic) Natural Balance Brands;
Sweet Potato & Venison Formula,
Potato & Duck Formula,
Sweet Potato & Fish Formula.
We can use both dry and canned varieties. Please bring us a
bag of this special food for some of our special dogs. It is
available at most major pet food stores.

Can't Adopt an Animal but
Would Love to Help One? |
|
Sometimes the timing is not right, or
the circumstances make it impossible to adopt a dog or cat who captures
your heart.
Consider sponsoring a pet's adoption by purchasing a GET OUT OF JAIL
FREE Card for that dog or cat who melts your heart. Choose an
adoptable adult dog or cat, and pay their adoption fee (Dogs: $75.00 /
Cats: $40.00). We will keep the card on file until someone chooses that
dog or cat to adopt, fills out the application and is approved. Only
then will they be told that their new best friend has a Get Out of Jail
Free card, and when they ride out into the sunset together we will mail
the card to you so you can share in the joy.

Sad News about Diamond; Tyler Recovering from
Surgery |
| |
 |
| |
Update: 12-23-09 With a
very heavy heart, we are very sad to say that Diamond, (pictured top
left) who we thought would be having surgery for her broken leg, died in
her sleep last night at the shelter. Her injury was deemed to be an old
one when examined by the vets, but her x-rays revealed an even more
serious picture. Whatever the injury (car accident?), her internal
organs had been pushed up into her lungs and esophagus; explaining the
faint cough she was exhibiting. Unable to operate, Diamond was brought
back to the shelter to figure out the next step, and she decided for us.
Tyler is recuperating in a foster home where he will be getting the
necessary physical therapy to complete his recovery. Both dogs, who
arrived with broken legs came from the shelter that will be closing in West
Virginia; so far the number tops 40 that we have taken.
Tyler's femur was particularly troublesome since the hip
socket was damaged as well. Tyler, 9 months old, is expected to make a
full recovery.
Medical intervention at this level
strain shelter finances, so we ask for your help to share the load for
the personable, affectionate dog
by sending your tax-deductible
contribution to WAHS and mark in the memo line "Tyler".

Thank you to everyone who called about me offering to open up your
home and heart to help me live out the rest of my life happily. I am
currently in a loving foster home with people who understand the
needs of a senior dog and I am very grateful.

moving to a place that did not allow pets. Sydney, the cat, has
since been adopted.

a little bit longer for his forever home, but is there right now!

It costs $1,500.00 per day to run the Washington Area Humane Society.
That includes the utilities, building upkeep, medicine, food, cat
litter, veterinarian services, gas and maintenance for our vehicles,
insurance, postage, payroll, and everything else required to run a
normal business.
We have no steady stream of income upon which we can
rely. We rely on you.
That’s what the 1,500 Club is meant to be ... 1,500 people who donate a
dollar a day all at one time. It’s a reliable way to secure our $500,000
annual budget so we won’t have to sweat the whole year deciding from day
to day between whether to purchase flea and tick medicine or pay the
water bill.
Become a member of an exceptional group of supporters who
pledge a dollar a day annually to our Humane Society. Call 724-229-0404
to pledge your dollar a day. Or email:
wahsorg@fyi.net. Or
download
the pledge form,
and mail it back. You will be contacted during the last week of
November to collect your tax-deductible pledge donation via check or
credit card. Just a dollar a day from 1,500 animal-loving, caring people
will do it to keep our shelter in business for another year.
All 1,500 Club WAHS members can attend and vote at the
annual meeting. |

Link your business to a homeless dog or
cat at the Washington Area Humane Society. Our animals may be in a
kennel or cage for a long time while they wait for that special
someone who will take them home forever.
Each adoptable dog and cat featured on
our website is also featured on three other, much larger and
well-recognized websites, who host our pet list: Petfinder
(owned by Animal Planet), Adoptapet.com and Pets911.com.
These sites are very popular and heavily utilized by potential
adopters nationwide expanding the pool of people who view our
animals ... and your link.
This program is geared to businesses who
wish to be associated with one or more particular "adoptees" at our
shelter through a promise of a donation to the shelter when that dog
or cat is adopted. When your sponsored animal is viewed, your
business website link [sample]and
generous donation are seen by visitors.
|
| |
Your sponsorship may be that
little boost or incentive that potential adopters need to take a
second look at a dog or cat at our shelter.
