Upping our Petco Game!

Thank you Pat Juaire for once again using your amazing sewing talents to help our organization! We knew we needed to make our Saturday Petco adoption table more attractive and thanks to Pat- now you can't miss us! We really appreciate your hard work! Seated left to right- Pat Juaire and Ann Mathis.

Thank You St. Mark's Church
|
|
Thank you to the Vacation Bible School students at St. Mark's Episcopal! They made delicious homemade treats for our dogs and got to meet a few as well! They fell in love with Rocket and Brock-Lee and proclaimed this day as their favorite day!
We love our friends at St. Mark's Episcopal Church!
By popular demand- here is the recipe they used for the Apple Cinnamon Donut Cookies. Due to time constraints- they did not make the "frosting", however our dogs gobbled them up just the same!

Praters Mill Fundraiser - Saturday and Sunday Oct 14 and 15
|
This year, for the first time, the Humane Society of NWGA will be selling all natural pet treats in a booth at Praters Mill! The dates are Saturday, October 14th from 9-6 and Sunday, October 15th from 9- 5. We need your help!
We need treat makers and treat bakers and someone to keep track of who is making what! Treats can be baked or dehydrated and frozen so we can have plenty on hand for the big weekend. Some great treat ideas can be found on Pinterest - and if you want some dog themed cookie cutters get with Devon!
The Jenkins/Joyce sisters will be designing the booth but would love some help. Also will need help Friday, October 13 to set up and Sunday evening to take down.
We will need some folks Saturday and Sunday for sales. Just commit a few hours and then enjoy the fair. Smiling faces required.
Email Devon at executivedirector@hsnwga.org if you want to help or have any ideas for our booth! Thanks!

Volunteer Opportunities
|
|
Want to volunteer but can't commit to a shift for kennel duty? Here are some other ways to help! Just go online to www.hsnwga.org and fill out an application form and let us know where your interests are. If you have another skill or something you'd like to share- just let us know!
- Be a PetCo Ambassador! Sign up with a friend and one weekend afternoon take a couple of our dogs to PetCo. It only takes a few hours and you can do it one time or commit to one shift a month!
- Special Event Adoption Teams! The Humane Society of Northwest Georgia often gets invited to special adoption events. These are one time events that generally only last a few hours but are great publicity for our pets and can lead to adoptions. Add your name to this list and you will be contacted when these events occur to see if you are available.
- Kennel Duty or Cattery Substitute! Can't commit to a shift but wouldn't mind subbing occasionally? This is a perfect way to interact with the animals and make a big impact.
- Tech Support! Help create spreadsheets and teach friendly grandmotherly types to enter and share data. Introduce them to the world of social media.
