We have all been wondering when the rain will end and summer will arrive. Thank you to the dedicated dog walkers who make sure our canine friends get out to walk & sniff between raindrops! (And our great feline friends who loyally visit, rain or shine!) Hopefully the sun will be shining more than hiding and summer weather will officially arrive!

If you have some extra time:
  • We need a strong volunteer to shovel gravel into the outside kennels. If you can help with this, please see Phyllis.
  • We also need a volunteer to coordinate our T-shirts. We have a new logo and would like to offer apparel for sale, but need someone with organizational skills to do this for us. Please see Beth when she gets back if you can help with this.
Chris & Rocky wait
to go on air.
Recently we had some nice exposure in the Leader Times and KDKA-TV. Rocky was featured on Pittsburgh Today Live. Shelby was featured on the Take-Home Tuesday segment. Click here to see Rocky's show. He was a perfect gentleman and we hope both he and Shelby go home soon!

Thanks for all that you do! See you around the shelter!
