Donating Supplies to the Shelter
Some folks like to donate supplies directly to the shelter and they are most welcome.
There are a couple of ways to do this. Marketplace Foods, WalMart and the Northern
Lakes Co-op all provide very convenient donation centers where things can be left to be
picked up by shelter staff or volunteers. Items can also be taken directly to the shelter.
Pop Can Donations
Book Donations
Thrift Shop Donations
Donation Houses
It is located just a short drive out of Hayward on 77 East at O'Brian Hill Road.
Some items to consider donating include:
Dog and puppy foods both dry and canned
Cat and kitten foods both dry and canned
Collars, leads, harnesses
rubber gloves
bleach (we use LOTS!)
laundry detergent
dish soaps
paper towels
Aluminum or stainless steel feeding bowls for dogs
reams of typing/printer paper
Dog treats and toys
Cat treats and toys
bath towels
blankets
dog & cat combs and brushes
Any routine cleaning supplies such as window cleaners, bathroom cleaners, liquid hand
soaps, cleansers and the like
Same goes for office supplies such as pens, poster boards, paper, paper clips, rubber
bands, markers....all the little things that make a office go
A donut or two for the hard working staff is nice now and then too!
I Wonder What's in That Cupboard?
Meet Sebastion
This handsome gentleman was adopted as a kitten (known as Ebony) and has grown
into a large, masculine looking (he's neutered of course) feline. His road to adulthood
was paved with the usual kitten misdeeds though, according to his family, there were
more than the usual number. But they weathered the storm and have settled down to a
reasonably peaceful existence. The broken lamps, broken alarm clock and the garbage
incidents are all in the past.
His family says he still has boundless energy and a very healthy dose of curiosity but
also that he hasn't a malicious bone in his body. He gets a daily brushing, a "sponge
bath" routine that they contrived just for him (we'd like to witness that one!), and enjoys
views of numerous bird feeders from his two window perches.
We had a nice letter from Sebastion's family along with this great picture. It speaks so
clearly to why pet lovers are willing to loose a lamp or two. They said that when their
previous cat was lost to old age they never thought another pet could fill the void. But
"this beautiful green-eyed monster" has done his work well and their family, once again,
feels complete.
Our thanks to all of you who have opened your homes and hearts to one of our animals.
