Good times at Howl-O-Ween

It was a splendid afternoon in Elmwood Park on Sunday for Howl-O-Ween. The Roanoke Valley SPCA collected more than $18,000 in donations to help homeless dogs and cats find their future families, and hundreds of dogs and their families had a great day in the park.

Fun!

I was very happy to see blog reader Donna and her American Bulldog Samson, and I got to chat with natural diet seminar instructors Celie and Kristin with their English bulldogs Boswell and Rupert. And Dexter made new friends during his debut as The Happy Wag walking billboard.

Foster homes for the holidays

The Roanoke Valley SPCA is participating in the national “Foster A Lonely Pet For the Holidays” pet fostering program.

Over 13,000 pet rescue organizations nationwide are trying to empty the kennels for Christmas, encouraging families to open their home for the holidays to an adoptable pet waiting for a forever home.

Fostered pets can be picked up between December 18-23, and can be returned to the RVSPCA between December 30-January 2.

The RVSPCA will provide all needed supplies and support to the temporary families. You can view all of the pets online at www.rvspca.org, or visit the shelter to meet them.  The goal is to have each of these pets into a home by noon on December 23.

Ann Marie Sweeney, foster coordinator for the RVSPCA, will answer questions about the program for people interested in making this Christmas a happy holiday for a pet in need.  Contact Sweeney at 344-4840, ext. 208 or e-mail asweeney@rvspca.org.
