« Book giveaway, part 4.1, for the kitty lovers | Event Postponed »

2008.09.26

We have winners already!

Congratulations to faithful blog reader Deborah, who won the two humorous books about dogs, and to Michelle, who claimed the book about raising a happy cat.

Well, as happy as you can reasonably expect a cat to be, anyway. Disdain is their default setting, after all. That's what I admire and love about kitties; their cynicism is all wrapped up in purrs and delivered with just enough leg rubbings to make you keep trying to please them.

Thanks to everyone for playing along this week. Stay tuned for more contests and giveaways, if you can try to make it out to the dog park fundraiser tomorrow, and have a great weekend!

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.
