BowWow Meowl'OWeen

Trick-or-treat is not typically a two-way transaction. Or maybe it is. I guess you do give treats as sort of blackmail payoff to prevent being tricked. Any old hoo, the usual process involves one party giving and the other party getting the goods.

Until now.

Bring edible goodies for homeless pets to the Franklin County Humane Society Planned Pethood Clinic and Adoption Center this weekend and you will get a few tasty treats yourself.

The Bow Wow Meowl'oween party start Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. and continues Saturday from 10 to 2 p.m.

The shelter is asking for Purina Chow for cats, kittens, dogs and puppies, and all manner of kitty- and pooch-palatable treats, or donations of cash.

Refreshments will be served and prizes will be awarded for the top fundraiser.

And while you are there, take a few minutes to say hello to the adoptable pets waiting for their forever families.

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.
