Dog and Cat of the week on Kids Adopt A Shelter!

So after my last visit to Little shelter, we created our video tour of Little Shelter.
See Video here:
YOU TUBE VIDEO TOUR HERE

On the way home, I was brainstorming, which seems to be when I come up with ideas... After I spend time with the animals... I think of new ways to help them.. I decided that Kids Adopt A Shelter sees so many animals each day that people never really get to know and see them ... as there are so many how do you read each story?
Sooooo I decided each week I will pick on Thursdays one dog story and one cat story to be featured on my page ALL week... I will post their story all week long... Asking my fans to SHARE and cross post that story from Friday - the following Thursday of each week. I want people to see the story, share the story.. I may not be able to save every dog and cat that goes flying by my page BUT I can make an extra effort for a special dog and cat each week and HOPE by my giving them a week of attention that they get adopted!!!

So how do you get your story featured?
Email me kidsadoptashelter@gmail.com --
The story and Why your dog /cat or litter should be featured... Id like to feature dogs and cats that NEED a home.. but if you know a remarkable dog or cat that NEEDS to be featured well send me the story!

Do you know a kid who is out there making a difference? I want to hear those stories too... and Id like to share them as well!

This weeks Dog and Cats are:
NATE - On March 3rd 2011 Nate was rescued by our Animal Cruelty officer for extreme neglect. He immediately won over the staff and volunteers with his sweet personality and his enthusiasm for life. He did not let his horrible beginning in life sour his outlook on people. He greets all people as a friend. Nate and I work together every day on basic manners. He knows sit, down, paw, leave it, and heel. He loves nothing more than playing fetch. I have taken him on several field trips to the beach and my house, he loves it and is very well behaved. Nate would do best as an only dog or I would have adopted him myself. He is a blue pitbull, about 2 years old, neutered, UTD on vaccines, and microchipped. He is a fabulous dog who has waited over a year for a home. He is available through the Delaware SPCA, Georgetown shelter

National Spring Drive

JOIN ME HERE FOR INFO - UPDATES AND SHARING DOCS FOR FLYERS ETC

I started my misson to help all of the homeless dogs and cats in Little Shelter. My aunt Jessy works there so I know my hard work will get right into the paws of these loving cats and dogs who are sitting there waiting for someone to come take them home. Many of these dogs and cats are rescues from town shelters that are about to get put to sleep since they are either unwanted, however ALL of these dogs and cats are adoptable!! and Little Shelter went in to save them before they were put to sleep due to the lack of homes out there...

After my Christmas drive, I felt I could do even better so I created -

https://www.facebook.com/KidsAdoptaShelter

I plan to help dogs and cats around the world, by getting people to stop throwing things out, and RECYCLING to benefit the homeless dogs and cats!!! and of course ask my friends and families to dig into their wallets to buy some things they need also.. but thats not a requirement... Simple things that you can find around your home can HELP!!!


SO:

Spring cleaning is coming and your cleaning out your houses for NEW stuff and emptying closets etc.....PLEASE THE DOGS and CATS need TONS of stuff..... This Shelter goes out and rescues Thousands of Cats and Dogs Puppies and Kittens every year and THIS time of the year IT IS THE HARDEST to get DONATIONS!!!

Please SHARE THIS EVENT - we are taking in and out of state items - YOU CAN SHIP to us!!! email us at kidsadoptashelter@gmail.com for the addy... OR we will HAVE PICK UP Days and come PICK UP from you Or you can DROP off at anytime! We will be accepting and sorting things by category so we don't overwhelm Little Shelter!!! Pics of stuff that comes in will be shared!!!

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Little-Shelter-Animal-Rescue-Adoption-Center/77328904971

PLEASE do not just start DROPPING stuff at the Shelter!!! It will cause chaos and they will become overwhelmed.

SO WE ARE ASKING FOR THE FOLLOWING ITEMS (USED OR NEW)...
Sheets (FLAT)
Towels (all Sizes)
DOG/CAT Toys (no holes)
Dog or Cat treats!
Dog or Cat CANNED food!
blankets
comforters
Crates/carriers/cages
LEashes!!! Collars!!!
Anything and everything Dog and cat!
Any monetary donations - can be sent to my paypal and sean will go and shop for items the animals need

My Little Shelter Volunteering Training Begins !!! YAY!

I AM SO SO SO SO SO HAPPY!!!!! 

Today I got the call from LITTLE SHELTER ' Volunteer Trainer ~ Bob!!! Remember when I said back a few days ago that they made me an honorary Volunteer? WELL... He called today to set up my appointment for my Volunteer Training!!! 

I will get to help out in the CATTERY, and of course anything else they need while I am there BUT, Arleen (manager) said I was a natural with the kitties... SO She asked me If I would want to learn how to HELP socialize the cats, as Madelyn one of the cats who usually is not very friendly TOOK to me RIGHT away!! So she saw how much the Kitties LOVED Me, and of course I love them!! I get to learn how to socialize them and teach them how to LOVE kids!!! Soooooo I will be the HANDS on kid who shows them that kids are there to love them and so they will hopefully see kids and run up to them and I HOPE I help them find homes easier.. Since the cattery has 398 cats and at this point probably more, I am so happy to be able to show cats that kids can love them!!

I can't wait!!! Saturday from 2-5 I'll be in training!!! and then I'll be able to go to Little shelter to volunteer ANYTIME I want...Ohhhh Moooooooom.... you know I want to be there like any day I am free right?

Well... thats my day today... Lots and LOTS of amazing news!!! Oh yea and come on Kids..... Adopt a shelter.... and Parents Represent a State!!! I need you!!!

Little Shelter and me 12/23/11 ~ One of the BEST days of my life!

After 2 months of collecting items such as towels, sheets, food, toys, treats, clothes and more.... I finally made my delivery to Little Shelter.... I am vowing to take my mission all over the world!

Arleen the owner is an amazing lady and I am so appreciative of being able to spend some time with her... she gave me a tour of the Cattery, which houses 398 cats! I was stalked by a few cats who I was able to give some love to while I was there... she took me to visit some new puppies who are not ready for adoption yet, they are brand new at Little Shelter, they are So fluffy and cute... I got to meet all of the dogs who currently are hoping to be adopted! I saw many of the donations I collected put to use! Each staff member came and took things they needed and the stuff that they had left over went into their pantry which will get shared with other shelters!!!

I became an honorary volunteer... I am now working with my brother Zac to make some Public Service Announcements and also videos to TEACH kids all over the country HOW to do a good thing locally.... SO step 1... gather up some recruits!!!!

:)
