We have a lot of happy things to share with our readers today!
First of all, Charlie, an English Springer Spaniel mix, who was so unhappy in his kennel went to his new home today! He was one of those dogs that looked so pitiful in his kennel, but outside of his kennel he was a total firecracker. He has a great personality, and he is so handsome. I am glad that he has found his forever home.
Trace, a long-term feline resident also went home today. My heart always goes out to the cats here, there are so many people surrendering cats, and so few people adopting them. Trace won his lottery today, and he has a great new family to call his own. I hope the other 40 cats we have here can get just as lucky!
We have a few great events coming up that we hope you can come to. First is the Barkitecture event hosted by Vetter Denk. On Thursday, October 23rd they are having a party to help EBHS raise funds, and to show off their amazing homes in downtown Milwaukee. My two passions are animals and architecture, so I will be there checking out their Bluff Homes, and supporting my beloved shelter.
On Saturday, October 25th we have two great events happening. For rabbit lovers, we are having a rabbit training class called Rabbitopia II...the Training Begins. There will be two classes, one at 11:30am and one at 1:30pm. These classes will teach rabbit lovers great ways to help reinforce the positive behaviors in their rabbits, and then discourage unacceptable ones. You can call the shelter to sign up for either class at 262-782-9261. Crated rabbits are welcome for nail trims and gland cleaning.
Also on Saturday, October 25th, EBHS is taking part in Harvest Fest at the Village Court Shopping Center in Elm Grove. There is going to be free pumpkin decorating for kids, a kids costume contest, and an animal costume contest, cart rides, food, music, treats and raffles to enjoy. It will be a great way to spend the day, with your children, and your dog! The event is from 10am - 3pm. We hope to see you down there!
The M&I Bank Employees Association came in today with one of those giant checks (which I totally love! It makes you feel like Ed McMahon just showed up!) and made a donation to EBHS from the employees at the local M&I Banks. I want to give them all a big shout out and thank them for their generosity. With the economy the way it is, we need all the financial help we can get! Christmas in October courtesy of M & I Bank! Thanks to all of the M&I employees for their generosity and kindness!
Also, have to mention our good friends at Elite Electric. Gerry, the owner, came to the rescue of the shelter and did some electrical repairs that we needed done and donated his time and materials. He has definitely confirmed his awesomeness to me through his always professional work, and his generosity! Turns out he is an animal lover too! Thanks to Gerry and Elite Electric (located in Milwaukee).
The front office cat - who is adoptable - has decided that my office is the best place to hang out. He sits in my window, and since there is 23 pounds of him, he rolls around knocking things all over the place. He is so funny when he sleeps, and everyone that walks past my window on the way into the shelter laughs as they walk by, but unfortunately, no one has applied to adopt him yet. If you would like a big chunk of cat to call your own, come in and visit Louie. He is polydactyl too, so he has too much body and too many toes. He is a big gray meatball. You will love him!
