Good Afternoon Volunteers, Fosters and Other Dear Readers,
It is that time- Maddie’s Adoptathon! If you haven’t participated before, this is a Bay Area wide event: adoptions are free to qualified homes in order to give more shelter animals a second chance.
We will have tons of animals for adoption and rely on volunteers to make this event a success (it always is!). So, if you are free June 1 and/or 2nd, please let me know now! We’ll have all kinds of positions available- we’ll figure out what’s a good match for your interests! The event takes place at Bay Street in Emeryville and runs all day, both days. If you can only come part of the day, that’s fine, too!
Okay. These guys are adorable, right? There are five of these lab mixes, they’re 3 months old, they’re arriving on Friday, and they’re looking for foster! We really don’t want to board them- what puppy wants to go into boarding?- so if you’ve got space for even one of them, even for the weekend (but we bet you’ll end up loving them for longer), please let Erica know (Erica@hopalong.org)
Marilyn (the boy cat) got adopted this week! And special thanks to Clarissa and Danielle for their hard work on our flyering project. Save the date: May 18th is our flyering blitz. I provide the coffee and donuts, you provide the footwork- getting flyers out in your neighborhood!
Thanks everyone. As always, there are tons of opportunities to help on the current opportunities page on the blog and if you’re the crafty type, I’ve added some DIY projectsas well. And we always, always need kitten food!
Thanks guys, this has really been a successful week!
