Hi Fosters and Volunteers and Volunteers who Might Be
Fosters Soon,
Hope everything is well with you! If you haven’t heard, we
have lots and lots of dogs and puppies who need foster homes. If you’ve
thought about fostering in the past, this is a great time. If you know anyone
who might want to foster a dog or puppy, send them this way- we’re very
welcoming! We’ve got small adult dogs and medium/large breed puppies, and
foster-to-adopt is a-ok with those guys. Spreading the word is also a great
help: we have an ad
on Craigslist that’s an easy way to get the word out.
This is also a great time to adopt a kitten- it’s
that time of the summer when kitten adoptions slow down. All of you have done a
great job fattening up these kittens and socializing them, now we need to
remind people that the kittens are out there. Tell your friends to check out
our website, visit our petfinder or “like” us
on Facebook.
Spreading the word takes just a minute but is an enormous
help and we really appreciate it. Another thing that doesn’t take too long (and
tastes good!) is eating pizza! Tomorrow (July 25th) is our
first FUNdraiser with California Pizza Kitchen. You and your friends
(and acquaintances) can print out and bring in this
ad to the California Pizza Kitchen in Emeryville on Bay Street and eat away. For every diner
that brings in the ad, Hopalong gets 20% of the check! (Make sure and say “hi”
to the Hopalong volunteers while you’re there!)
After you eat at CPK, you might want to burn off some of the
cheese and dessert: We’re moving stuff across the parking lot from our storage
unit to our office on Saturday, July 27th and really need
some help. We got very short notice about this move
and there is a LOT of it. If you’ve got an
hour to spare, we’d love if you could move a load or two!
A quick thank you to the people who have brought in dry
kitten food- the kittens have already eaten it and say thank you! We asked them
to slow down, but they’re still asking for more! Sheesh! Also, thank you to the
great volunteers who came in on Saturday to learn how to screen prospective dog
adopters. This promises to be a giant help. More classes in the works! As
always, opportunities
on the blog including a bunch of
drives. Also coming soon, our first volunteer & foster social- I have a
meeting tomorrow with a potential host. Yay!
Thank you, all, for everything.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Lauren
