Howdy fosters and volunteers!
This is it, the last
weekly email before Christmas, which will hopefully be a relaxing time for you!
First, please note that the office will be closed
December 22-29 (ie all of next week, Sunday-Sunday). Fosters, Sam and Erica
will be checking in with you about what to do if you need them while the office
is closed. Volunteers: if you have shifts at the office, we will NOT be here.
If you have shifts elsewhere (PetCo or PetSmart), please call the pet store
ahead of time to see if there are kittens at the store before heading over.
We’ll be back on Monday, the 30th and Tuesday the 31st
and closed again on the 1st. Please let me know if you have any
questions before I turn into a pumpkin (read: Friday!)
Second, we have had a pretty rad December. Santa Paws
has been great. Lots of cool visitors and photos- impromptu kid pictures, some
crazy shenanigans in Pinole, and just general merriment. Thank you to all the
volunteers and in advance to those taking on the mayhem this Saturday and
Sunday! Many animals have also been adopted this month, which is unusual
for December- and WONDERFUL! Over 30 kittens have already been adopted this
month, and it’s only the 18th! Ramona (the dog) was adopted in
Idaho, Peter decided his foster home was actually his forever home, and 3
chihuahua/pug mixes (chugs?!) found homes on Monday.
Mostly, thank you so much for being part of the Hopalong
Team: have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! It’s really a pleasure to
work with all of you, and if the animals could talk, I know they would say the
same thing.
Best,
