Happy New Year!!!

Cuddle with your new best friend. What better way is there to start a new year than to cuddle with your pet? No pet? Douglas Animal Shelter has just the one you're looking for. Holidays are stressful, a pet can be an incredible source of comfort and warmth. Unconditional love, the more you give, the more you get back. Your blood pressure will drop, your endorphins will increase and mood lifting serotonin will be released in your brain. And your pet will not complain about your bad breath. Happy New Year all!!!

Hi. thank you to all the shelter staff and volunteers for a really great lunchtime feast to celebrate Christmas! Of course I was not invited because I am a dog. However....my alter ego was there and really "chowed" down. I heard all about the food and I am still salivating, (that means drooling) but it was not meant to be, for me, Fluffy. So I will have to be content with my kibble and water. YUK!! Maybe in my next life I can return as a human and really eat well. Merry Christmas all, in case I don't get a chance before Friday. Bye, Fluffy

Hi everyone, thought you would like to see Danny, now Ridley, playing in the snow in his backyard at Tahoe. Lucky Ridley, he was adopted by a great couple back in early October. If only all the dogs and cats in the shelter could have homes like this where they are loved and cared for, life would be great! Gotta run, see ya, Fluffy.

I've been away for awhile, but I'm back and rarin' to go. Santa needed some help from me so I introduced him to a good friend of mine. This is what she looked like after Santa said he may need her to take Rudolph's place on Christmas eve. Rudy's been a little under the weather and he may not be able to guide the sleigh. Well I have to go and settle her down, see ya, Fluffy

Psst......Hi....
My name is Scotty. I am a very nice older fellow.
I like walking on a leash, have had all my shots, am
neutered (blush), and have a cool micro-chip
so I can't get lost! But I need a home. Got one?

Hi everyone. DAWG had a fantastic Christmas party last night. Of course no dogs were allowed, so I had to be content to watch from the outside porch, Good thing I had on my fur coat, it was cold. I just drooled when the dishes of food were being brought in. You know dogs have a very keen sense of smell and everyone was especially careful not to spill anything. Maybe there will be some leftovers, I hope, I hope! Everybody was talking and laughing and EATING and warm. But I'm not complaining. It was also a serious meeting, new officers were named and that's a good thing. That means DAWG will be around for another year to make sure all my friends at the shelter will not be forgotten and I know DAWG will find them wonderful homes and take care of their medical needs. Good luck to all the new officers and thank you so very much to the ones leaving. You did a wonderful job in 2009! Woof, woof, woof and purr, purr purr!!!
