WONDERFUL
ANIMALS WAITING FOR HOMES
MEET YOUR MATCH AT SPOKANIMAL C.A.R.E.! What
is "Felineality"?
Pawsitive
Start New Adopters Class
Helping
you and your new friend get started on the right paw!
Held on the second and fourth Sunday of the month - 1:00-2:30PM
The
first few days and weeks after adopting a new dog
can be a challenge, even for the most experienced
pet owner. To help ease the transition of adding a
dog to the household, SpokAnimal provides adopters
a resource to get off on the right paw. Pawsitive
Start, held on the second and fourth Sunday of the
month, is a free class open to all families who have
recently adopted a dog from SpokAnimal, the Spokane
Humane Society or SCRAPS.
The
goal of Pawsitive Start is to provide you, the new
dog owner, with the skills and knowledge to be the
leader your new friend needs. Classes start January
10, 2010 and will be held the second and fourth Sunday
of the month from 1:00-2:30 in the SpokAnimal Event
Center, located across the alley from the main shelter.
Please bring your dog on a flat buckle collar, fit
so he or she cannot slip out of it, and a 4 to 6 foot
leather, cotton, or nylon leash (please no chain or
retractable leashes). Also, bring a baggie full of
soft treats such as chicken and hot dogs, cut in to
small pea-sized bits. There is no fee for this class,
however, donations are welcomed to help cover cost
of supplies and materials for class.
Please
mark your donations "Pawsitive Start" if you would
like to contribute to this great new program! Classes
will be instructed by Kim Imel, LVT and Amy Barker,
who are experienced instructors who teach at Diamonds
in the Ruff.
Adoptable
animals at SpokAnimal are evaluated by trained staff
using the ASPCA®’s Meet Your Match™
(MYM)—a
unique program that seeks to increase adoption rates
and decrease return rates in shelters across the country,
by assessing the “Canine-ality™” and “Puppy-ality™”
of adoptable dogs and puppies, as well as the “Feline-ality™”
of adoptable cats, and matching them with their perfect
pet parents. Created by Dr. Emily Weiss.
We are pleased to announce that
we have been accepted as a
One Hope Network shelter partner.

Spay
Washington is a statewide referral network for low cost spay/neuter
services. Participating veterinarians or clinics lower their prices
an average of 15-50% for our clients. Many people in Washington
are unable to afford to spay or neuter their pets, even though they
want to do the right thing for their pets and their communities.
Please, help us reduce the euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals
by assisting pet owners throughout the state by donating to Spay
Washington today. Angela
Scheres, Program Director.
