Where can you savor a really fine glass of wine? Maybe on the grounds of an Italian vintner in Tuscany at sunset as you listen to Bocelli sing II mare calmo della sera -- Maybe.
Or maybe it is much closer, in Washington, where the bouquet in each glass arises from the knowlege that you are drinking the wine in support of a cause you really believe in. Now, that wine tastes like the best in the wine cellar, and you are drinking it with friends who share your passion for helping homeless animals. Friends, Wine, Whiskers & Wags is just around the corner! Join in the fun this year!
Fine wines will be featured for tasting at the event. Hors d'oeuvres will be served and a silent and live auction will be held with many wonderful items to bid upon including professional sports tickets, gift baskets, art, restaurant gift certificates, and more. For more information and tickets, contact Ron Foan now (636) 583-8646. Last year we hosted 180 partiers. You don't want to miss this chance.
Hi there! When I came to the shelter in May, I was pretty icky looking; my fur was dirty and matted and I was very afraid. Since then, I now have a wonderful hairdresser, Susan Raab, and I'm all prettied up and not afraid anymore. Now I need a home. I am a little guy, about 20 pounds, 5 years old and a really nice fellow. I like other dogs and would do best with older children. It gets pretty hard to take when I see all of the other dogs and puppies getting adopted, and I get left behind. Let everyone know I waiting. I need a faithful friend to adopt me. Love and kisses, Nigel
 We three little kittens who have lost our mittens! We are quite the little characters, though, just look at us in our little beds! We are all the picture of perfect little angels, when we are sleeping, at least. Ha ha!
We almost forgot to tell you the news! The prices of cats and kittens has been reduced! How much better could it get -- an assortment of adorable fun-filled, furry friends and save money, too! Come now! We can't wait to show you how wonderful we are! -- The no mitten kittens
Hi, my name is Blake. I am a really sweet young fella. Sadly, I have been waiting for adoption, and it looks like I have to keep on waiting.
I am a good boy, only about 5-months-old, and I love to play with any dog. I will learn more as I grow up into a very nice 50 pound fun-filled companion. I am a very good looking guy with lots of pretty colors; black, reddish brown, and white.
I am sure that if I get adopted that my new parent and I will be happy. I know how to have fun and I can be a constant reminder of how important it is to smile. Please come and get me, Blake
It’s summer time, and the lure of the mountains, rivers and beaches is nigh onto irresistible. So many of us go off to camps -- with our dogs! More . . .
 I am Kellog, a healthy teenage boy. My sleek, shining gray stripes show I have been eating my breakfast cereal like a growing boy should.
I'm inquisitive and always peeking around the corner to see what surprises might lurk on the other side. You never know when a special person may be coming to adopt a special cat. Ha! A special cat eating Special K. Get it? Am I a jokester or what! Think what fun we could have. I would run around doing funny antics, and you would watch me and laugh real hard. After the fun we could curl up together and have a nice cat nap. Sound like fun? Please come see me so we can begin a life of love and laughter. Purrs and soft mews to you, Kellogg
 I (Princess), am a petite 1-year-old light orange tabby girl, sleek and slender. I love to look at life with my large, inquisitive eyes. I also have this cute way of standing on my tiptoes when someone pets me. I just love it when people pet me.
I'd like a home with nooks and crannies to explore and, of course, several comfy places to sleep on and lots of petting. I'll be a fun and exciting little cat to have, and I will brighten up your life. Please, let's share our lives together. Purrs and rubs, Princess
 Greetings! We are Oreo and Bobbie, two among many cute kittens all lined up waiting for homes. Do you already have a cat? We are used to lining with lots of cats and kittens. Toys, lots of soft cuddle beds and lots and lots of cuddling and playtime are what we crave from you. We'd be treasures at then times the price, BUT to pique your interest, our adoption fee has been reduced AND if you adopt 2 of us, the second cat or kitten is half price! How cool that the fee includes our spay or neuter, shots, leukemia test, flea treatment, deworming and microchipping. Don't you think we are the best looking? And our personalities match. Your hearts and home will be filled with happiness and love if you adopt one of us. Lots of purrs await you! -- Bobbie and Oreo
Heat exhaustion can cause the loss of a pet. Dark-coated dogs, heavy-coated or double coated dogs, short-muzzled dogs, obese, elderly and very young dogs are all at higher risk of heat exhaustion. Plan your dog's exertion for cooler times and in shady places. Keep him off of hot asphalt, out of prolonged direct sun and supplied with plenty of fresh, cool water. Look for signs of heat exhaustion like very heavy panting, rapid heart beat, profuse, thick drool, discolored gums and desperate, wild-eyed expressions indicate distress requiring immediate attention. A cool pool, a running hose, and breeses or a fan may help prevent brain damage, kidney or liver damage, and even death. Do not use ice water because it may close surface capillaries and prevent necessary dissipation of heat. Once cooling is underway, seek a vet's attention immediately.
