CAN YOU HELP ME GET HOME ? I MISS MY FAMILY . . . (sorry, I'm sleepy and warm, my eyes are closed because I'm resting and dreaming while I wait for my family to find me) READ LOST CAT'S STORY at this link He's about 12 or 13 years old, chipped and we've called Kaiserslautern, Germany where he was chipped, but we can't trace him back to his owner! Do you know who he belongs to? Can you help him by fostering or adopting him? Please help - call the shelter at 636-583-4300 after 11 AM. Howdy there, my name is Cooper and I am a 1 year old Coonhound who got lost and brought here hoping my owners would look for me. Well, no one has come to claim me and I would be more than happy to lay around on your porch on warm sunny days and evenings while we sit and just listen to the wonderful night sounds. I will bay at the moon if you want me to, otherwise I will be as quiet as I can be. I am great with other dogs and I am great to look at, I have nice sorrowful eyes, lots of pretty freckles and cute droopy ears that flap while I run through the fields. I know I can be a good friend if only given the chance, so do you know anyone who would want me? I am waiting with bated breath, yours truly, Cooper Hi! I'm named after Stevie Nicks. She is fabulous, and so am I. I have beautiful coloring, and a personality to match. Gosh darn it, why has no one come to adopt me? I get along great with other cats, too. I love to be held and petted. Here in the shelter, I lie in my bed for hours, and I see many people go by. I always hope I will be the one they stop to meet. I am up to date with routine shots, am house trained and spayed. Please come and see me at the shelter in Kitty City. It won't hurt my feelings if you look at the other cats, but just do NOT forget to meet me! Love, Stevie Please listen for us the first Wednesday of the month on KLPW, Talk Radio, 1220 AM for Shelter Talk at 8:35 AM with Diane Jones and Vet Tech, Mary Lenau.	Check Petfinder NOW to see our adoptable pets - they're all waiting for loving homes... *maybe yours, or maybe someone you know?* If you care about homeless, stray or "dumped" animals in Franklin County, please see "Animal Issues in Franklin County," on the left. WE NEED YOUR HELP! ATTENTION ST. LOUIS AREA CAT LOVERS We are so successful in placing our adult cats at the Sunset Hills and Arnold PetSmart stores, we can hardly keep up with the demand! Please help with something really positive - because most of us live in Franklin County, we DESPERATELY NEED some West and Southwest St. Louis area helpers who could, one or two days a week, clean our kitty cages and dishes, socialize and play with our cats at the same time. You say when and how often. If you could help, you'd be part of something REALLY POSITIVE and we promise, REALLY REWARDING. YOU can make a huge difference for these cats - help save lives and help our kitties into new, loving homes, and be part of the solution to pet over-population. To find out more or help, call Janie at the shelter at (636) 744-6339 or Janie@franklincountyhumanesociety.org We are greatly indebted to our volunteers Karen and Janis (and staffer Janie) who, together, work hard to make this program work every day, and donate countless hours to preparing and transporting cats, cleaning cages and adopting our kitties into loving homes! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts, "CatWomen," you are awesome! A big thank you too, to Dr. Webster and her staff at Pet Station in Union (636) 583-2858, for keeping up with our many spay/neuter surgeries for these cats almost every day. IF YOU LOVE DOGS AND HAVE LOVE TO SHARE but no more room at your home - please come be part of the care of our wonderful kennel dogs while they wait for a forever home - we need DOG WALKERS, someone to PLAY WITH THEM in our new sheltered playyard, and reinforce their positive social skills! Many of our dogs are house-trained and need to walk to reinforce these proper skills. You don't have to take anyone home - instead, help them get adopted by donating a couple of hours a week. Or go the extra mile and VOLUNTEER TO GO WITH US or MEET US at select PetSmart Stores in the St. Louis area a few Saturdays - with a team of experienced volunteers, you can help them get adopted and make a HUGE DIFFERENCE IN A LONELY DOG'S LIFE! We're not so far away - only 20 minutes from West St. Louis County - come help! Call Mary at (636) 584-3304 howdy@charter.net or Janie at (636) 744-6339 Janie@franklincountyhumanesociety.org to volunteer to help homeless dogs and puppies find a loving home. We promise a very rewarding experience.... and you don't have to take another dog home! Mission accomplished! Volunteer Orientation and Training is held every first Sunday of each month from 2pm to 4pm at the shelter, 1222 W. Main Street in Union, Missouri, across from the Union High School. All volunteers 16 and over are needed and welcome! If you want to help, just come, or call Janie at (636) 744-6339 for more information. PLEASE use: http://www.isearchigive.com/FCHS-MO for your Internet shopping, and pick up a Schnucks Escrip card at a Schnucks Store or at our shelter to donate to the animals at Franklin County Humane Society, Union, Missouri, (Our group ID number is #500022033) so you can help the homeless animals at no additional cost to you!
	Our Holiday Giving Trees like this one at Home Creations were a huge success! If you were able to donate WISH LIST supplies at one of our trees like this one, or those at Hillermann's Nursery and also at some local banks, WE THANK YOU! In the picture to the left, one of our local Girl Scout Daisy Troops stands before the Home Creations tree they decorated for us. Thank you, DAISIES!
