SPCA Weekly Newsletter


SPECIAL PLEA

Things are pretty bleak lately regarding adoptions and foster homes. We know there are a number of our friends and supporters who leave for the low season and we find ourselves in dire straits right now.
We have at least six dogs that have been with us for a while now and we are up to 16 cats at the last count. We are asking that everyone please pass the word to friends who may not be privy to our newsletter or press releases. There just must be folks out there looking for a companion animal to adopt or can foster for a period of time until a permanent home is found.
Please, please contact us if you or anyone you know can assist us in taking care of these wonderful animals that just deserve a chance. If you can assist, please contact us via our website (www.spcapv.com) or send an email to spcapv@gmail.com.


ADORABLE DOG SPOTLIGHT...Honey


Is she not the cutest? Honey is a female about a year old and weighs 18 kilos. She was rescued from the new Wal-Mart parking lot where she was living after giving birth to her first litter of six puppies. All the puppies have found homes and now it is her turn.
Peggy, who fostered Honey, tells us: “She was a good caregiver to the puppies and is a delightful, lively dog. She was not very good on the leash at first, but with some work she now loves walking and is very good on the leash. She loves attention and to cuddle and is a kind, gentle dog. She is good with kids and cats.”


ADORABLE CATS IN THE SPOTLIGHT

There are so many beautiful, loving cats looking for homes. It’s impossible to choose just one to spotlight. We have a number of felines of all ages looking for forever homes. They are currently being cared for by a few of our dedicated volunteers and brought to the library each Saturday. Hopefully one of these photos will give you pause and motivate you to give him/her a loving home.
There are a number of advantages when adopting a young adult cat versus a kitten. Although still playful, a young cat is less likely to get underfoot as a kitten. They are healthy, having been spayed/neutered and vaccinated. At this age they are housebroken, i.e. litter trained, socialized and less likely to get into “trouble”.
Also importantly, you will know your cat’s basic personality, his likes and dislikes. (Believe me, he’ll let you know.) Bonding continues to be important, and your continued good care will strengthen your cat’s trust in you, which is vital to your relationship.
To see all the animals available for adoption, visit our website (www.spcapv.com or
www.spcapv.blogspot.com). The SPCA PV will continue to host adoption events at Biblioteca Los Mangos every Saturday from 10am - 2pm. Biblioteca Los Mangos is located on Francisco Villa around the corner from Costco.


ADOPTION REPORT
There were seven dogs and eleven cats at the library this weekend available for adoption. We were fortunate to find forever homes for two cats (Max and Puss Puss).

Special thanks to our dedicated volunteers who brave the hot, humid temperatures each Saturday. This week’s volunteers were Gina, Natalia, Lily, Fernando, John and Shanon ( new volunteer ). As always we are grateful to Sandra for her photos and continued dedication, as well as our volunteer extraordinaire Luz.


WEBMASTER NEEDED

Kevin Harney who has been updating our website for some time cannot do it anymore. We are looking for anyone who can take over this responsibility. If you have the skill set necessary, and would consider donating time to our organization, please contact Janice Chatterton (Janice@haciendasanangel.com) or email us at spcapv@gmail.com.

And thank you Kevin for all your past efforts.
