Phoenix Interact Club - The biggest thank you to this wonderful group of young adults for their hard work and raising monies for the shelter. They came to the Shelter for a tour and here is what they had to say:

Good evening, Renee! Thanks for a wonderful tour & detailed explanation of the important activities that the Shelter is involved in.

For your records, the Phoenix Interact Club operates at Peninsula Shores District School in Wiarton (South Bruce Peninsula) & has a membership of 17. They participate in fundraising activities that make it possible for them to donate to organizations like the Owen Sound Animal Shelter. They also participate in some "hands on" projects. It is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Wiarton. Regards, Mike Mason, Rotary Advisor for the Phoenix Interact Club.

Donations are especially needed right now as we are full to the roof and needing help in reducing those numbers. Remember, only with adoptions we can see space made, and only with vet care being done do we see adoptions. We appreciate your help

The shelter is struggling more now than ever before, with more homeless and fewer adoptions.
The poor economy hits rescues the hardest. We need your help more than ever.

Cleo - One of our adoptors writes: "Thank you for the lovely well behaved "junior mint". We like her a lot and she is winning over our other cat with her amazing social skills.

I have decided to call her Cleo for her beauty. She is enjoying being outside under supervision and exploring her new home. She is purring lots and giving lots of kitty kisses. You did a great job in keeping her healthy and happy. Many thanks. Marcia E.
