May, 2013: Our annual "Bowl For The Animals" and our "Dine & Donate" event held at Lonestar restaurant were both well-attended and helped us to raise much needed funds for animals in the Jackson area. We thank everyone who participated and/or volunteered to help make these events successful.
Februrary 19, 2013: Many thanks to Tom Adler, owner of Key Largo Lounge (1896 Horton Rd., Jackson) for donating a very generous sum of $200 to our non-profit organization. They recently held a soup-tasting event at their establishment with donations made to help needy animals in the Jackson area. Not only did their customers enjoy a large variety of delicious homemade soups, but thanks to Tom's event, many animals will now benefit from their donations. Thank you Tom and everyone at Key Largo Lounge for caring so much about the animals!

December, 2012:
We are proud to announce our "Pets for Veteran's" Event !!
During the week of December 12th through the 19th we are having a special event for US Veteran's to help them find a new pet to adopt and love. UPDATE: Due to the overwhelming response of recent adoptions at the shelter, we have extended this offer. It has come to our attention that the dog kennels have a smaller selection now than usual and some veteran's have come in and not found the perfect match they were looking for on that particular day. If you are a qualified veteran and visit the shelter and do not complete an adoption, you can ask the staff for a voucher. Our voucher will be good for 30 days from issue, not to exceed January, 23, 2013. (This voucher is valid only while the funds allocated for this program are available.) You are welcome to visit the shelter as many times as you like while you look for your ideal pet to take home!
We have set up a partnership with the Jackson County Animal Shelter (on Spring Arbor Rd., across from Lumen Christi High School). During the designated dates we will pay for pet adoptions for those who have served our country. We have set aside a fund of $3,000 to pay for these adoptions at the Jackson, MI shelter. To qualify, all they need to do is show a photo ID as well as a copy of their DD214 discharge papers or a Jackson County Veteran's ID card. We will pay their adoption and license fees for one dog or up to two cats per veteran during this special week, or until our funding runs out.
We are pleased that we can show our local heroes how much we appreciate their service to our country while helping deserving shelter animals to find a loving home at the same time. Everyone deserves a best friend and we hope to make this happen for many veteran's as well as homeless animals during our "Pets For Veteran's" Event. Check back after the event dates to find out how many animals found loving homes!
The photo below (left) of the happy family was taken the first day of our Pets For Veterans event. Congratulations to our first veteran on his selection of their new furry one! The next photo is of Oliver. He came to the shelter a while ago, heartworm positive, and had been treated thanks to our donation for medicines at the shelter. He too was a lucky doggie on the very first day of the event. Oliver, now named Duce, was able to go home with his new "dad", another veteran who benefited from our program. Duce can be seen with his new family, Wes and Rick Wheeler, in the third photo. And last but not least, John and Nancy Koker welcome their new pal "Radar" to their family. These are just a few of our many success stories from our Pets For Veterans event.
UPDATE: We are pleased to announce that at the conclusion of our event, seven dogs and four cats were adopted into loving homes by local veteran's. We are thrilled that we were able to be a part of matching these deserving veteran's with a new best friend. We wish them all much happiness together!
