Sept 22: Walmart Adoption Event, Dog Dayz event, Rabies Clinic, Microchip Clinic, and more!

September 17, 2012 By

This coming Saturday will be another busy one for JCAPL.

Along with the normal adoption at PetSmart, we will also being doing an adoption event at Walmart on Hwy 70 in Clayton, and a Rabies Vaccine clinic for DOGS ONLY courtesy of Dr. Sara Lash with Healthy Pets Mobile Vet.  The Walmart Adoption event is another chance to get the animals seen by a different crowd of people.  The last event at Walmart we only had kittens present and we adopted out half of those that came!

If you do not have a foster and can come assist with the rabies clinic, please let me know.

Shane Gentry with Sally Said So Professional Dog Training will also be hosting the Dog Dayz event across the street from Walmart on Saturday.  He will be having a micro chip clinic , Ernie from the shelter and a Nationwide Insurance rep will be there discussing the ins and outs of what happens when a dog bites, all the way up to what does your insurance cover.

He will also be giving some tips on dog training and have information on his upcoming classes, bounce house for the kids, free nail trim and other fun and informational “stuff”. Any donations will benefit JCAPL!  More info here>>

Just a reminder, we do have our monthly JCAPL meeting on Wed., Sept. 19 at Rainbow Lanes in Clayton at 6:30.  Hope to see you there!

Thanks for EVERYTHING that you do, or have done, for JCAPL.  Have a fabulous week!

Adopt-a-Thon Weekend Sept 14-16 2012

September 17, 2012 By

JCAPL had an AWESOME weekend.  Between tons of adoptions at PetSmart and lots of new contacts and volunteer apps handed out on Saturday at the Harvest Festival, I for one think JCAPL had one of the best weekends in a long time!

Thank you to all of those that came out to either location over the weekend.

Here are some photos of this past weekend’s Mega Adopt-A-Thon!

Adoption day 9/1/12

September 2, 2012 By

Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday and braved the heat! There were a lot of new faces, and we had a bunch of dogs show up.  It would be wonderful if we could draw this many dogs to every event.

Laverne found a forever home with a wonderful family!

Luna/Indy made her first showing.  She is a sweet, beautiful dog!

The Benson pups made their debut, and drew quite a crowd.  None got adopted at Petsmart, but Otter got an application that looks very promising.

Fantasia, Queenie, and Kimberly came out for the first time.  They are very sweet dogs.  Queenie has an interested family, that is going to return next weekend for a second visit.

Team work really pulled yesterday’s event together!

Thanks to Tracy for transporting Fantasia to CAH.  Thanks to Wendy W. for taking pictures, taking the Angels home, and dropping Shadow off at boarding.  Thanks to Cathy for bringing us crates.  Thanks to Becky/Tracy for coordinating supplies.  And Thanks to Wendy D for transporting supplies to 40/42. If I forgot anyone here it was no intentional, I think we all left with sun stroke.

See you all next weekend,

Heather

Adoption Day 8/25/12

August 26, 2012 By

Yesterday was a rocking day at adoption and we juggled lots of dogs trying to accommodate everyone and get as many dogs into great foster homes as possible.

We finalized 7 adoptions and have moved dogs in that have been waiting for fosters homes.

CONGRATULATIONS TO Angel, Shadow, Emily, Butler, Cinnamon, Sandy, Smokey!!!

A new foster took Cupcake. Wendy D. is taking LiLo (Tri-color Coonhound) today, who has been in a non-foster home, without a fence since being found.

We have a Chihuahua, we may take in and need a foster, but we are waiting on the completion of due diligence after being found, to make sure there is no chip.

Thanks to everyone at adoption yesterday.  We welcome our new fosters and volunteers that came out yesterday!  You all made it an awesome day!  Everyone worked pulling lots of activity together.  We had huge crowds, great help and animals to make us proud.

Adoption day 8/18/12

August 19, 2012 By

Success!  Bella and Mia both found homes today!  Pictures are attached.

There was LOTS of interest in Lucy, and Ringo also got an application that is just needing a vet check. Angel has a family that is interested in her as well.

We did some puppy shuffle, and have fosters for five of our litter.  They will be going out to their homes on Tuesday and Wednesday.  John and I have committed ourselves to an emaciated mommy dog at the shelter to keep her from being put down.  We will be getting her on Wednesday.  If we could find fosters for the other two of this litter we would be able to take in her puppies as well.  So, please let us know if you could foster a puppy.

Thanks to everyone who came out today!

Dog Wash at Wal-Mart a Winner for JCAPL

July 24, 2012 By

Wal-Mart in Clayton proved to be an excellent venue for the JCAPL Dog Wash! We had a great turnout, and were lucky to have the rain hold out until after we closed shop. 

Our awesome team of volunteers serviced 69 dogs on Saturday, and raised $1139!  It was the 2nd biggest Dog Wash event in JCAPL history.    None of this would be possible without the support of our great volunteers and assistance from community sponsors and supporters!  

We had a ton of traffic, and a lot of it came from walk-ins who were there to shop, went home to get their pooch, and came back.  Also several people drove from Smithfield/Goldsboro to come.  They saw it advertised in the Smithfield Herald.

From the 1 early walk-in we had, to the few dogs left at 1:15, we had a steady flow of traffic, and clean and satisfied pups and people :)   There are definitely a few things I learned should be added to my supply prep list — like DONT FORGET TO BRING THE CASH FOR THE CASH BOX!!  (Thanks Meda).

Special thanks to all our volunteers, and all the first-timers!  Meda and Sherri made a wonderful team at the front desk.  Audrey and LeVonda came back to volunteer at their 2nd Dog Wash, and jumped in wherever they could, including running around Wal-Mart to get answers from managers!  It was a pleasure to have all three Jennifers (first-time volunteers), and they made fabulous team members washing, drying, keeping the line moving, and sharing their sunny personalities with us!  Jessica learned a few new skills, and got a work out running around the parking lot gathering our posters.  And, thanks to Marielle for lending us a trailer so we could easily tote all the supplies we needed.  We had a wonderful showing of youth volunteers at this event too!  We could not have done so well without their eagerness and limitless energy. 

Thanks to our training specialist, Shane Gentry of Sally Said So, for being on hand to help with pedicures and provide training tips.  And to Corina Iavarone of Stolen Moments Photography for stopping by to take some beautiful dog wash photos.  Also, thanks to gojoco.com, 4042.com, and the Smithfield Herald for advertising the event.  And of course to the Wal-Mart team for having us at their Clayton location for this spectacular event!

“The sacrifices of time, talent and treasure of our volunteers are endless, but the rewards are priceless.”  -Cathy Adams

 

THANK YOU.

Walmart Smithfield adoption July 8, 2012

July 11, 2012 By

Dear Walmart in Smithfield,

Thank you for the great hospitality at the recent adoption event at your location on July 8!  We would call it a success under any circumstances.

We adopted the following canines:         Bowtie, Mya, Willma, and Pudge. We found foster homes for Priss and Squiggles.

We did not adopt any kittens out, but we tried!

Please thank Greg, Melvin, Ms. Louise (and her great announcements!) and Ms Kimberly too!  The staff working in the garden area were great and accommodating as well.

The customers seemed to enjoy the event and so many visited just to meet the animals.   The set up and location was great, despite the heat it all worked well together.

Much thanks from all of us for a job well done.
