Kuranda Dog Bed Offer for People Who Want To Donate A Cot.
In the past LCSPCA has purchased dog houses, crates, blankets, fiber filled dog beds and dog cots and they all seem to get chewed up or destroyed over time. Kuranda has very durable cots that we would like to purchase so the dogs and cats will not have to lay on hard concrete or plastic crates and we can cut down on the amount of laundry from blankets, and other cloth bedding currently being used. Kuranda will let people go to their web site and purchase a cot or cots for the shelter of their choice and will ship it to the shelter. They will give purchasers a 30% discount and even let people make donations in someones honor and send them a thank you note. The cots cost $52 to $69 each depending on which one you choose. Please help us out and supply a bed for a dog or cat today. We are in desperate need. Right now we do not even have dog houses or crates for every dog and we are having to use blankets on the concrete floor or dog house tops turned upside down with blankets inside them as beds. Go to kuranda.com <http://kuranda.com>. Click on "Donate a Bed." Choose "Lake Country SPCA----Clarksville, VA" from their list of participating shelters and then choose a cot and add it to your shopping cart and pay. They will send us a notification of your donation and the cot will be sent directly to us at the shelter! We typically have about 70-100 dogs and 75-100 cats at the shelter, as well as many more in foster care. Having something to lay on to get them up off the cold, hard and sometimes wet, concrete, will make their homeless kennel experience more tolerable.

DOG WALKERS, TRAINERS & PET SOCIALIZERS NEEDED

Our staff and volunteers are so busy cleaning, feeding, watering, helping customers, etc., we rarely get a chance to walk or play with the dogs or give them obedience training. The cats crave attention and petting and some need socializing. All of the animals are desperate for attention and exercise, and many of them could benefit by being exposed to men and children (most of our workers are women). If you or family members have free time and would like to come pet or play with the animals, teach them how to walk on leashes, how to fetch, sit, etc., please come on in and volunteer! Call 434 374-8076, email lakecountryspca@yahoo.com <http://us.mc458.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=lakecountryspca@yahoo.com> or just stop by the shelter anytime at 7577 Hwy. 58, Clarksville, VA 23927 next to Ace Hardware.

*****AS OF SUMMER 2009, WE ARE VERY, VERY SHORT ON OPERATING FUNDS AND ARE IN IMMEDIATE NEED OF CASH DONATIONS TO KEEP THE ANIMAL SHELTER RUNNING. IF YOU CAN HELP, PLEASE MAIL CHECKS TO LAKE COUNTRY SPCA, P.O. BOX 14, CLARKSVILLE, VA 23927 OR DROP OFF A DONATION AT THE SHELTER OR ACE HARDWARE AND NOTE THAT THIS IS TOWARD THE SOS (SAVE OUR SHELTER) CAMPAIGN. DUE TO THE BAD ECONOMY AND SO MANY PEOPLE TURNING IN ANIMALS, NOT SPAYING OR NEUTERING THEM, AND/OR ABANDONING THEM, WE ARE TAKING IN RECORD NUMBERS OF ANIMALS BUT MAKING FEWER ADOPTIONS. ALONG WITH THIS, OUR PAYROLL HAS DOUBLED IN ORDER TO CARE FOR ALL THE ANIMALS AND OUR VET BILLS ARE VERY HIGH. IF YOU WANT TO KEEP US IN THE COMMUNITY PROVIDING THIS SERVICE, PLEASE HELP, OR HELP SOME MORE IF YOU ALREADY HAVE. WE HAVE LITTLE LEFT IN RESERVE. WE ALSO WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE ALREADY OVER THE YEARS DONATED SO MUCH TIME AND MONEY TO THE SPCA TO TAKE THE ANIMALS OFF OUR STREETS, AND FIND THEM HOMES.*****
