Ag Expo January 2010

AWA Hits Adoption Jackpot at Ag Expo

            The annual Ag Expo agricultural exhibit at Poplar Bluff’s Black River Coliseum drew thousands of folks on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 22 and 23. And with the permission of the P.B. Police Department and Ag Expo officials, the Animal Welfare Alliance took 13 dogs and puppies to Expo from the city pound.

            Every single one of them got adopted! That was a thrill for the homeless critters and for the AWA volunteers who staffed the adoption table, loaned their dog pens, cleaned up the inevitable messes and hauled the animals back and forth from the shelter. Icing on the cake: AWA volunteers staffing the city shelter that Saturday adopted out one dog and one cat, even though we had left them with slim pickings.

            That brought our adoption total for the Friday/Saturday weekend to 15 animals! The tally included several grown dogs who had been hard to place and whose time was running out at the shelter. It was a gratifying weekend.

Company Donates Sign to AWA

4M Sign Service & Design, of Poplar Bluff, has donated a weatherproof sign to the Animal Welfare Alliance for use during the group’s pet adoption days.

The AWA staffs the Poplar Bluff Animal Shelter on a volunteer basis on Saturdays to help increase the number of pet adoptions from that facility. The non-profit organization also occasionally takes “pound puppies” to commercial locations around town to encourage adoptions.  Carol Marler, center, co-owner of 4M Sign, is flanked by employees Justin Hoon, left, of Poplar Bluff, and Lacey McClintock, right, of Wappapello.

If there is anything you can contribute to help the lives of the animals, please do so, either a monetary or a physical contribution. Please visit our Wishlist page.


We also now have a Memorial page where you can place an
In Memory'
or 'In Honor Of'
donation.

This is a wonderful way to give a public and worldly recognition to your loving pet who has passed away. A nice Birthday, Wedding, Graduation, or Christmas gift for someone too.

Also with your donations, we will also be able to maintain a low cost spay and neuter clinic for those who cannot afford to spay or neuter their pets.

Thank you again for all your support.


Take An Abandoned Animal
Into Your Heart and Home

Please remember, adopting a pet is a long-term commitment. You will need to provide food, shelter, yearly vaccinations and one-time neutering or spaying. (Financial assistance for neutering or spaying available for those who qualify.)

Take Westwood Boulevard (Bus. Rte. 67) south to Blackwell-Baldwin Ford. Go west on Butler Street, as if going to the service department of the dealership; keep going to the end of the street.

The Dangers of Dogs on Chains

Chaining has been a socially acceptable method of restraining dogs for hundreds of years in the United States. This practice of restraint has proven dangerous for not only the chained dogs but humans, other dogs, and animals that come in contact with the dog. Read More of Dogs on Chains Here
