We have had such an amazing start to 2010, this weekend will will pass the 200 adoptions mark, which is amazing since this is normally the slowest time of the year.  I am getting goosebumps thinking about the party we are going to have when we do our 1,500th adoption this year :-)  This year we will also be doing our 5,000th adoption since we began doing this in 2001.  
 
Have I told you guys lately how much we ROCK!  Well, someone has to say it :-)  I keep asking Jake and all I get is the occasional, arf.  Which I am sure in border collie language means "Jen, you are the bestest mommy in the whole world and I love you so much..."; okay, I know he really means.. throw the frisbee, or the ball, or that sock...seriously, just throw something...  The other day Heather was here with her kids and when they left he went and got in her van, I know this was to tell me that if I won't play fetch with him that she has 4 kids that will... I sure do love my Jake, the traitor...
 
We had our first adoption at Pet Supplies Plus in Stow, Ricky was adopted!  We are going to show there every other weekend.  We will be making our debut at the Green Pet Supplies Plus this Saturday (the one on Arlington in the new plaza with Target).  Stop out and tell Barb and Cynda "HI" on Saturday, it is our first time there, 12-3...
 
We are also making a small shift in our showing times, instead of 11-2, we are moving it back an hour, so 12-3.  We will see how that goes for now and we will probably expand that once summer rolls around...  Here is a link to sign up to hold dogs..Click here to come hold dogs! We also need medium and large dog crates...  If you have one let me know...
 
One last thing.  I want to say HI to Mr. Dibiase's class today.  I understand that you read this newsletter weekly to see the new dogs...  Thank you for caring about the animals!  You guys ROCK too!!!
 
Here are the dogs we got in the week...
 
Able- male beagle mix (Annie & Abby's brother
Bella - a 6 month old schnauzer (45 pounds)
Shady Lady - a 3 year old lab/border collie mix
Dallas - an adult catahoula leopard dog
Gretchen - a young small wire terrier (think Scruffy)
Justin - a young lab/shepherd mix
Lacey - a young yellow lab mix
Newfie Lab pups - 6 weeks. 
Nicky - an adult jack russell
Radar - a young spaniel/beagle
Shorty - an adult bassett hound
Smiley - a baby shepherd/chow mix fluffball
ABagel - a young beagle/bassett male (nice family dog)
 
We also have Frankie, he is a 6 year old dachshund with a bacterial infection on his skin.  He is a long hair black and tan, very sweet.  He is healing nicely, but needs a special home, email me if you are interested.  Also got a male lhasa mix coming in and another shih tzu male on the way today. 
 I hope to see all of you this weekend!  Please pass this email on to your family and friends, and anyone else that might be looking for a dog or cat. 

 
Have a great weekend!

pawprint Who We Are

Paws and Prayers is a Northeast Ohio based animal rescue group whose primary mission is to rescue, care for, and find loving homes for homeless cats and dogs. Our secondary goal is to make sure all of these animals are spayed or neutered.  We operate as a non-profit, incorporated organization that functions solely on the efforts of foster homes and volunteers. In 2009, we placed over 1,000 animals in new permanent homes in cities such as Akron, Cleveland, Canton, and Youngstown.
