[Highland Park] Golden Retreiver Rescue and Sanctuary
by olga watkins 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

I have to forward this in case anybody is in the market for an adopted dog. We found our adult female mastiff at this shelter in Delray, WV. (About 3 hours from here.) I realize there are plenty of great local shelters, but this one is run by a husband and wife team alone and they do a fantastic job. They keep these very old and infirm dogs in their house and take care of them until "then end" if necessary. They are a no kill operation. Just keep them in mind if you are looking to adopt a dog or you know people in the WV panhandle who might be looking. Hi Everyone: Well, we're moving up the "charts" with a bullet - thanks to all of you! We're currently solidly in the #5 position - - - - - - - - still out of the money, but climbing - lol Please remember to ask your friends, relatives, co-workers to vote, too! And vote every day! http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/shelterchallenge.faces?siteI… We have some new faces here. Please meet: *Shep* - at least 12 - 13 years old - abandoned by his owners and left to die by the side of a country road. This sweet old gent just needs a warm, loving home to spend the rest of his life. He is an easy going boy who would make a great foot warmer this winter. Shep *Sunny K* - is at least 10 years old. He was purchased at a yard sale by a lady who then turned him over to animal control because Sunny didn't get along with her cats. Sunny doesn't act his age. He's a nice boy who can be selective about his canine companions - - - - - - but wouldn't he look cute curled up in front of your fireplace this winter? Sunny K *Sampson* - picked up as a stray, this gentle giant (he is big), would fit into any home. Sampson is only a couple of years old, and is so loving. He's also housebroken and fully vetted. Sampson *Daisy* - - we don't really know how Daisy ended up in a rural shelter, but she did. Lucky for her, a very concerned volunteer contacted us. Daisy is a young dog - probably just over a year old. She likes other dogs, and is as cute as can be. Daisy All of these dogs need sponsors. Any and all help is appreciated. Waiting to come in is DJ - 13 years young, and unable to navigate his owners stairs any more. And Shadow, a mostly blind setter mix girl (she has PRA and will eventually lose all of her sight). And, a middle aged golden boy whose owner cannot keep him any longer. On a VERY happy note, Mr. White found his forever home this past weekend. We are always especially happy when one of our Seniors goes home with a lucky adoptor. Noelle and Victoria also found homes. Have a great week, everyone!

We'd like to pay someone to use their own gas or electric-powered mower to cut our grass one last time this season. We live on the uphill side of Jackson st. up by the park, so there are some stairs involved. If you're interested, please respond to this email. Thanks, Will

[Highland Park] black cat (found?)
by wdh1＠pitt.edu 08 Nov '09

08 Nov '09

Hello, There's a smallish black cat with a small grey mark on its chest that's been showing up at our house in the 6400 block of Jackson street for several weeks with increasing frequency. It came up to us this afternoon as we were raking leaves- it was skittish but very affectionate. We gave it some food, and it was hungry. It was thin, but not emaciated, and seemed in good shape. We're not sure if it's a female or a neutered male, as it's been too skittish to get a good look. It has no collar, but certainly looks and acts like a pet as opposed to a stray. If this sounds like your lost kitty, let me know, and we'll try an hang on to it next time it shows up. If no one claims it, we may take it to Animal Rescue League on Hamilton later this month as the weather turns cold. Best, Will

[Highland Park] Free Trex Decking
by walshr＠pitt.edu 08 Nov '09

08 Nov '09

Hi Folks, We have about 10 12ft + Pieces of Trex that we are trying to give away. They are all unused, but have been stored in our garage for a number of years so they are a bit dirty. They are in an array of browns and grays. We really hope that someone has a use for them because it would be a shame to throw them away. If you want them, give us a call. Randy 412 362-1770.
