Rescue Update

Well...today, we have 21 rescues available.

The ones who most need to make a move are Jack the Puggle, Goldie the Lab Mix, and Hank the Puggle.

I've lowered pricing on many of the rescues. If there's someone you've been watching, it's time to give us a call!! 740-695-4566

Unfortunately, we have been dealing with a pretty bad cough going around in the puppy room. Just about everyone has had it or has it currently. Just like people, some barely blink, just cough a little, and keep on playing. Others get down and need to rest for several days. We've been running through a host of products and medications ($$$$$$$$$) trying to keep things moving in the right direction.

We'll get through it. We always do. We deal with cough about 5 times a year. It's like a day care center with colds and snotty noses. When one gets it, they all do. We just have to wait it out.

I've scheduled some boys for neuter and Rabies vaccine next week. That's always a large chunk of change too.

Any donations would be appreciated. You can donate through PayPal here. Your gift of $30 will care for a dog for a month. $100. will pay for neuter and rabies vaccine on one male dog. Thank you in advance!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
WEEKLY BATHER: We are looking for a reliable volunteer to help with "kennel day" on Wednesday afternoons each week (from about 12 noon til 3 or 4 PM). This is a fun, but wet job...basically involves helping to bathe and dry all of our rescue puppies (most are under 10 pounds) in our sink. You will always have help and will never be asked to do something we wouldn't do. You will be assisting Becky, who will be clipping nails and cleaning ears at the same time, keeping these babies healthy, happy, and smelling good. You'll go home smelling like a dog, but smiling from ear to ear!

RESCUE VET TRANSPORT: We are also in need of a volunteer to occassionally (probably one or two times a month) help transport one or two puppies to & from the vet for spay/neuter. This would require reliable transportation, picking up at The Lucky Puppy (just prior to 8 AM) and dropping off at Dr. Steed's office (also in St. Clairsville). Then, that afternoon, you would pick them up after surgery and return them to The Lucky Puppy, to sleep off the anesthesia from that oh-so-important surgery! The scheduled days are somewhat flexible (must be a Mon., Tue., Thur., or Fri.) and can be scheduled at your convenience. If you want to play a big part in stopping unwanted litters of puppies, this is the volunteer job for you!

If you think that either of these would be a suitable volunteer job for you, please email me at jessica@theperkypuppy.com We'd love to have you join the team!
