PAWS
has begun a new program called "PAWS For A
Cause"!!
Hi! I’m Podo, I am one of the many dogs here at PAWS waiting for my new forever family to come fall in love with me. I have to tell you that the hours spent alone here are so lonely. The staff is great and they spend as much one on one time with us as possible but they have between 250-300 other animals here to care for each day. Just feeding us, making sure our accommodations are clean, giving us medications and/or flea and heartworm preventative, washing our laundry and dishes, keeps them really busy.
I was wondering what you would think about helping me out!? How does spending just a few hours of that spare time you probably really don’t have making a difference in the life of a homeless animal? If you could spare a few hours a week to spend with me, I would be so appreciative. You could come by a few times each week and take me for a walk. Maybe you could bring a snack for lunch and sit with me in our garden area, I bet it would be a little relaxing for you too! Once I got to know you, I would wait anxiously to see your smiling face walking down the aisle of adoptions! I’d know immediately you were there to see me, that you had taken the time from your busy schedule to “make my day”! I love to go for walks and I would absolutely love the feel of your hand stroking me and your voice softly chatting to me! Not to be pushy, but some tasty treats would be great too! That 30 minutes would mean the world to me! Won’t you please consider donating some time out of your busy schedule each week to make me feel special and loved? If you have the time available you could even take me to adoption events.
Please consider “PAWSing for a Cause”!
You can e-mail my friend Tricia at triciabryant@embarqmail.com
if you’re interested in participating in this great program.
Thanks!
Podo
P.S. I’d even invite you to meet my new family when I get adopted!!!

a Kuranda Bed Program
GREAT offer from Kuranda Dog
Beds! The “Donate A Bed” program was created to enable pet lovers to help bring a bit of the same comfort to deserving shelter animals that their pets enjoy at home. The beds are sent directly to PAWS in the donor’s name at a discount of about 30%. A generous individual recently donated
a 40” x 25” medium Kuranda bed to PAWS and the lucky dog who is using the bed is in heaven!!! The medium bed is $56.00.

Senior Pets for Senior Citizens
The Humane Society and Adoption Center at PAWS received a grant in 2006 from Pets for the Elderly that pays a portion of the adoption fee when seniors adopt senior pets. For a limited time PAWS is further reducing the adoption fee so that senior citizens adopting senior pets will be able to adopt a pet at no cost. This program is for pet-lovers over the age of sixty who are adopting dogs over the age of three or an adult cat. A reduction in adoption fees may also be available to seniors wanting to adopt pets of any age who have been at the shelter for longer than 60 days.
Pets must be of suitable temperament for senior adopters and all adopters must meet all adoption requirements.
If you are a senior interested in adopting a senior pet, please contact the Humane Society and Adoption Center at PAWS at 243-1525.

Okaloosa County Now Has a Dog Park There is a new dog park in Niceville. There is an unsupervised pet walk area located at the Mullet Festival fairgrounds, just north of Niceville on Florida Hwy. 85. It is a great place to exercise your dog!
The park is open dawn to 10 p.m., at which time lights will shut off automatically. This is a completely
fenced-in (double gates), shaded area of about 5-acres with large oak trees. Each pet owner is responsible for their dog’s waste clean-up.
