WCAHS S.N.A.P PROGRAM |
Washburn County Area Humane Society recently received a very generous
donation which has been designated for altering companion animals for low
income individuals or families in Washburn County. We all know that the overpopulation of pets is a huge problem and
the only way to get these numbers reduced is by altering as many pets as
possible! Although WCAHS has always
offered a SNAP (spay neuter all pets) program, we are now able to provide this
service with little to no cost to those who qualify. If you do not have a current veterinarian for your pet, you can
call one of these clinics who are participating in the WCAHS SNAP program: Care
Animal Clinic, Creatures Great and Small, Cumberland Veterinary Clinic,
Northern Lakes Veterinary Clinic and Spooner Veterinary Clinic.
2014 TREE OF LIGHTS
On December 1st, WCAHS held its annual Tree Lighting at the shelter. Staff members, Board members, and visitors gathered to share stories of their beloved pets, partake of refreshments, visit the cats, dogs and bunnies available for adoption, win prizes, and view the lighting of the tree. Thanks to the generosity of so many of our loyal supporters, the tree was overflowing with tributes in honor of or in memory of the pets who are or who have been such important parts of our lives. We’ve raised over $3800 so far this year with our Tree of Lights. If you would still like to have your pet’s name on our tree, which will be up until Christmas, a form is available by clicking the Tree of Lights button in the Upcoming Events and News section below.
Thanks to everyone who made the evening such a success and congratulations to our prize winners. Door prize winners were Sandy Bjurman, Monte Miller, Denny Snarski, Bill Thornley, Liz Borelli, Stella Snarski, Chris Kading, Winona Coshow and Belle Adams. Alexander Snarksi won a prize for guessing the number of cat toys, and Brielle Anderson won the contest for guessing the number of dog treats. We also had a drawing for Christmas stockings donated by Thimbles Quilt Shop. The winners were: Charlotte Snarksi, Robin Kriedeman, Ethel Peoples, Carol Henderson, Shawn Haseleu, Kathy & Jon Griffith, Kari Deering, Phyllis Page, Dennis & Susan Dunn, Bev & Fred Schluter, Michelle Balk, Carolyn Saletri, and Judy Wiederhold. Refreshments were provided by Sandy Bjurman and Alice Simundson.

Snags Sports Bar sponsored it’s 2nd annual “Critter Run” held for Washburn County Area Humane Society on Saturday, September 20th and it was a great success! Ten riders participated in the run with stops at at Mac Lake Inn, Gruzly’s Buck & Wing, The Cabaret, The Local, Lipsie Pines and ending back at Snags. Many people who didn’t sign up for the run stopped by to support the shelter by purchasing tickets for many great prizes that were donated for the Chinese Raffle and numerous drawings. Linda Kodesh got first place with the best roll of the dice and had a choice of three top prizes. You could also show your support by purchasing a paper bone to honor or remember your pet that was hung up around the bar. There was great food, music by Those Guys, prizes, friends and fun that the rain couldn’t even put a damper on! We have a caring, generous community that gave so kindly for a cause that is near and dear to all of us! Hundreds of animals come through the shelter each year and the work done there continues because of community support like this and caring individuals! $825.00 was raised this year for the animals at WCAHS! Everyone who had a hand in this fundraiser should be proud of a “fundraiser” well done!

We work at the Department of Transportation Divisions of
State Patrol and Transportation System Development in Spooner and are part of a
workplace challenge called “Cram the Cruiser.” This initiative honors our
Division of State Patrol K-9 Unit with a food and supplies drive for animals in
shelters throughout the state. Each
team chooses a K-9 sponsor and a rescue organization, and competes with other
teams to gather donated items that will “cram a cruiser.”
The K-9 for our region is named Rocky, and on his behalf and in honor of Nero, the K9 for the NW Region who we recently lost to cancer, we are donating food and supplies to help the animals in your care at WCAHS. We hope that our efforts make life a little easier for the cats, dogs, rabbits and others who reside in your shelter while you help them find permanent homes. Thanks for all you do in support of animals.
Sincerely,
K-9 Rocky and Department of Transportation Divisions of State Patrol and Transportation System Development, Spooner, WI
