SALES FOR TAILS 2018 THRIFT SALE
The Washburn County Area Humane Society's thrift sale was a financial success! In spite of the weather which made the sale set-up somewhat challenging, the three-day sale brought in over $2,000. Thanks to the generous individuals who donated items, Lamperts for donating their large tent, volunteers who helped throughout the week setting up, selling, and taking down the sale, and to each individual who came, bought and probably gave more than their purchase prices, this 2018 Sales for Tails profit is a nice deposit in the shelter's operational account. The human response to animal shelter fundraising events is the best reward each WCAHS employee and volunteer experiences. During these get togethers, great animal stories are told and heard, and the generosity of individuals is shown through the donation of money, the sharing of ideas, and the offers to volunteer. This animal shelter business can be an emotional roller coaster but with successful fundraisers and continued positive support, this business will remain an important place of opportunity to care for and find homes for the special animals that can provide unconditional love, contentment, entertainment and companionship. CAT COLONY ROOMS AT OUR NEW SHELTER
Phyllis Haseleu and her family have been long-time animal lovers and find a valuable enjoyment through their own variety of pets. However, Phyllis and her daugher, Shawn, and her son, Russ can be credited with designing, making, and installing all the kitty cat furnishings in the new WCAHS shelter's wonderful cat rooms. The contentment and joyfulness the temporary cat community now thrive on is because this generous, caring family blessed these felines with their efforts.
Sather Jewelry of Spooner is promoting adoptions from WCAHS by offering a $50 gift certificate, good for anything in their store, when you adopt a dog or cat from us. We're grateful for this extremely generous donation and if you've been thinking about adding a furry member to your household, now is the time!

Many people have been asking about our needs, both our everyday needs and our needs for when we move to the new building. As most of you know our shelter burned down in March and we lost just about everything - leashes, collars, medical items, bowls, toys, supplies, equipment. So we thought we would create an Amazon Wish List. We put together a list of everyday needs as well as items for the new building and we will be updating it. We tried to make it easy for those who would like to help out by giving a wide range of options and tried to keep them in some sort of order - please scroll through. Items can be shipping directly to the temporary shelter. There is an address on file with the list when you check out. THANK YOU to all of you for always being so supportive. Click on the Amazon wish list logo above to go to our wish list. |
