Many thanks to the organization PennyFix that offered us up to $2,000 for dogs and cats to get spayed or neutered and vaccinated for rabies in a 90-day period. We got 35 animals spayed or neutered and vaccinated in that time period, and received the entire $2,000. PennyFix has now awarded grants in 37 states and Puerto Rico, and has paid to have over 3,000 animals spayed or neutered. They are making a difference, and we thank them for helping PALS!

Thank you to Miranda Lambert's Mutt Nation for the $1,000 grant from their Love Harder campaign!!! This is a random drawing honoring shelters that adopt "less adoptable" dogs--pit bulls, disabled, large, and black dogs, and only 20 shelters receive the grant each year. Last year we were honored to be selected to represent the state of Kansas and receive the $5,000 grant from MuttNation. We love Miranda Lambert and all she does for shelter dogs!

Thank you to Ned Wall for letting us work out of Wall Family Center. Thank you to Dallas Stevens for handling the purchase of supplies. Thanks to the great cooks: Tonya Toni Evans, Angela Gatton, Peggy Gatewood, Shanon Lansdowne, Stacy Peoples , Ingrid Schell, Linda Semrad, Joan Carter Tongier, and Judy Kay Hall Wilson. Thank you to the workers and drivers: Dean Cramer, Dawn Evans, Jimmy Evans, Ivy Gatton, Nico Merchant, Stacy Peoples, Ingrid Schell, Debbie Shaw, Debi Vranekovic, and Debbie Wolverton. Because of these people we got 352 lunches to 45 places in approximately an hour and a half. Just amazing! We also want to thank Dr. Jupe Allen and Oswego Locker for generously donating the beef for the taco and vegetable beef soups.

The Petfinder Foundation awarded PALS a Cat Enrichment Grant to purchase 2 cat towers!  @petfinderfoundation

NEW DOG HOUSES!

​Sincere thanks to Petfinder Foundation for the $650 award and to the Tau Theta Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa for their award of $1,000 to purchase new igloo-style dog houses. Some of ours were in serious need of replacement, and both of these organizations came through with the funds to do so. Since our dogs spend most days outside (depending on weather), we are sure they appreciate their new abodes. Thank you, Petfinder Foundation (@petfinderfoundation) and Tau Theta Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa!

Aluminum can recycling bins built and erected by J.R. Wildwood of Wichita--Oswego and King Cash Savers and Allen Veterinary in Parsons. He also made the sign for in front of the shelter. Mr. Wildwood died in 2021 after building these bins for animal shelters in more than 60 cities in Kansas.
