May Events
Mark your calendars, we've got three adoption events scheduled for May. We'll have the mobile adoption trailer at the Weatherford Petsmart on May 3rd and will be assisting with a special adoption day at the shelter on Sunday, May 4th, in support of national Pet Adoptathon events. We'll also schedule a second mobile adoption event later in the month and will announce it shortly.

Chamber of Commerce Ribbon Cutting
We joined the Weatherford Chamber of Commerce and will have a ribbon cutting on Thursday, May 8th, at 10:00am. Please join us at the Chamber of Commerce office (in the train depot near Albertson's in Weatherford).

Molly Update

Molly is a special needs yellow lab that Parker Paws is fostering. She was not very adoptable at the shelter due to medical problems and a lack of socialization, but we felt she deserved a second chance. She's had her surgery and is recovering well at one of our volunteer's home. We hope to take her with us on upcoming adoption events in an effort to find her forever home.

Volunteer Activities Increase for Parker Paws

We had two successful adoption events in April, welcoming several new volunteers and adopting 9 pets while we were at Petsmart and Tractor Supply. We also collected supplies for the shelter from many generous donors.

These children found their new friend while we were at Petsmart on April 12. This friendly little pug mix bonded quickly with their family.

We've also added more volunteers to our efforts to update Petfinder with pictures and information on the adoptable pets at the shelter. Our petfinder page generates many adoptions as people across the metroplex, and throughout the state, come to our shelter to adopt pets they've viewed on-line.

Parker Paws Receives Recognition

April was National Volunteer Appreciation Month and the City of Weatherford hosted a luncheon at Chandor Gardens for several volunteer groups that support City services, including Parker Paws. Barbara Pursley accepted a plaque of appreciation on behalf of the group.

Peach Festival Plans

The Parker County Peach Festival will be held on July 12th and our group has already started planning our debut at this popular event. Last year an estimated 45,000-50,000 visitors attended the Peach Festival and we hope to gain increased exposure for our group with the sell of handcrafted pet accessories and by providing the watering station for the pets at the festival.

Please contact us if you know of a group that would like to assist us in our crafts production.
