August Events
We will host a volunteer day at the shelter on August 16 to assist with adoptions there, rather than conduct an offsite event (due to the excessive heat). Volunteers will have leashed dogs out of their kennels and more accessible to visitors, and help answer their questions about the adoption procedure.

Aledo Vet Clinic Helps Parker Paws
Thank you to the Aledo Vet Clinic who chose Parker Paws as their Frontline Paws for Charity! The special promotion for July raised over $130. Additional funds were raised with the use of donation jars at their clinic. Thank you to all who helped!

Parker Paw Purchases
Thanks to our generous supporters, we were able to aid the shelter when they ran low on supplies this month. We restocked their supply of cardboard cat carriers, kitty litter and bleach.

Groundbreaking Ceremony
There was a large crowd of supporters for the groundbreaking ceremony on July 16. Construction has begun on a new office and spay/neuter building, and a new kennel building. You may read the news article by clicking here.

Join the Bed Drive
One of the new buildings under construction will have 24 dog kennels. Funding is still shy of the total costs, and Parker Paws will help by raising money to purchase the 24 Kuranda beds needed.

At $54 each, we'll need to raise $1300. We've already raised nearly $800 at the Peach Festival, and will continue our efforts. If you'd like to help, our donation page provides a link for payments on-line through PayPal.




We love our supporters! Please share this newsletter with your friends.

Peach Festival Success

We raised nearly $800 at our booth at the Peach Festival through donations and through the sale of hand-crafted items (some made by our volunteers, others donated by local crafters)

Two of our volunteers had their rescued dogs with them, and received many donations. This is Lily accepting a donation from a young boy. View more pictures of the event here.

July Volunteering

We had an offsite adoption event at Petsmart on July 19, with 3 dogs being adopted. This is A.J., one who found a new home.

Several volunteers meet at the shelter each Wednesday to assist with picture taking for Petfinder.com. Thanks to them, we're able to add every adoptable pet to the website and connect with potential adopters.

Spreading the word

We are excited to share our new brochures. Janelle and Blair Currin designed the brochures and Sharon Henkelman, of Imaging Bureau, donated the printing of 25,000 brochures. We can't thank them enough! This will increase our exposure to the public in such a professional manner.

We had printed a few ourselves but it was cost-prohibitive to maintain an adequate supply. Thanks to these generous donors we distributed brochures at the Peach Festival and can now maintain a supply for distribution at the shelter, the Weatherford Chamber of Commerce and other community outreach areas. If you would like to share some with your friends, please let us know and we'll provide them for you.
