on Fosters Our foster volunteers took home several more pets from the shelter this month, to give them more time until a permanent home can be found.
 Our featured foster pet this month is Jody, a young adult border collie. She's become a much more sociable pet in her foster home, after being turned in to the shelter as a scared, reclusive mom with three puppies. You can read more about her on her Petfinder page here. Here are some of our other foster pets, with links to their Petfinder pages:

October
Volunteering
Gidget, our featured foster dog in October, was one of the dogs adopted at the PetSmart event. Several of our foster volunteers attended the annual Halloween event at Walden's Farm and Ranch on October 25th and adopted out a well-mannered shepherd mix from the shelter. We had a busy month of fundraising in October, including events at the Greenwood Volunteer Fire Department's annual dinner, Brookshire's pet promotion, a garage sale ($400 raised, thanks to our volunteer Lana hosting this at her home, assisted by volunteers Linda and Kay), Boo! Bash Halloween Party (estimated $2,000 raised, thanks to our fabulous hosts from Bella Pop: Brandy and Brandon Frank), and Dr. Grote's Open House, allowing us yet another fundraising opportunity which resulted in $450 for items needed at the shelter. These fundraising efforts will allow Parker Paws to purchase the cages needed in the new cat and small-breed dog rooms in the building under construction. A big thanks to all the volunteer effort involved in these activites, and to our generous supporters who allow us to increase our impact with the lost and abandoned pets at the shelter. November
Activities We'll also enter a Christmas tree in the annual Fantasy Forest competion at Weatherford City Hall. The public will bid on the entries and vote for the People's Choice. Parker Paws will receive all the silent auction funds received for our tree entry and the People's Choice winner will be awarded an additional $150. Our tree won 2nd place last year so we're anxiously planning for a first place win this year. Silent auction and voting will be held at City Hall from November 17 until December 5. In
