Membership Drive Nearing the Finish Line
It's not too late to upgrade or become an Animal Advocate Club member to help more animals like Sonic find their special person!
|
|
Monthly giving members are vital to the continuity of our adoption and community pet resources programs and provide stability to our organization all year long. This year our membership goal was 30 new or upgraded Animal Advocate Club members, and we're thrilled to announce that we're currently at 37! Can you help us crush our goal by getting us to 40?
Starting at just $5 a month, you can get special membership perks and, more importantly, know that you're making a difference for cats, dogs, and people in our community. Our members make special "happy tails" possible, like Sonic the kitten.
Sonic came to Animal Friends Alliance as a tiny kitten who needed a foster. He was placed with the Bergerud family, and immediately Crystal Bergerud realized something special was happening. Those of us who have had a special soul connection with an animal know how unique and magical this bond can be, and Crystal saw this was happening with her son, who had found a kitty soulmate in their new foster.
They officially made him part of the family about a year ago and, as Crystal says, "it just keeps getting cuter!" Her son even brought his soul-kitty to preschool with him, and Sonic was calm and patient with every kiddo who wanted to hold him.

This lucky kitty, Sonic, found his special person a year ago and continues to grow with him every day! Our amazing Animal Advocate Club members help make magical "happy tails" like this possible! |
|
We hope every animal we serve is lucky enough to find their human soulmate, but we can only continue to take in animals like Sonic with your continued support. Become an Animal Advocate Club member or upgrade your membership today to help us meet and surpass our 2022 fundraising goals so we can focus on the real reason we're all here: we love animals and believe every cat and dog deserves to find their perfect person.

Help Rolo & Pounce Find a Loving Home... Together! |
|
Meet Rolo and his brother Pounce! At 12 years old, don’t let their age fool you; these Beagle boys love to play and still have lots of love to give!
These boys are as friendly as can be and love children, snuggling up together, and long walks full of good places to sniff. These two seniors are a bonded pair who do everything together and would prefer a home that can take them both – they even wag their tails together at the same pace! They would make great companions for any home.
Interested in Rolo and Pounce? You can complete an adoption questionnaire by visiting our website (be sure to mention you'll take them together!) or send any questions you may have about them to [email protected]. If you're not in a place to adopt a bonded pair of beagles, you can also donate to support their care and ensure we can keep taking pups in need like them! |

Pups on the Poudre Makes Our Pooches Pretty! |
Corey Pantano-Fryar may no longer be Animal Friends Alliance staff, but that doesn't mean she's stopped tending to the extensive grooming needs of the animals we rescue.
Corey and her team opened Pups on the Poudre Grooming toward the end of 2021 and have already donated over $800 worth of services this year! We can't thank them enough (and Darwin, pictured here getting a spa day, says thanks, too) for all they do to help our dogs and cats look and feel their best as they look for loving homes. Be sure to remember them for all of your pet's grooming needs! |
