The dog days of summer are a good thing around here!

HOPE Happenings

at the HOPE Animal Shelter

JULY 2021

HOPE Animal Shelter is an Accredited Member of the American Sanctuary Association.

Keeping up the hard work, no matter the weather

The dog days of summer are known as the hot, sultry days of summer when people begin feeling quite lethargic. But, here at HOPE, our dogs and cats are enjoying carefree days at the sanctuary, while our staff and volunteers are hard at work trying to find the perfect homes for our pets and making sure everyone is getting the care they need and deserve. Take a look at some of our activities below and see who is ready for adoption. I am so grateful for my compassionate, hard-working staff. They are the best!

HOPE part of Countywide Adoption Event

It's hard to believe that people are returning the pets they adopted during the worst of the pandemic, but it's true. Shelters are filling up at an alarming rate.

Pima Animal Care Center is teaming up with local shelters and rescues, including HOPE, of course!, to hold a county-wide adoption event July 10-11. Each shelter will host activities at their respective sites all weekend that feature giveaways, food, music, and more.

Thousands of pets will be up for adoption. The adoption prices and hours vary at each location.

The goal is to find homes for 400 pets over the weekend.

People who want to help but cannot adopt or foster pets can make donations to the participating locations via their websites or in person. Financial donations always go further, but area shelters and rescues could also use pet food, toys, treats, blankets, towels, and other pet care items.

HOPE will be at PetSmart at 4740 E. Grant Road this Saturday, July 10, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Sunday, July 11, from noon to 3 p.m.

Help us make this event a success! We look forward to seeing you at PetSmart.

LOOK WHO'S UP FOR ADOPTION

Hello, Reilly!

I am a young fawn-and-cream female shepherd mix, and I am a playful and talkative girl! I love running around and playing with toys. Most of all, I love getting pets and attention! I get along with other dogs, both large and small, and I love chew toys. I am working on my basic training with simple commands. I am housebroken if I go out on a regular schedule, but I also am puppy-pad trained for backup.

Will you give me a chance? I will cheer you up!

That face!

I'm Tailor, and everyone always says how pretty I am, but I am just looking for someone to take me to a forever home. I'm a senior kitty but still look and act like a youngster! I love to talk to everyone, and my favorite pastimes are sitting on the window ledge napping and watching birds.

If you would like to give a sweet senior kitty a forever home, I would love to meet you!

To adopt these sweet pets, please visit hopeanimalshelter.net. By the way, most of the animals you see in this newsletter are up for adoption. Contact us, and we will help you make the perfect match.

FUN FACT

So, that's why you do that?!

A cat’s rear end in your face is a gesture of friendship, while kneading means happiness.

Draping their tail over another cat, dog, or you means friendship, too.

Phew, glad we got that straightened out!
