June Shelter News

Hello!

Hard to believe it’s been almost two weeks since the Putts For Mutts Golf Tournament. Time does fly at the busy shelter. We had a great turnout; thank you to all the sponsors, golfers, people who donated items and people who bought raffle tickets. It was a success, and we appreciated all the support!

Open House is this Saturday June 15th from 1-3pm. Have you have been thinking of a 4 legged addition to your home? We have big dogs and small dogs, puppies and older dogs too. Some dogs like Judy, Elroy, Sammi and Rio might need some time to warm up to strangers, others like Abby, Mitch, Jill or Arthur are bouncing bundles of happiness with everyone they meet. So far this year over 125 dogs and pups have found their “furever” homes. Perhaps your newest friend is waiting at the shelter now for you!

We also have a great patriotic raffle basket that is on display at the shelter. Stop by during our open hours, Monday-Saturday from 1-3pm to purchase tickets. We are selling tickets for it through June 28th. The winner will be drawn at NCCR’s Deli Dog Day Event, 11:30-1:30, at the Olde Corner Deli in Hartfield. There is more than $100 worth of items in this prize! Bring one (1) Nylabone, tough Kong toy, or a destructive-proof plush dog toy (made in USA) to the Deli and receive one (1) raffle ticket for free. An appreciative shelter dog(s) will greet you at the picnic table!

As always, the volunteers thank you for your support (we know the dogs do too; we are their voice!)

Dog Days of Kenmore

Volunteers and Ivy recently attended Dog Days of Kenmore. Nearly every breed of dog imaginable was there. Dogs in strollers, dogs in hats protecting their eyes from the bright sun, dogs wearing outfits for their outing. It was heartwarming to see the love and pride so many people felt for their dogs and the dogs for their people. A former NCCR dog, Elsa, stopped by to visit with her family.

Ivy, who has since been adopted, was a perfect ambassador for NCCR!

Lost and Found

If you have lost or found a pet, please first check with your local dog or animal control officer to see if the pet has been reported lost or if you have lost your pet the officer may have been contacted by the person who found your pet.  Click here for the Dog & Animal Control officers.  Please also check with the local veterinarians, shelters and one of the best resources in our area, the Facebook page “Chautauqua Missing Pet Alert”. 

We are thankful!

All the shelter dogs past and present, big and small, young and old would like to thank everyone for their donations over the past year.  There will always be dogs and puppies waiting for good homes, and your donations help feed them, keep them warm and pay for all their veterinary bills.  If you volunteer they thank you for their walks and playtime, cuddles and pats on the head, kind words and loving touches.   If you adopt or tell others to adopt then you’ve helped make a home for a very lucky dog and in turn made a space at the shelter for another dog to get a second chance.  We would not be able to do what we do without your help.  We all are grateful!

NCCR is located at 7540 N. Gale St. in Westfield and is open Monday-Saturday from 1-3pm (closed Christmas and New Year’s Day) or by appointment  by calling (716)326-7297.
