A December to Remember!

First of all, we hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and is looking forward to a terrific New Year's celebration this week. We know that the latest bunch of animals who headed home in time for the holidays are definitely feeling the magic of the season.

Since our last posting, eight cats and five dogs were adopted! You can see pictures and learn the tales of most of them by checking out our December adoptees photo album on our Facebook page or by clicking here. (Remember, you don't have to have a Facebook account just to see our page!) But since we don't have pictures of a few of the critters who went home, we thought we'd share their happy news here.

• Amos the dog went home to Green Bay with his new family - which includes a doggie brother named Blaze!
• LeAnn the kitten went home with Helen, who lives in Clintonville. LeAnn is Helen's only cat so we know she will be properly spoiled!
• Tweed the cat is now living in Green Bay with Marcia and her daughter Jennifer. Tweed will undoubtedly add entertainment to their lives, as well as the lives of Riley (their dog) and Phoebe and Ali (their other cats).
• Madison the cat went home on Christmas Eve day with a family who lives in Manawa. In fact, she was a Christmas surprise for two very unsuspecting children!

We also want to say thanks to the volunteers who took time out of their busy pre-holiday schedules to share part of last weekend with us. Those who volunteered at our second Photos with Santa Claws event helped us raise another $250 to care for the animals - and they introduced Tweed, Catarina and Kiara (who you'll find on Facebook) to their new families. And those who came out to the Sanctuary for dog/cat spa days helped us get the residents all ready for Christmas. Thank you all!
