Ain’t too proud to beg...
A Bounty of Blessings
This month, the
kudos go to you! You
answered our plea
for help with veterinary expenses.
We told you the
MONTHLY
story of Sassy and
NEED
her puppies. You
4 lg. bottles
responded with
4 45-bag boxes close to $9,000 in
4 boxes
donations! Some
of you sent checks to us; others sent them
5 gallons
directly to Neuse Veterinary Center. The
200 cans
great
news is that now the immediate care
10 large bags
for Sassy and her puppies is paid for and
200 cans
we made a dent in the rest of our veterinary
10 large bags bills. Of course, the costs never end. When
25 boxes
you provide care for >100 cats and close to
100 dogs, that happens. We ask them to stop
needing vaccinations. We ask them to stop
having heartworms. We ask them to neuter
themselves. They just look at us with trust
and love. Your response has been so heartening. Thank you. If you have not yet donated
and would like to, we’d greatly appreciate it.
If you happen to be near Petsense,
where we have a bin for donated
items, we would appreciate any
contributions of the following items
from our CCHS Donation Wish List.
ITEM
Dawn dish detergent
13-gallon Glad trash bags
Black contractor plastic bags
Clorox
Canned Friskies cat food
Purina dry cat food
Canned Pedigree dog food

What a character Pepper is! We dearly love her, and she is
a great addition to our family! Every day she makes us laugh at
something she does. We are so very glad we got the opportunity to
adopt her before we moved back to Ohio. She has adjusted really
well, in spite of our frigid temps and snow. We found out she is
not real fond of the snow, and we have had a lot of it this winter
with more on the way. I guess she is just like us! She either plants
herself on our family room loveseat or lounges in the leather chair.
Pepper and her sister dog, Lucy, have a wonderful time
together. She enjoys chasing squirrels out of our yard and has
learned not to cross the invisible fence even if the squirrels are
right on the other side. A miracle for a basset. Thank you for bringing her into our lives, and thank you for all the good work you do!
We won’t forget you!
—Phyllis and Steve Davey, Sandusky, OH
Pepper with her evening cocktail.
We are the adopted parents of Sunshine, who was resident
in your cat safe house for five years. At first, she was very shy and
obviously not used to being held or petted much. She seemed lonesome, so
Lisa brought Dixie to see if maybe they would be able to get along together.
Sunshine had only a couple of days with us at the time, so we were shocked
at the attitude she displayed. No way was that other cat coming to live here.
This is her place and she just isn’t about to share. Poor Dixie had to go back to
where she came from. We love Sunshine, and she is not the least afraid of lap
sitting and petting and good food and sweet talk.

WE LOVE HIM! He is PERFECT! Patches
is very protective and clings to me and
our kids. Last night, he even came into
our bedroom and was playful with me
again this morning. He loves, loves my
daughter, Katelynn, and sleeps in her
room every night. I am so thankful to
have been a part of your great organization. Everyone I was in contact with was
amazing! We love Patches to pieces and
cannot thank you all enough. I have
attached a letter from my kiddos, saying
why they wanted Patches. Super adorable, right? Y’all seem like a wonderful

My family adopted Luna, the Basset mix. She’s been a great addition to the
family. It took a couple of days before she realized she could be herself, but it
has gone well since. She gets along well with our dog, Carl, who we adopted
in 2008 from Pitt Friends, and is great with our kids. She has found a couple of
shoes to chew on, but I guess dogs will be dogs.

CCHS WINS AMBASSADOR AWARD
CCHS successfully competed against
other East-Coast humane societies to
win a $500 Ambassador Grant from
Clays for Strays (claysforstrays.org), a Delaware nonprofit that raises funds to help
abandoned or unwanted animals.
Supporters of nominees from several states filled out online questionnaires
about why their organization deserved
the grant.
Arielle Morris, founder and president of Clays for Strays, says “It is clear
that CCHS has an incredibly dedicated
all-volunteer staff that goes above and
beyond anything that could possibly be
expected to see that their animals are
well taken care of. They also provide
education services regarding animal
abuse and the importance of spaying
and neutering our pet friends. With the
many projects they have underway, like
their facility expansion and their mission
of rescuing hundreds of cats and dogs,
Clays for Strays is proud to grant $500
to this deserving organization.”
Last year, CCHS found new homes
for 89 dogs and 87 cats and rescued
more than 100 others. A recent rescue of
15 dogs during extreme weather conditions resulted in a substantial addition to
already-high veterinary costs. Gifts from
members and the Ambassador Grant
will enable CCHS to care for these dogs
as well as other dogs and cats await-
ing adoption. Clays for Strays raises its
money by creating and selling clay figurines of dogs and cats, including custom
figurines designed from photos supplied
by the donor.

birthday at the end of December. However, to give
Christmas a little elbow room, her birthday celebration,
a Rollerland skating party, was held a month later. Haley asked

what Colonial Capital

CCHS NEWS—I NSIDE AND O UTSIDE THE S HELTER .
S
o, what a winter. The mud. The snow.
The mud again. The cold. And the realization that once the expansion begins,
our access to the cat shelter becomes trickier
for awhile, as does heating the shelter. So now
the plan for the expansion is to get underway
by the end of April when everything is dried out
and the weather is warmer. We will keep you
updated. We now have more than 125 cats in
foster homes or at our shelter and close to 100
dogs. Adoptions are going well, as you can see
on page 1, but it seems as soon as one finds a
home, an emergency comes up and another
takes his or her place.
Our new location for the yard sales is
turning out to be nothing short of perfect. Mary
Sanders reports that the first sale on McCarthy
Boulevard brought in $3,700! The second sale,
on March 8, resulted in about $2,500. The plan
is to have the warehouse open for a sale every
other weekend. Meantime, many of you are
bringing in items for us to sell, so every sale has
a fresh supply of great things. Different volunteers are overseeing areas of the warehouse,
such as seasonal items, kitchen ware, dishes and
glassware, toys, furniture, construction items,
clothing, boutique items...it’s more than a little
impressive.
Two satisfied customers and just a very few of the many
CCHS volunteers who yard sales our biggest ongoing
fundraiser for veterinary expenses. Yard sales are held on
alternate Saturdays.
