A lot of news from the Oxford Lafayette Humane Society...

First things first, tomorrow, Friday, January 15th, at 1 PM at the shelter there will be a meeting about this year's Paws For Art - the biggest fundraiser that the Oxford Lafayette Humane Society puts on each year. Stop by, pet some cats and attend the meeting if you are available and interested in helping with the event this year.

Secondly, I got the email on Tuesday night that OLHS rescued 33 dogs from a puppy mill on Monday night, January 11th.  I am so glad that OLHS could step in and take care of this situation.  Sadly, this sort of thing happens frequently in North Mississippi, and all over our nation.  If you don't know what a puppy mill is, click here for more info.  The OLHS shelter in Oxford is in need of dog & puppy food (no red dye), laundry detergent, bleach, foster families, and donations for those that are sick and need vet treatment!
Pass the word,  the dogs that they rescued are rotties, daschunds, maltese, poodles, westies, boston terriers, pit bulls, shih-tzu, pomeranians.

In other, more happy news, please support our shelter at their next event:

Whiskers and Wine
