IT'S PET LOVE WEEK
at the
CURRITUCK ANIMAL SHELTER!
When we think of Valentine's Day, we think of those whom we love. In recognition of the unconditional total love that pets give to us every day, the Currituck Animal Shelter will be celebrating Valentine's with specials for Pet Love Week, February 14-20. Dogs and puppies can become a joyful part of your family for a discounted adoption fee of $14. less than usual; cats and kittens for just $14. each!
New adopters, in addition to receiving a little gift of love on behalf of their new pet, will also be able to enter a drawing for a chance to win any of the following: 20 Lbs. bag of gourmet dog or cat food (new owner's choice) at a value of $35. from The PetWay.com; from Greater Coastal Canine Academy, a $65. private dog training lesson free of charge; from the Animal Lovers Assistance League a $40. Voucher for the spay/neuter of another household pet; free microchipping of another pet; or a free cat carrier.
All Currituck Shelter animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, including rabies; are spayed or neutered or, if they are too young, have a voucher to cover the cost later; are microchipped; and come with 30 days of free pet insurance! Feel good -- come adopt a new loving best friend!
The Currituck Animal Shelter is located across from the Currituck Regional Airport at 204 Airport Rd., Maple, NC 27956; phone: 252-457-0011.
RECENT ADOPTATHON
Dear Animal Lovers,
Many thanks to our volunteers who helped 8 of our shelter animals go to new caring homes today. Helping with our Adoptathon at PetsMart in Greenbrier today were: Irina Bartee; Helen Cherry; Barbara Eggleston; Jean Estus; Debbie Lockwood; Breonna and Julie Loxley; Nancy vanClief; Shirley Wilson; and our Canine Care Specialist from the Shelter, Kyle Stoltz.
While we were at PetsMart, they were having another great day at the Shelter. Delaine and Caroline Spruill were volunteering there. Five of our dogs and cats, including a dog in the early, treatable stage of heartworms, went to new caring homes yesterday. Pictures to follow.
We still have a lot of animals, particularly cats, available at the shelter. It has taken years, but we are finding that many more people are coming to the shelter to adopt and volunteer than in years past. Please, when you or someone you know is looking for a new pet for his family, suggest that they come to the Currituck Animal Shelter first.
Our next is a Super Adoptathon at Petsmart on Saturday, Feb. 10. Please let me know if you would be willing to help.

Puppy Training Guide
Ian, Dunbar, one of the top American dog trainers and a veterinarian, is making his well-regarded books Before You Get a Puppy and After You Get a Puppy available free in ebook format. These books can be sent by email to anyone who adopts a puppy from a shelter. For more information and the links to the books, here is the link to his website, Dog Star Daily:

Boy Scouts Donate 1900 Pounds of Food and Supplies
Bryce Jones of Virginia Beach Boy Scout Troop 14 raised over 1900 pounds of dog and cat food not to mention cat litter, collars, leashes, towels, newspapers, dawn dish soap (for kitten/puppy flea baths) and laundry detergent. He sat outside of Care-a Lot Pet Supply Center in Virginia Beach and asked for donations from shoppers as well as posted flyers with his contact information on it. This was for an Eagle Scout Project. Pictured in uniform with him is his younger brother. I also want to mention that his family adopted a puppy a few months ago from our shelter after visiting many other shelters. They chose our shelter because of the dedication of the staff. Bryce wanted to help the shelter that helped him get his puppy Hoyt (one of Gettis' litter mates).

We Depend On Our Community!
The Animal Lovers Assistance League is a volunteer organization that depends upon the support of the community to help us operate the Currituck County Animal Shelter.
Without the help of citizens, civic-minded business leaders and the support of the community we serve, we could not perform the services we deliver to the people and animals of Currituck County.
There are many ways that you can help.
We can always use donations of pet supplies (pet food, cat litter, etc.), animal caregivers as well as financial support and building materials or tradesmen to help us improve our shelter.
