Katy I cannot understand why I am still at the shelter as I think I am a great girl! I am very friendly; I get along great with kids and adults. I also like cats and other dogs. See, I am just a lover! I love to play, and I must admit I love chew toys too! But what I love the most is having a home of my own. I would absolutely love it if someone came to the shelter and would see what a wonderful girl I am! Valentine's Day is coming afterall, won't you be my valentine?

Connie I was wandering around without a home, and lucky for me someone found me and brought me to the shelter. I heard it is really cold and snowy outside. I can't imagine where I would be if I didn't come to the shelter. It is really nice having a warm bed to sleep in and not worrying about freezing outside. I must've had a home at one time since I know how to use the litter box. I am still young, about six months old so I will provide many years of companionship to someone. You just need to come to the shelter and get me! I'll be here waiting!

Dear Friends,

GREETINGS and HAPPY NEW YEAR from your shelter animals. We are quite a busy place at the moment. This cold weather and snow have been very hard on us. Our Humane Officer, Valerie Hutzell Smith, has found many of us freezing in the winter snow and the bitter cold. The shelter is very, very full. Some of us were abandoned in the snow, while others of us were surrendered by families who don’t want us anymore or are moving. Either way, we are heart broken about losing our families and our homes.

As a New Year’s Resolution, we are hoping some of you would make the commitment to help us. One way to help would be to come to the shelter once a week to walk or play with us. We really need some special love and attention. It is too cold for us to stay outside and we get very lonely and bored in our kennels hour after hour. When the weather cooperates, we dogs are walked on the snowy trails. We love it and our walkers are losing those extra pounds that somehow “happened” over the holidays.

Another special way to help us would be to foster one of us dogs or cats that have been waiting the longest for a home. We would be the first ones you see on our website, www.somersetpets.com, as you scroll down the list.

The best New Year’s Resolution would be to adopt one of us to become a member of your family. Your life will be enriched far beyond your expectations when you can share it with a soft, furry friend. Please come visit us- we are waiting for you!

(Won’t you please give a future to a deserving dog or cat in 2010? Hope to see you soon.)

Sincerely,
Your four legged friends
