local: pet needs and news for August
2008-Aug-07, Thursday 05:43 pmI know that several of the local Bears have canine pets. Hopefully some of these announcements will be of use to them. Feel free to pass the news along to anyone who might make use of it.
need cloth towels: The local Animal Humane Society (AHS) uses a lot of towels. Cleaning cages, covering cages of animals in transport, drying our shoes after we (and visitors) dip them in the disinfectant tubs. The Golden Valley site is running very short on towels. If you have any old cloth towels to clear out of a dusty cabinet somewhere, now would be a good time to collect them and drop them off at your nearest AHS site for delivery to Golden Valley.
digipet: Comcast Pet Adoptions on Demand is available in 16 television markets nationwide, but AHS is the only humane society in the Upper Midwest participating in this service. If you are a Comcast Digital Cable subscriber, you can view at any time some of the cats and dogs available for adoption at AHS. To view Pet Adoptions on Comcast ON DEMAND:
dog treats: The St. Paul Great Harvest Bread Co. is donating 100% (yes, that's right) of their sales of doggie treats to the AHS during the month of August. So you could treat both your dog and a homeless dog with a single purchase during this interesting promotion. See their August newsletter for more info.
doggie java: A new coffeeshop opens in St. Louis Park on Saturday, August 9th. This store will be open and welcoming to both owners and their canine pets. The Dog Perk and gift shop will offer free coffee and treats during the grand opening, 9am-6pm.
