Booths
In order to raise funds for more shelter animals, as well as getting the word out about our organization
and the importance of spaying and neutering, members and volunteers have had booths at quite a few events. Thank you everyone who stopped by to donate or buy an item or just to talk! We can't do this without your support.
- Summerfest (June 3, 2006 & June 2, 2007)
The 2007 booth featured Lucky, a dog up for adoption who encountered love at first sight from a young girl (photo above)! He was adopted by the family and found his for
ever home. Cain, the donation dog, raised funds at PCAWL's 2006 booth with his specially made donation vest. Thanks especially to Key Sport and K-Mart, who showed their support by donated items for a raffle. - Pedigree Supports Adoption of Shelter Animals at K-Mart (May 20, 2006 & May 19, 2007) Phelps County Animal Welfare League makes its first official appearance! Across the nation, Pedigree in conjunction with K-Mart designated May 20th as promoting adoption day. PCAWL was there, with a board of photos of shelter animals available for adoption. We know of at least one successful adoption that occurred after an interested passer-by saw our board, and then went to the shelter and adopted. A formlery neglected dog was thus adopted into a good home.
- Rolla Arts & Craft Fair (October 2006 & October 2007)
Sold crafts made by volunteers as well as setup adoptio
n board and handed out brochures. Displayed puppies up for adoption. Special guest appearance by Cain, the donation dog, who earned over $100! Also a special thank you to all the generous people who donated funds. - Leach Theater Event: 101 Dalmations (September 16, 2006)
Setup adoption board to raise awareness of adoption from the shelter and handed out coloring books. - Newburg Day (June 10, 2006)
Setup table in morning and board member Sara Lockard was a judge in the dog contest.
Adoption Booths
To find more good homes for orphan and stray animals, PCAWL volunteers periodically travel to Petco in Jefferson City to try to adopt out some foster animals.
Other Fundraising
Pizza Inn Fundraiser (August 29, 2006 & April 17, 2007)
By waiting tables and washing dishes, PCAWL members have earned nearly $1,000 from tips and a percentage
of the proceeds for the two evenings combined. The funds were much needed for veterinary care for foster animals.
