The holidays are a great time to reflect on the year gone by, and anticipate what the coming year will bring. CMHS has had a very eventful 2010, and we couldn't have done it without the help of our wonderful staff, volunteers and supporters!
ZooToo
We did it! On May 11, 2010, we broke ground on our ZooToo Shelter Makeover Contest renovations. Our adoptable animal area went from bare concrete and chain link area quite prone to drafts to the beautiful place it is today! New cage fronts on the dog kennels, new epoxy coating on the floors, a brand new air handling system, a fantastically expanded cat room and more were all made possible by the amazing support CMHS got from the community!
A huge thank you to Mid City Lumber for allowing us to invade their old warehouse all summer long until we moved back into our renovated facility in August!
Good Samaritans
Nearly every day, folks in the community stop their cars in busy intersections or pull over on the highway to rescue a dog running loose. Bringing them to CMHS gives their family a chance to look for them - or, if they don't have a family of their own, they have a chance to find a wonderful new family! We are continually amazed at the generosity of people when they find an animal that has lost its way.
Adoptions
Each year, we adopt thousands of animals into great homes. This year was no different! Our newly renovated lobby hosts two "Happy Tails" bulletin boards featuring animals with their new families. If you adopted a CMHS alum, please stop by with a picture - we love to show off our former residents!
Volunteers
We couldn't do it without you! From manning tables at special events and serving spagetti at our First-Annual Spay-getti Dinner, to running some energy off our dogs or snuggling with our cats, you were, as always, an amazing part of what we do. Thank you for all of your help and support!
May you have a wonderful Christmas, a very happy New Year, and may 2011 bring you joy. Thank you for a wonderful year!
