To the rescue: cats and dogs

Carol Hawn-Miller and Cindy Liggett are local animal advocates who work to save the lives of homeless cats and dogs. In 2001 they founded Kitty and K-9 Connection, a non-profit rescue/foster/adoption program. In this blog, they will discuss the issues around the numerous homeless cats and dogs in Anchorage, and the process of placement, including animal and human behaviors that lead to success or failure. They are pictured here with Gladys on Carol's knee, Cherri in the middle, and Ambrosia the cat on Cindy's lap.

Let's All Help The Alaska SPCA Win $1 Million

After working about 160 hours in the last two weeks putting together a huge Yummy Chummies order, I now have time to catch up on a few things...writing thank you notes, processing adoptions of KKC pets, reading mail, blog, etc. In the mail, I received a wonderful newsletter from the Alaska SPCA. I have enjoyed the entire newsletter...if you did not get one, let them know and request one at 344-3622.

As you can guess, in these difficult economic times donations to pet rescue programs are down (quite a bit). The Alaska SPCA has come up with a great way to improve this situation for their rescues. In their newsletter under the heading "Help Us Win Up to $1 Million" they explain they are participating in a national contest sponsored by the popular internet site zootoo.org. The winner of the contest will receive up to $1 million in renovations...and as we all know, they do have a terrific but small facility. If you have access to a computer, here is how you can help: log on to www.zootoo.com/reg/aff/alaskaspca2; register and affiliate with the Alaska SPCA; start earning points through activities on Zootoo.com. The more active you are on Zootoo.com as an affiliate of Alaska SPCA, the more points they receive.

Talk about an easy way to help. It takes a little bit of your time, but it is definitely worth is. Think of the lives you will help save...what an awesome opportunity to make a difference for many.

Let's all join in and help the Alaska SPCA with this fundraiser!

If you can donate, money, kitty litter, pet food, pet treats, etc., that would be a wonderful gift to any pet in any rescue program...all donations are gladly welcomed and so greatly appreciated.

Log on to Zootoo.com and lets all help the Alaska SPCA!!!

Happy Holidays...Carol
