Lawrence Humane Society Update: July 4, 2011
Happy Independence Day!
Spectacular fireworks light up our skies tonight to celebrate the Fourth of July, but please remember this can be a scary time for many animals. Help reduce the stress on your pets by keeping them indoors as much as possible. Most animals are comforted by our presence, so minimize the time your pet is left alone when loud noises are nearby.
Upcoming Events
Tuesday, July 5: 10% Tuesdays at the Bird Dog
You MUST try the Bavarian-style soft pretzels with beer cheese dipping sauce! From 5 to 9 p.m. every first Tuesday of the month, the Bird Dog restaurant and bar at The Oread hotel, 1200 Oread Ave., will donate 10% of your pre-tax purchase to the Lawrence Humane Society. See the Bird Dog Bar menu online. No coupon or ticket is required for this promotion.
Saturday, July 9: Pooch Wash at Petco
It's been a hot summer and everyone has been having fun outside. Someone's had a little too much fun. Better take that stinky pooch of yours out to Petco, 3115 Iowa, for a much-deserved bath at the Lawrence Humane Society’s "Pooch Wash."
Trained volunteers will give your “best friend” a Saturday scrub for only $8. All you have to do is bring in your canine companion(s), and we'll get 'em clean and smelling sweet. All proceeds benefit the shelter animals.
Stuff We Need
Here's some items we could use, if you're out at the store and want to grab a little extra for us: laundry detergent, cat litter, and blue Dawn dish detergent. See our complete wish list for other ways you can help the shelter animals.
Dont' Forget: Vote Today and Every Day!
Help us win $1000! In celebration of McGrew Real Estate's 60th Anniversary, the Lawrence Humane Society has been designated as a recipient for a monetary donation. Voting will determine how much we receive, with a top prize of $1000. Vote once per day through July 14 -- voting is free!
Hope you're having a great holiday weekend!
