Lawrence Humane Society Update: June 3, 2011 Event Updates! Saturday, June 4: Pooch Wash at Petco You've been through this many times: summer finally arrives, and with the warm weather your dog is outside ... romping and rolling and getting dirty. So tomorrow take Fido 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. No more blaming him or her for the bad smells on your trips around town (for at least a day or two). All proceeds benefit the shelter animals. Friday, June 10, and Saturday, June 11:  Annual Garage Sale to Benefit the Shelter Animals  Just one week remains until the garage sale, one of our largest fundraisers of the year. Open 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days, the event raises money for our animal care, supplies, equipment, building maintenance and many other critical expenses. It's a great opportunity to clean out your attic, basement, or garage, and help the animals at the same time! We are looking for some volunteers to work the sale and/or organize and price the donated items. In past years it has proven to be a lot of fun and a very rewarding experience (promise!). Send us an e-mail or call 785-766-2314 if you want to help. Look for this building – our sale (and drop offs) will be here! Upcoming Drop Off Schedule  Saturday, June 4: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, June 5: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, June 6: 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 7: 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Have items too large for your vehicle? We can pick them up! Just send us an e-mail or call 785-766-2314. The location for this year's sale (and the place to drop off your donations) is just north of the intersection of 31st & Haskell (see map). It's a yellow building with three big bay doors. Due to storage space limitations, we ask that items donated for the garage sale NOT be dropped at the animal shelter, thank you! All donated items must be complete and in good, working condition. Specifically, we would benefit greatly from donations of furniture, antiques, collectibles, art, electronics, sports & recreation items, household items, office supplies, toys, games, puzzles, videos, DVDs, tools, lawn & garden equipment and books. (No clothing or food please.) Have a great weekend! – Lawrence Humane Society  www.LawrenceHumane.org
