| Friends,
The
4th of July is just a week away! Before you finish packing your
cooler with barbeque fixins' and pull out your firecrackers, take a
moment to read this newsletter and learn how YOU can protect your
pets on one of the most dangerous holidays of the year. And, while
you're at it, maybe you'll enjoy some of the other news below about
how you can help homeless Hoosier pets this summer. Enjoy this
newsletter, and thank you for all you do to support our mission of
helping Indiana's neediest animals!
Stars, Stripes & Healthy Pets Forever - Protect Fluffy
& Fido This Fourth of July!  Did you know that the 4th of July is
one of the most dangerous holidays for our furry friends? July 5th
is the busiest day of the year for animal shelters, who are
inundated with pets who panicked at the noise of firecrackers and
fled into the night, winding up lost, injured or killed. Click
here to read our 5-step press release to keep your pets safe, or

here to read our detailed "Points To PAWnder" on 4th of July
safety.
Indiana-PAW E-Bulletin Boards Offer Something For
Everyone
A puppy looking for a home.
| Are you looking for adorable
puppies in need of a home? Looking for interesting news
articles involving animals or animal welfare issues? Trying to
find a lost
animal's owners? Want to learn about how to protect your pets
during the hot
summer weather? No matter what you're looking for, Indiana-PAW's
e-bulletin
boards can probably help! This week, for example, we have
interesting news articles about pet-friendly
real estate and a pit
bull recovering from a feline attack (yep, you read that right).
We're also featuring photos of darling
homeless puppies for whom our Foster Parent Supervisor, Tammy
Fraser, is attempting to find permanent homes. Click
here to visit our e-boards.
Terre Haute Humane Society Needs Help  The Terre
Haute Humane Society (a hardworking shelter that Indiana-PAW
recently visited and videotaped) has asked Indiana-PAW to help get
the word out that the shelter is very full and adoptions have been
slow, putting animals at risk. They would be thrilled and grateful
for help from breed specific rescue groups who have space for
animals, and from foster parents. If you can help, please e-mail
Sharon Mattison, the shelter's Rescue Coordinator at slmcpa@aol.com.
Thanks!
Cats Haven Could Use Supplies!  One of Indiana-PAW's favorite local
animal welfare agencies, Cats
Haven, is extremely busy this summer caring for momma cats and
their kittens. We are therefore encouraging our constituents to
consider donating clay litter, kitten food, paper towels and Clorox
Clean-Up to help Cats Haven with their good work. If you can donate
a small item, please contact Cats Haven volunteer Sue Hobbs at susan@pjfuzzypaws.com.
Thank you, guys!
Become Part Of The Indiana-PAW "Foster Program Booster
Club"
Barkely, Freckles, Studs Terkel, and
Punkin received life-saving foster care from an Indiana-PAW
foster parent. | Do you want
to help save the lives of animals in local shelters who are at risk
for euthanasia, but you just can't open your home up to offer foster
care (maybe because you have pets of your own, small kids, or live
in an apartment)? Well good news: you can STILL HELP save these
animals lives, by joining the Indiana-PAW Foster Program Booster
Club! Our foster
program offers lifesaving assistance to hundreds
of animals who local shelters would otherwise be forced to
euthanize. A minimal donation of $50 will earn you a spot in the
Indiana-PAW Foster Parent Booster Club, and will earn you
recognition on our website,
an invitation to an annual foster parent appreciation dinner, and
bi-annual photos of at least two animals whom your donation has
helped. Click
here to make your minimal donation of $50 to join the
Indiana-PAW Foster Parent Booster Club, and THANK YOU for your
support!
Thanks to all of our readers for all you do for Indiana
animals!
