H.A.L.O. NEWS

Montie Lucas and Donna Lipe made a trip to Iowa Sept 9th thru the 11th taking the 5 puppies they had been caring for since birth. There were also 10 little pups from Seminole on the trip. Thank you two ladies, for driving all night and saving these dogs. Nine of the 15 were adopted over the weekend! Thanks again to Stephen Davis for the RED ROCKET! For those of you who have not heard. Gabriel Sears was hired by the City council to be our Animal Control Officer. Cat Hasenberg is going to work at the Shelter with Whitney Grizzle. Cat really loves working with the animals more than just picking them up, so it is a win-win for all! Montie Lucas will be retiring in the near future and we will want to have a retirement reception in her honor. As you know she has dedicated her life to the animals at the shelter working long hours caring for the sick one and even taking them home to recuperate. We will let you know when we find out the date for the reception and would love for everyone to attend. The Spay-Ghetti and No Ball Dinner was a huge success! We want to thank all those involved. A Thank you ad was in the Holdenville News today and you can see just how many made this possible! Concrete was poured last month for a foundation for holding pens and some outdoor kennels we hope to buy in the future. Fourteen yards of concrete were finished with VOLUNTEER help from Patrick Andrews, Billy Hanks, Matt Tallant and Cam’ron Schroeder. They did an Excellent job; it is very level and totally awesome! Special thanks to Greg Willis and Kermit A Frank at Dolese Company for the discount on the concrete! Thank you to all involved!
