ADOPTATHON WEEKEND SUCCESS

The volunteers were exhausted and supporters were tired of hearing from us, but the result was phenomenal. A total of 15 dogs and 4 cats were adopted through the two day National Pet Adoptathon Event. One family drove from over 4 hours away to adopt one of our puppies. A skittish but wonderful puppy mill Pekingnese was placed in a foster to adopt home. A beautiful yellow lab female went to a disabled boy to help keep him motivated.
The Responsible for Life photo campaign was a big success. These are the first four posters of the campaign. Posters can be seen on Saturday's at Petco during regular adoption hours.

Filling out paperwork after approval.
One beautiful white Persian-Himalayan found a home with an awesome college girl. NAFA rarely adopts to college students because their lives are so hectic and there are such changes in store for them. However, this exceptional young lady is exactly what NAFA looks for in a forever home.
This family graciously agreed that we could use their photo on our blog.
Jewelry available as Mother's Day gifts along with a card. Please come out this weekend and purchase yours. All monies collected will be used to help care for the Spring animal explosion. We are having lots of mothers and babies surrendered right now.
Microchip Clinic was a success also. Microchips were offered at $15.00 each. NAFA will be holding another Microchip Event this Summer.
Each home was a perfect match for their adoption. Thanks to the volunteers for giving up their weekend to make a better life for these deserving animals.

Congratulations to Jonesboro Animal Control for adopting 10+ animals. Their officers donated Saturday time to hold a special 10 am to 4 pm adoption at their facility.
Thanks,
Tut
