Lydia Hollo-
way is sharing
her many talents with ACARF by establishing a website that sells many
clever and custom-made items and
K.J., a beautiful Golden Retriever, was accepted by the Golden Re-triever Rescue in Nebraska (GRRIN). Rescue organizations have no shelter facilities, and all the animals are housed in private foster homes until they are adopted. Be-cause they are breed-specific, all
foster families are familiar with the breed and their behavior characteristics, but to be accepted there must be a home avail-able. Their adoption procedures are generally rather stringent and the requirements geared toward finding the perfect home to fit the specific needs of the dog. We can be assured that K.J. will be well cared for until he finds his Forever Family.

Good News
For K.J.
The shelter hosted a group of children from the Humboldt Co-op Preschool last week. They toured the facility and viewed a video about ACARF. Their teacher is Danielle Smith.

It’s that time again! Thanks to Larry Macha for mowing the lawn and to Bud Jones for doing the trimming. And have you noticed that Jim Smith has planted some maple trees on the west side of the building where the Memorial Garden is planned? Keep watching as the garden begins to take shape!.

Spring is the time we begin to shake off the dol-drums of the winter and begin to revitalize our sur-roundings. That’s what’s happening in the shelter lobby these days. Julie Payne purchased cabinets and a desk to place against the south wall, and with the assistance of Dawn Murray and Bob Haberland has been kept busy putting cabinets to-gether and rearranging computers, printers, and cables. Lots of things are being moved and im-proved! There will be more storage and better workstations for those at the front desk.
Thank you!
Reorganize! Rejuvenate!
Did you notice the number of adoptions the last two weeks? Wow!

Skip Becker has started training for work in the Second Chance. Many know Skip from her work at Thrive Allen County, but she’s a long-time resident who’s well-known to many. She had a booth in a flea market for a long time, so is well-versed in merchandising, and is anxious to again become active after having surgery. She will make a wonderful addition to our staff! Emily Clous, though, is a relative newcomer to the Iola area, having moved here with her husband from Michigan. She loves all animals and worked as a foster with the Southwest Michigan Humane Society. Although a Biologist by vocation, she has many talents to share—and we plan to take advantage of them all!
Thank you!
Welcome, New
Volunteers!

Multumesc There are 465 different languages in which to say “thank you”, but there are many more things for which to be thankful. The request for food items for the Expo food booth fundraiser brought all the requested items, thanks to Emy Platt and to Deanne Burris and to several uni-dentified donors. With all the help, the weekend was a big boon to the fundraising cof-fers to benefit the shelter. The number and quality of items donated to the Second Chance continues to astound, as do the number of customers. Please know that your support is appreciated in all 465 languages.
