Friends of the Animal Shelter
The Friends of the Animal Shelter
(FOTAS) and the St. Joseph Animal
Shelter have taken on the project of
building a new animal shelter that
would be a wonderful facility for the
animals, as well as an inviting place for
adults and children to visit and learn
Wags to Wishes: Plans for the new animal shelter about animal care. We think it would
increase adoptions, lower maintenance
costs, provide a healthier atmosphere for
the animals and create a shining symbol
for the city of St. Joseph; a city that
already has a national reputation for
wonderful animal product companies.
Ways to Help
Adopt A Pet - provide a
forever home
Donate - Give to make a
difference
Volunteer – get involved
at the shelter
Foster – open your heart
and home
Please help us build a new shelter!

that the leg be removed to avoid
him wearing sores on the top of his
foot from walking incorrectly.
Danny’s next adventure was the
amputation. They sent him home
with the cone over his head but he
never bothered the incision so we
did not make him wear it. Again,
he did everything any kitten would
do, no realization of limitation
there. After 2 weeks, they removed
the staples and he was finally
finished with that pesky leg
problem.
Danny was no longer a foster cat,
but a very important part of my
family. Danny and my dogs were
buddies and I am in love with him.
He is always happy, loving and
playful. So, as they refer to it when
a foster parent adopts an animal
that they foster, Danny is my "foster
failure" but he is a welcome
addition to our family.

Danny’s Story
By Kathy Stockett
In September, the Shelter staff
picked up a little black kitten with a
broken leg. I was asked to foster a
6-week-old kitten with a broken leg.
My assumption was that he would
be easy to contain and foster for
the 6 weeks because he would be
in the cast. Boy, was I wrong! It was
less than 24 hours before he was up
and over my containment fence.
Faster than any other kitten I had
previously fostered, even though he
had a cast on his right front leg from
his shoulder to beyond his foot
pads. He refused to be separated
from my 2 dogs and me. After the
cast was removed the veterinarian
said to give him 2 weeks to heal
and see if he would begin using his
leg again. Unfortunately, he was
walking on the top of his foot, not
his pads. The vet recommended
Betty Harris bought the stone to honor
her daughter, Jody Acord, and two
Friends of the Animal Shelter volunteers,
Terri Evans and Mary Talbot White. All of
them were diagnosed and died of
cancer. Jody, Terri and Mary all loved
animals, and to honor their memory
and work with and for animals, this
memorial stone was placed outside the
shelter by the animal statues.

About Bo Ernest & Lawanda Worthen came to our pet preview at
UPCO on March 11th to see a 10-year-old Jack Russell mix named Bo they had seen on the city
shelter website. Ernest said that as both he & his wife are seniors, they didn't want to adopt a
young dog that might outlive them & then
would have no one. Also, they felt a senior
dog would fit their lifestyle.
When they walked into UPCO, they saw that
Bo was ignoring the people around him that
were trying to get his attention, but when he
saw Ernest, he just kept staring at him. A
volunteer handed the dog to Ernest, and
Ernest said Bo just laid down in his arms, with
his head-on Ernest's arm & closed his eyes.
Ernest said he has never experienced that
type of moment before and found it very
moving. Needless to say, an adoption took
place and Bo now has a family that
apparently, he picked out.
Success Stories
For Caitlin McGuire’s 5th Birthday, Caitlin
donated dog and cat toys and treats for the
dogs and cats. Happy Birthday Caitlin, and
thank you from all the dogs and cats at the
animal shelter.
Bo has found his forever home!
