Check out our new page on Talk With Your Animals' website called Newsworthy. As we receive newsworthy e-mails, we will list them on that page. The ones to be the first on the page are articles regarding Rabies shots and PETlane. Also, listed are links for different organizations in Louisiana helping the animals.
Do you want to have fun and at the same time help the animals affected by Hurricane Katrina? How about hosting a PETlane PAWty? Petlane is partnering with its Pet Advisors and PAWty hosts to hold a minimum of 100 Katrina Benefit Pawties by October 31st, 2005. 100% of the money raised will be given directly to the Humane Society of the United States for their major efforts to rescue and shelter companion animals who were stranded in the Katrina Disaster. Susan & Dan Aznoff will be donating their entire Katrina PAWty commission to the Humane Society of the United States. Hosts may choose to continue to donate all or part of their free items during their own Katrina Benefit PAWties. Between the host, the Pet Advisor and Petlane, a donation of up to 35% of all Katrina Benefit PAWty sales will go to companion animal survivors. This program will NOT affect the half-priced items a host can earn for hosting a PETlane pawty. To book your Katrina Benefit Pawty, please call PETlanePals at 425-378-0157 or send us an email at PETlanePals@Comcast.net.
