Gonzo is Available for Adoption

Gonzo has come a long way.   He was dropped off at the pound with a horrible case of ringworm on his nose.   He was eaten up with parasites, and he was not at all social with people.   He would just stand in the corner of his cage, with his head down avoiding all eye contact.    To overcome his shyness, we had to take him into foster care.  He slowly learned to trust his foster family, and now is coming out of his shell.   He is still shy, but he is gaining confidence with each new day.  His ringworm has been cured, and his doubled in size in just a few weeks.   He's going to make a very loyal companion!

Thanksgiving Dessert Sale

Nothing beats homemade pie!
Except maybe bacon.

Take a break from cooking this Thanksgiving, and let FOPCP do dessert!   On Tuesday, November 22nd, we will be having a Thanksgiving Dessert Sale at the Clay City Family Dollar store from 4pm to 8pm.   We will have plenty of homemade pies, cakes, and desserts to choose from.  And all of the proceeds will benefit our rescue efforts, helping us fund vetting and transports so that the homeless animals of Powell County can find new forever families.    

And if you have any special requests, let us know!   Email us at info@fopcp.com and tell us what kind of pie your family loves, and we will be sure to have some on hand.  

We are very thankful for our community support, and the animals are thankful as well!   

Pictures with Santa!

Our own Kyle Lucas will be Santa.  
He grew this beard just for the part!

You don't have to drive to Lexington to get pictures of your kids with Santa.  You can get them done right in Stanton!   FOPCP is having our first "Pictures with Santa" at the 14th Annual Christmas Bazaar at the Senior Citizens' Center.   It's Saturday, December 3rd from 9 am to 5 pm.   5"x 7"pics will be printed and available at the Bazaar for $8 each.  We will also provide an internet link to download your photos after the event is over.    All proceeds will be used for vetting and transporting so that our animals can find new forever homes.  Plus, the Christmas Bazaar will have arts, crafts, jewelry, treats, Avon products, primitive decor items and much, much more!  It's gonna be a blast!  Come on out!  Its for a good cause!

Looks like a Norman Rockwell painting, doesn't it?

Spay & Neuter Financial Assistance

WOW, we have had a lot of inquiries about our new Spay & Neuter financial assistance program!  And we want to make it easy for anyone to apply.    There are applications available at The Powell County Library and The Powell County Animal Shelter.  We can also email you an application.    Just email us at info@fopcp.com and we will respond.

We are proud to be able to offer those animal lovers in financial need help, and encourage EVERYONE that needs help to apply.

Happy Tails!

We have a couple of happy tails to pass along.

Do you remember Reese?   Well, she just celebrated her 1st birthday.   Her new owners said they may have gone over the top!

Reese celebrates her 1st birthday.

We also heard back from Unity (now named Layla).  To our surprise, Layla is believed to be a rare breed of dog called a Carolina Dog.   How on Earth a rare breed ends up in our pound is beyond us!   Layla now lives on a horse farm that specializes in dressage training.   She is very happy, and she is a bit spoiled.  After a hard day of horse training, she gets to snuggle with her new owner in bed.   

Layla on the farm!

We always love to hear where our animals are!  So if you have a story, let us know!

October was an AMAZING month!

Oakley's new parents have really fallen for him!

Wow, this month has been just amazing for FOPCP.   First, we received two grants which has allowed us to start PALS, a Spay & Neuter program for low-income families.  We encourage ANYONE who needs their pets altered but cannot because they are in financial need...PLEASE apply for PALS financial assistance.  We need to get the animal over-population under control in Powell County.

Second, we have broken our own rescue record in one month!   In October, FOPCP has intercepted 51 animals!   This success is partly due to the fact that we have a new foster family helping us (AND WE CAN ALWAYS USE MORE FOSTER FAMILIES!).   Plus, our transports have increased dramatically.    During our last transport, we moved 32 dogs to no-kill shelters in the northeastern United States!  It's a great start, but there is still much more that we need to do.

I'm raking in the love from my new forever family!

And on top of all that, we have had quite a few adoptions!  Oakley was adopted, and as you can see by his cute photos, he's really enjoying the fall weather.

ADOPTED!

Rio was just adopted!  How can you resist that face???  Rio is such a sweetie, and his new family is thrilled to welcome him into their home.   

ADOPTED!

Adelle, the perfect dog, was adopted by a rescue foster family in New Jersey.   Adelle has been renamed "Wink," because she only has one eye.  She's got a wonderful new family, and we couldn't be happier for her!

ADOPTED!

Beautiful Renelle has a new home in North Carolina!   Autumn Chandler transported her this weekend!  Thank you so much for your help!

ADOPTED!

LT was adopted!   LT's owner passed away, and he had been searching for a family for quite some time.    A relative of his owner fell in love with him, and now he's got a forever family!

And Crystal, one of the kitties fostered at Dr. Brammel's office, has found a forever home.    These are just a few adoptions.    But as long as there are still homeless animals, we're gonna keep finding them homes.   We thank everyone for your support!   We could not have had this much success without the support from our beloved community and friends!
