A monthly newsletter for Pleading Paws Pet Rescue
Former Pleading Paws Pet Rescue President resigns I want to thank all fosters, supporters and volunteers who were involved in PPPR during my 4 years as President. We saved 800 animals and YOU made that possible with all your hard work and I can never say thank-you enough for making my dream come true! As for other dreams of mine, I will be continuing in the animal field as my intentions are to work and train as a puppy trainer at Elk River K9 Obedience Training Center. Sasha (my King Charles Cavalier) has decided that agility can be done for fun only, but she would rather compete in obedience, so we are going to start with Rally to help with "Mom's" confidence in the ring and then move on to the stricter obedience. I want to continue therapy work with Sasha and KoKo (my two TDI certified dogs), keep attending classes and seminars on animal behaviors and go on more trail rides with whosever horse will let me! There is even a possibility of attending classes at the new Blaine location for the Minnesota School of Business! So many things I would like to do but so little time! Of course, fostering is still in there sometimes! Good-byes are never easy for me and something I don't do well so, "See you around!" ~ Terresa Slusher, former President

How many animals are euthanized in Minnesota shelters every year?Q AVisit

Turning Homelessness into Happiness is Pleading Paws Pet Rescue's (PPPR) mission statement since it's beginning and it will continue this year even with a change in leadership. Our board members and volunteers consist of original and new members which bring to the table proven concepts that work and new ideas to help make positive changes in the organization. Everyone involved in PPPR believes in it and shares the same desire to help each homeless animal find it's forever home. As President, it won't be easy to pick up where Terresa left off as she had this organization and everyone in it tuned like a well-oiled machine and we all knew what we needed to do, where we needed to go and when we needed to do it! That is a hard act to follow! I have 100% confidence in all involved in PPPR that together we can make a difference for each and every animal that comes into our organization and leaves with it's new family knowing that we found the perfect forever home for it. I look forward to everything I have yet to learn, meeting new volunteers, getting to know the current volunteers, crying tears of sadness when receiving animals that need so much love and tears of joy when seeing them get the love they so deserve. It won't be easy, I know that, but it will be a road worth travelling, especially when I'm not travelling it alone. ~ Pam Trombo, President

Featured FelineMowgliIf you’re looking for character, look no further! Mowgli settles in quickly to any home and is not shy at all. He likes people
and wants to sleep near you. He definitely has grace and presence. He would love a new home to start the new year off!
Prominent PoochMarshaMarsha is waiting patiently for her forever home and when we mean patiently, we really mean it! Marsha was living at Rin Tin Inn Kennels for 3 months while
waiting for a foster home, but now she is appreciating all the luxuries of being part of a family. She's a little lovebug and will politely shake your hand when first meeting you and then watch out, because she'll shower you with hugs and kisses once she gets to know you! She can cover lots of ground very quickly when she runs and makes it look so easy - can you say Agility dog? Marsha and PPPR extend a heartfelt thank-you to Rin Tin Inn Kennels for all the dog manners she learned with hugs, kisses and lots of loving for rewards during her extended stay there. If you would like to donate to Marsha's Kennel Fees please send a cheque or money order to PPPR.

We are excited to announce that we have begun what we hope is a long relationship with a very talented artist. Vigee Blue is a painter living in the St Cloud area. She has generously agreed to donate 20% of the price of any pieces that she does if they are a result of a referral from Pleading Paws. Her work is amazing and also very reasonably priced.
