Some Special Opportunities

You may remember seeing Richard Sean Manning’s breathtaking prints at Puppy Love. If you could not attend or really wish you had purchased an original print by the noted artist and philanthropist, now you can…. and for a great cause!

By visiting The Manning Arts website and purchasing any original works of art, 66% of the proceeds from your transaction will be donated to Pet Pal Animal Shelter!

Tony Korman of Korman Studios has generously agreed to donate 10% of any profits made from the purchase of his items to Pet Pal Animal Shelter. Tony creates beautiful lifelike custom sculptures of your pet. Please visit his site at www.kormanstudio.com. When you place an order, make sure to use the promo code PPAS.

“A Dog by Any Other Name”
Changing the Name of Your New Dog

Sometimes adopting a dog means adopting a dog with a name you don’t particularly like. Any dog can learn a new name, even if it’s completely different from his previous one. Your dog or puppy can be responding to his new name within a week if you use the following tools provided by noted dog authority, Sue Sternberg.

• Decide on any new name you wish for your newly adopted pet.
• For the first few days, carry a pocketful of treats.
• Every once in a while, particularly when you want your dog’s attention, call out his new name and then immediately smile, praise, and feed him a treat.
• Even if he doesn’t turn to look at you when you call out the name, do the aforementioned anyway, and soon he will know that hearing that word means good things are coming, and he will respond as if that word was his own!

Thank you!

When Sage and Sarah were asked to do a "Project of Worth" for Ozona Elementary, they decided that Pet Pal would be the beneficiary. The girls waged a campaign to collect essential items for the shelter. Below, you can see the results of their hard work!



Our mission is to rescue dogs and cats from animal shelters that may otherwise be euthanized due to time limitations, illness, injuries or lack of socialization and training. We are also dedicated to educating the public about the pet overpopulation crisis, the importance of spaying/neutering and responsible pet ownership.

This mission takes a great deal of funding. If you wish to help our cause, please visit our website to make a donation. Donations can be made in honor or in memory of a loved one or a pet.

Please feel free to forward this newsletter to friends. We would like to share our news with as many people as possible! If someone has forwarded this to you, and you want to sign up to receive the newsletter regularly, just use this link.
