Summer Fun - June Sanctuary Update - Our Companions Animal Rescue

Hi Everyone!

It’s definitely summertime now!! Time to get out and about on big summertime adventures. That’s just as true here at the sanctuary as it is in your homes. The dogs and the cats in our care love their outdoor time, whether it’s dogs heading out and about in the world or cats getting time in their special play yard. It’s that time of year when world is full of opportunity for fun in the sun. It’s also the time of year for me to endlessly complain about the heat. So, as I do each summer, I’m going to sit out my usual wordiness and just let these pictures tell the story of summer for the sanctuary pets. Enjoy!

Given that this is a photo heavy edition of the monthly update, it’s the perfect opportunity to send out a big thank you to the creative genius behind the visuals of these updates, Courtney Schramm. On top of being an awesome dog caregiver, Courtney turns my thematic whims into beautiful visuals for you all each month. Every picture and background you see here, this month and every month, was sourced, captioned, and arranged by Courtney. It’s a huge help and I greatly appreciate her work. Thanks, Courtney!

Hi Everyone!

Jon may be taking it easy this month, but I still have lots to say. And it’s all a big thank you. Our fiscal year ends with June, and it’s a good time to look back at all of the support you’ve given us over the past year. Here at the sanctuary, our wish list supply drives were all big successes, from Feed the Beasts last fall, to spring’s Lion and Lamb promotion, and the current Small Animal Housewarming drive. Your generosity to keep all the critters here well fed and cared for has been overwhelming. As well, organization-wide efforts, like the recent Help Them Heal event, have been wildly successful, and keep all of the great work done throughout our various teams racing forward. And beyond financial contributions, the time our volunteers give is the foundation for all we do and makes this all possible. So as our accounting team makes their final calculations for the 2023/2024 year, just know that the bottom line is that we are so grateful to you all for making this idea a reality. Now get out and enjoy some summer fun!

See you soon!

Rosie

And of Course…Adoptions!!

June was yet another busy month on the cat side of the sanctuary. A wave of cuteness flowed out of here, with Cannoli, Teddy Winkles, Aladdin, Count Maxwell, and Zoey all going home. That made room for Sushi, Posey, and Zatanna to arrive and for Niles to return to us. On the dog side, tiny ball of sweetness Frankie arrived to charm all of the dog staff and volunteers.
