Here Comes Butters Claus

Here comes Butters Claus!
Here comes Butters Claus!
Right down HERSHEYPARK Lane!
Cartmen and Kenny and all his humans
are pulling on the leash.
Tags are clinking, huskies wooing;
All is merry and bright.
Hang your harness and say your prayers,
'Cause Butters Claus comes Saturday night.

Here comes Butters Claus!
Here comes Butters Claus!
Right down HERSHEYPARK Lane!
He's got a bag that is filled with stuff
for the moms and dads to buy.
Hear those I.D. tags jingle jangle,
What a beautiful sight.
Jump in bed, cover up your head,
'Cause Butters Claus comes Saturday night.

Introducing Weeko

Hi there! I am Weeko. My foster home picked this name cause they say it means "pretty" and that is what I am!

My brother Eudebe and my sister Dyani found homes through TOTTSHR.. before I could get here I was given to a home who decided I was too much work. But I found my way to TOTTSHR now. Hopefully i find a good home soon too! Here I am in my foster home with my new pal Buddy sniffing me and my human brother laying with me. So much better than the last house!

How COOL is this thing??? I want one!!! There are two just sitting in boxes here. The hu-mom says that they are for the Sept. 15th Hike.

*SIGH* we never get to keep the cool stuff! She says who ever raises the most money in pledges gets one plus a whole bunch of other stuff and the third most pledges gets one too.. Wonder what those folk in the middle get? hmmm... Will need to check out the stuff on the table more.

Paws out,
Pandora (one of Butters pals)

PS. isn't that dog cute in the photo? The guy in Colorado who donated them.. that is his husky Takoda!

Did You Know? Lots of ways to Help your local rescue...

This is a Puppy Service Announcement from Sonic the Husky…

Follow-up phone calls:

Need a few people that are willing to make 4-5 calls a month to check up on dogs that have been adopted out already. Follow up ensures that the alumni dogs are doing well and that they are not in need or having behavior issues. Requires up to 2 hours or so a month.

Owner surrender phone calls and e-mails:

We need a few people that are willing to retrieve voicemails and make a few phone calls a week to people who want to surrender their dogs to rescue. Your job is trying to persuade them to NOT take the dog to a shelter but rather to work with our Owner Surrender Program and take the dog on approved adoptions, the same adoptions our foster dogs go to. Requires maybe 2 hours a week.

Shelter intake callers and website checkers:

Your job is to call and ask shelters that we work with if they have any huskies that can be listed on our site and the intake list that is distributed weekly. This is a very important list that we refer adopters to shelters that have dogs in need and we also pick foster dogs from this list. This job requires an hour or so a week.

Sanitation Guru:

Person of the highest qualification to go to foster homes and sanitize their yard. Will need to be friendly and bring their own scooper. Must be able to deal with lots of poop and remember to watch where they walk.

Disclaimer: One of these jobs is a hoax but the others are positions are available. Can you guess which is which? Please help out today!

If you would like to help rescue… it is more than just fostering. Contact your local rescue group today! If you live in NY, PA, NJ, DE, WV, MD, or CT consider giving the folks at Tails of the Tundra a shout! They helped me… who will be next?
