I think this is such a cute idea that I had to share it with everyone. I wish our local Humane Society did things like this!
On August 18, 2012, you can go out and enjoy time with your dog to support the Hawaiian Humane Society. You will be able to enjoy dinner with your dog from one of the local food trucks. You and your furry friend will have a blast visiting the craft tables and businesses who will be selling both human and dog products.
If you have old papers and records you would like shredded, Shred-It will be on-site as well. You can bring up to three (3) boxes of papers to shred to the event. The company is asking for a $5 donation for each box you bring for shredding.
Of course the Hawaiian Humane Society will be there, too. The organization will be offering microchips and nail trimming for dogs for only $15 for both services or $10 for one service!
Everyone who attends the event will also have a chance to win a four-night stay at either the California Fremont or the Main Street Hotel in Los Vegas. The prize package includes air fare, hotel, transportation to and from the airport, and meal coupon. To enter the drawing, make a donation of $10 for one ticket. You can purchase 5 tickets for $40. The drawing will be held at 7pm and you must be present at the time of drawing in order to claim the prize.
Doggie Date Night will be held on August 18 from 3-8pm at Aloha Stadium. All the proceeds from the event will go to support the Hawaiian Humane Society. If you would like more information about this event, you can visit the Hawaiian Humane Society website here or call 356-2224.

Help the Indianapolis Humane Society, Make Great Gifts
From November 27 through December 2, you can help the Indianapolis Humane Society and get great holiday gifts at a discount as well. If you bring one of the Humane Society's wish list items to the Color Me Mine in Carmel, you will receive 50% off your studio time on a visit from November 27 through December 2, 2011.
At Color Me Mine, you can pick out a ceramic piece and paint it yourself in the studio. Once you are done painting, the staff will glaze and fire the ceramic for you. When it's done being glazed and fired, you can pick it up to take home. Hand-painted ceramics make great holiday gifts for friends and family.
The items on the Indianapolis Humane Society wish list are: lint rollers, window cleaner and paper towels, stainless steel water and food bowls, disposable latex gloves, bleach or laundry detergent, nylobones, cat and dog treats, cat toys, squeeze cheese, non-clumping cat litter, canned cat food, tall kitchen bags, hand sanitizer, leashes and collars, canned dog food, and copier paper. One or more items on the wish list equals one discount per person.

Take Your Cat to the Vet Week
This week (August 22 through 28) has been declared as Take Your Cat to the Vet Week. You’re probably wondering why such an event is needed. Unfortunately, the CATlyst Council and the American Humane Association estimate that even though cats outnumber dogs in the U.S. by 15 million, cats see the veterinarian half as often as dogs. In fact, Feline Pine, which founded Take Your Cat to the Vet Week, surveyed feline owners in 2009 and discovered that fewer than half of the owners took their kitties to the vet for checkups unless they were ill. However, the American Veterinary Medical Association recommends that felines visit the veterinarian twice a year for checkups.
CatChannel speculates there are a few reasons pet parents do not take their cats to the vet as often as they should. First, it is difficult to get a cat into his or her carrier. Oftentimes, when you pull out the carrier, a cat will bolt under the bed or the couch and is difficult to capture.
When I take my kitties to the vet, I pick up one of my cats while my roommate gets the carrier ready. It is definitely easier to get a cat into a carrier when you have two people on the task. However, if you do not have anyone to help you get your feline into his or her carrier, you might want to put your kitty into the bathroom and then get the carrier out. Take the carrier into the bathroom with you and shut the door. This will ensure your cat does not have a lot of room to run around or things to hide under.
Another great idea is to help your cat get used to, and even like his or her carrier. Petfinder has some tips on how you can get your pet to like his or her carrier. You can read the tips here.
I speculate another reason pet owners do not take their felines to the vet as often as is recommended is that the vet can be expensive. If your kitty does not have many medical problems, you might want to look into pet insurance, which will help cover the cost of preventative vet care. If you are on a limited or fixed income, do an Internet search for “low-cost veterinary care” in your city and state. Many states offer low-cost vet care for individuals who cannot afford to pay full price for their pet’s vet visits.
Even though vet visits may be stressful for both you and your feline, they are very important. Cats are very good at hiding health problems from humans. If you do not notice subtle changes in your cat’s behavior, he or she can suffer for weeks or months before you notice that he or she may not be feeling well. You can read more on how to tell if your cat may be sick in my posts How to Tell if Your Cat is Sick - Part 1 and Part 2.
Regular checkups can help diagnose and treat diseases such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, arthritis, and kidney failure earlier, which could mean less suffering for your furry friend and less expensive treatment for you as well.
Regular vet visits are beneficial for both you and your furry friend. If you haven’t been to the veterinarian in the past six months, I really encourage you to schedule an appointment for your kitty soon.

Paula Abdul Auctions Clothes to Help Animals
Paula Abdul, a judge on the television show, American Idol, is currently holding an auction for thousands of pieces of designer clothes to help benefit the Americans Humane Association's Pets and Women's Shelters programs, the Petco Foundation, and Guide Dogs of America.
The auction, which started on June 29, is being conducted with Auction Cause, a company that uses eBay to help raise money for various causes.
Abdul is the spokesperson for the PAWS program. The PAWS program allows victims of domestic violence bring their pets to the shelter with them. The program allows the pets to stay on-site rather than being housed elsewhere in order to provide the animals with safety and victims of domestic violence with a source of comfort and unconditional love while they are undergoing the transition from an abusive relationship.
Abdul is auctioning off thousands of pieces of designer clothes - some worn and some not. Some of the designers include, but are not limited to: Westwood, Dulce and Gabbana, Pucci, Zac Posen, and Burberry. Abdul will donate 10% of the proceeds to the PAWS program. She will also make private donations to Guide Dogs of America and the Petco Foundation.
The auction will be running for the next few months, according to Cat Channel and new items will be added daily. If you would like to check out the auction, please visit Abdul's eBay site.

Kitties need good homes in Denver
Rumor has it that the Denver Humane Society is closing because they lost their funding due to bad press.
They have a lot of cats that need good homes. If you want a kitty (or another kitty), please adopt from them.
They may even give you the kitty for free.
A friend of mine reports that if they don't find homes for the kitties, they will have to euthanize them.
Please pass this information along to anyone who may benefit from it.
Thanks!
