A
New EASY Way to Help Out RCHS!
Add
the Riley County Humane Society toolbar to Internet Explorer or
Firefox. Once you add the toolbar, each time you shop at one of
the more than 1,300 participating stores, a percentage of what you
spend will be donated to us at no extra cost to you! You could
even save money as the toolbar provides coupons and deals. The
toolbar also has a search box and each time you search the Internet,
about a penny is donated to us. No registration is required!
Click this link to get the toolbar: http://www.goodsearch.com/toolbar/riley-county-humane-society-rchs

Foster
Homes Urgently Needed!
We have an immediate need for both dog and cat foster homes.
Remember, we do not have a facility and rely on a network of
foster homes to save lives. RCHS pays for all of our foster
animal's expenses, all we ask for is your time and love.
To hear about an RCHS foster's personal experience, click on the video
below (make sure your computer's sound is turned on):
Do
you have a place in your heart for this special needs kitty?
Angie
is a 2 year old,
spayed female kitty looking for her forever home. She is very
sweet and as you can see, is absolutely beautiful. However,
Angie
is also deaf, and needs a home without small children. Angie
is
microchipped and up-to-date on vaccines. If you are
interested in
adopting Angie, please contact us at rchshumane@yahoo.com

A
Pet's Ten Commandments
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years.
Any
separation from you is likely to be painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want
of me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for
my
well-being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't
lock
me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your
entertainment, but I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand
your voice when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, before you strike me,
remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or
uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me.
Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the
sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
9. Please take care of me when I grow old.
You too,
will grow old.
10.
On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you
can't bear to watch. Don't
make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there,
because I love you so. ALWAYS!
"The
greatness of a nation
and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are
treated." ~ Mahatma Gandhi
