Animal Shelter, My Rude Awakening



***ADOPTED***
I know this is my jewelry Blog but since I have discovered our local animal shelter, it just seems more important right now to focus on saving our animals and their only home.
Yesterday I went to the shelter to walk dogs and they told me that 13 of the dogs had been put down (killed) the previous day. Most of these dogs were healthy, but according to the city there were just too many dogs in the shelter.
I am devastated.
Is this how it is everywhere?

You can adopt these animals and LOTS of others at the Arkansas
"Spring River Animal Services".

With every purchase you make on Kristy Lee Jewelry I donate 20% in food, medicines and supplies to the shelter .

Mama Boxer Dog needs to be Adopted.


I call this one "Mama" because she had puppies and they have all been adopted out. She sits in her cage alone now. She is kind, quiet and gentle. When we took a break from our walk the other day she tried to sit in my lap.....of course I let her.
She can be adopted from SPRING RIVER ANIMAL SHELTER, in Cherokee Village, Arkansas.

I now donate 20% of all purchases from my Kristy Lee Jewelry website towards food, medicine and supplies for the shelter.

Adopt this dog PLEASE



This dog breaks my heart. He was brought in to the shelter last Friday. His owner was found dead and had been for days, so the dog was running around the neighborhood on his own. He was attacked by something and came to the shelter with an inch deep gash in his neck.
I gave him extra special attention on Friday and he showed his appreciation by rolling over to let me pet his stomach. He is so calm and sweet. You can only imagine what this poor baby is going through...missing his owner and not understanding why he is in this weird new place.
I think he is maybe some kind of Terrior / Pitbull mix???

ROSIE - Adopt a dog or cat in Arkansas


This is Rosie. She is a very shy and lonely dog. She has mange over most of her body. If you can get her out of her house she will let you pet her. She is so sweet and quiet and health-wise she is the most sickly of the dogs at the shelter. It will just take a nurturing soul and a little medical care to make Rosie happy again.

You can find out how to adopt a pet, donate and volunteer your time or skills, by contacting the shelter; http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/AR211.html or calling;

From now on I will donate 20% of all of my jewelry sales, from KristyLeeJewelry website, towards food, medicine and supplies for the shelter.
I am so passionate about this because there are so many strays here and this shelter is in a constant struggle to stay in operation....not enough funding, volunteers or support.

For those of you who donated, thank you so much for your generosity. I will keep you posted on the animal shelter. I will be introducing you to my favorite friend there, Rosie. She will warm and break your heart.
Meanwhile
