Donations - THANK YOU from KristyLeeJewelry!

I just want to thank a few kind and generous people who have recently donated cash or supplies to the SRAS (Spring River Animal Services).


Thank You Geri from JC. Your donation helped to buy the dogs new water buckets.


Thank You UNIFORM CENTER for donating the wonderful old park bench (which I restored, painted and stenciled).


Thank You Jerry and Barbara, and Hazel, for donating the money for new cat cages.


Thank You Jerry and Barbara for building them. The cats look (and I am sure 'feel') like they are living in luxury condos now.

Meet my Foster Dog DAISY.

Happy Thanksgiving.
I would like you to meet my new foster dog, Daisy. I am not sure if she is on the adoption pages because as you can see,

she has huge tumors on her stomach/chest area. The shelter is presently raising funds to have those removed. She is a really nice old dog. She has the funniest high pitched howl of a bark but she does not bark a lot. If you would like to help with her surgery or are interested in Daisy, contact the Spring River Animal Services.

KristyLeeJewelry.com donates 20% of all sales towards supplies for the SRAS.

Cassie photos, for Martha

***CASSIE HAS BEEN ADOPTED.*** Yay !!
Cassie is 25.5 pounds and the vet listed her as a "Basset Mix". She is about 29" long. She measures about 19" from the top of her head to her feet. Her tail-end down to her feet is about 14". Her ears are about 5" long. She has a long snout (with a few scars from her old shelter days), great spots, and a long body with short legs.
She loves attention and walks and treats. She is potty trained and does not need/want to be crated. She does not bark (she can but she just doesn't). She has been fixed, had her rabies shot, heart worm check, "Frontline" and also has a brand new PINK sweater. She is so sweet and affectionate. (The sheets are on the sofa because she had just been fixed.) Scroll down a few posts to see another photo of Cassie.
In the photos: the green pillow is 32" long. The Pomeranian/mix dog is 12 pounds and bigger than a normal Pom. The fence/gate is 36" high. Email me if you have any other questions. KL

20% of all sales from KristyLeeJewelry.com will go towards supplies for Spring River Animal Services.

Meet my new Foster dog, Cassie.

***ADOPTED***
This is Cassie. I am fostering her for the SRAS. You can read about her by clicking on this link- Spring River Animal Services / Pet Finder. She is potty trained, does not bark, has been very good with my boy dog, who is smaller than her, and she is just soooo sweet. She is being fixed this week. She will be with me until she is adopted to a good home. I took her to the doggy beauty parlor yesterday and am pleased to announce that she did not have one flea or tick.

Presently 20% of all Kristy Lee Jewelry sales will be going to the Spring River Animal Services, towards the purchase of a small shed that will go right next to the dog kennels, to hold their food and blankets. The shelter is adding 2 extra (needed) stalls to the building so that there will no longer be room for the supplies that have been stored inside the kennel area. After this goal is reached, the 20% will go towards other needed supplies.

Have a nice day!

Kristy Lee Jewelry Update

***ADOPTED***
Hello, I have been offline for a while. --I went on a trip to California that was filled with wonderful surprises! --I have a pile of jewelry, including 'Girlfriends' necklaces, sitting here waiting to be photographed and added to my website... VERY SOON!- -When I got back there were lots of new dogs in the animal shelter that I volunteer at. Although our small town shelter is primitive, the animal control officer and a few other very dedicated volunteers are on the ball with getting projects done. While I was gone they finished the cat house. This past week they had a spay/neuter clinic, a yard sale and are now trying to set the dogs up with indoor/outdoor cages, before the cold winter weather gets here. It seems like every time this shelter gets a break or a big project done, something bad happens. This week their only dryer broke. They used it every day for laundering the dogs blankets. (Shouldn't the city donate a commercial washer and dryer?? or am I in dream land?) --I will keep you posted on my new jewelry listings.
Have a great day !
Kristy Lee

20% of all sales from Kristy Lee Jewelry website will go towards food, medicines, shelter, etc.. for the Spring River Animal Services.

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;

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.
