Birthday Donations
We want to thank Megan Nair and Kendra Trimbach for their donations to the animal shelter. These two generous children asked for donations to the animal shelter for their birthday instead of gifts for themselves. What a wonderful, thoughtful and caring thing to do! Thank you!

BJ'S Wholesale Club
The shelter would like to thank BJ's Wholesale Club, its employees,and all their customers who donated to the shelter during their goods drive.
On March 20th through April 5th, 2009, BJ's Wholesale Club sponsored a goods drive to benefit local animal shelters at three of their clubs.
We were privileged to be one of the shelters chosen to hand in our wish list and be a recipient of these generous donations at the BJ's Wholesale Club located on 3067 Route 50 in Saratoga Springs.
The shelter received a nice supply of dog and cat food for the animals in our charge.
Thank you for helping BJ's in their response to the overwhelming challenge that shelters are facing in this economic climate.

Wilton Youth Sells Bracelets to Aid The Saratoga County Animal Shelter
(Saratoga Springs, NY) – Madison Dallas (age 9) of Wilton decided to do something different this summer. Rather than trying to make a few bucks by setting up the traditional lemonade stand at the end of the driveway, Madison started her own business called “Madison’s Beaded Creations”. She makes beaded bracelets, most of them with canine related sayings like “dog lover”, “pets rule” and “bark”. Instead of keeping the proceeds from the sale of the bracelets, Madison is donating them to The Saratoga County Animal Shelter.
Madison’s parents, Melanie and Eugene, own the area dog boutique Sloppy Kisses (Downtown Saratoga and Clifton Park Center). Many of Sloppy Kisses fundraising activities benefit The Saratoga County Animal Shelter in their pursuit of building a larger and more modern animal shelter. “I’ve been to the shelter a few times with my mom and dad to donate treats to the shelter dogs. They really need to build a better building for them,” commented Madison. “I love to make these bracelets and thought donating money to the shelter would be a good idea. My goal is to raise $150 before the end of the summer.” Madison’s bracelets sell for $1.00 or $2.00 depending on if they have a clasp or not and can be purchased at Sloppy Kisses. So far, Madison has raised $80. For more information call Melanie Dallas at (518) 587-2207. Click here for info and pic of Madison with her bracelets.
Yappy Hour
On Sunday, May 31st, Sloppy Kisses held their first Yappy Hour at the Backstretch Tap Room and Terrace, 38 Caroline Street in Saratoga Springs. The theme for this Yappy Hour was Beach Party. Red Cottage Photography was there taking pictures of the dogs. For a small donation, the dogs' owners could have the picture made into a magnet. The Saratoga County Animal Shelter was very fortunate to be the beneficiary of the donations received from this event.
A big Thank You to Mike from Red Cottage Photography for taking pet pictures. We received 130.00 from the sale of magnets with the pets picture on them. This donation will be used towards the new facility.
And, of course, a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who participated. Your support is deeply appreciated.
Thank you Sloppy Kisses for the proceeds from the Patriotic Pet Pooch March on July 4th. There were 52 dogs that marched in the parade and $260.00 was raised for the shelter. Eugene and Melanie's goal for next year is to have 100 dogs in the parade. Mark your calendar now and give them a call next year.
