Thank you for making last year an incredible lifesaving success for the animals. Because<br />
of friends like you, thousands of animals are getting a second chance at the happiness<br />
they deserve.<br />
On the back cover of this edition of The <strong>Shaggy</strong> <strong>Sheet</strong>, you’ll read how we made a difference<br />
in our community in 2023. Over 35,000 animals benefited from our programs and services.<br />
More than 6,000 lost or homeless pets were provided temporary shelter, over 3,000 of them<br />
benefited from our foster program comprised of over 600 foster volunteers. More than 5,000<br />
pets were placed into loving homes and over 190,000 meals were provided to pets in our<br />
community needing assistance through our Peggy’s Pantry.<br />
These are just a few of the many impressive numbers we have achieved with your help. We<br />
also have heartwarming “Happy Tails” to share. We are grateful to those who have adopted<br />
or volunteered, companies and businesses that got involved, and those who donated to<br />
support our mission, vision, and lifesaving work.<br />
On behalf of Peggy Adams and the animals we serve, thank you for all that you do.<br />
Together we are saving lives and building a more humane community.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Sue Berry, CAWA<br />
CEO<br />

Olivia’s Fund allows us to seek specialty surgery and treatment for<br />
the dogs and cats in our care who need it most. Thanks to generous<br />
donations from members of our community, we can continue helping<br />
animals like Blanca, whose unique situations call for life-saving<br />
measures to restore their quality of life.<br />
If you would like to help animals like Blanca,<br />
please consider donating at Peggyadams.org/donate<br />

MISSION MOMENT<br />
Blanca<br />
Five-month-old Blanca arrived at our<br />
shelter as a stray with no microchip.<br />
Soon after arriving, our staff noticed<br />
Blanca having issues with her bladder<br />
that needed immediate attention. She<br />
was born with bilateral ectopic ureters,<br />
causing incontinence, and putting her<br />
at major risk for urinary tract infections.<br />
We knew that without corrective<br />
surgery, she would have no chance<br />
for adoption or a normal life.<br />
Thanks to our Olivia’s Fund we were<br />
able to bring in a board-specialized<br />
veterinary surgeon to perform ureter<br />
surgery on Blanca. The surgery<br />
improved her condition greatly and<br />
although her leaky bladder remained,<br />
it became much more manageable.<br />
Soon after surgery, Blanca went into<br />
foster care for a month to help her<br />
healing process. As she healed, her<br />
sweet and playful personality began<br />
to shine through and a few months<br />
later Blanca was adopted into her new<br />
loving, forever home!<br />
