Sophia Perry with Sgt. Linn

Student Sophia Perry presented $194 to Sgt. Linn at Long Beach Animal Control to be used for the care of pets at Animal Control. Under the guidance of Sophia’s teacher, Mrs. Cohen at Emerson Parkside Academy, Long Beach, CA, a 100-day school project of collecting pledges for the animals turned into a surprise bonus for the cats and dogs awaiting permanent, loving homes. Sophia said she hoped to inspire other kids to make a difference in the world.

Good news! Roadie was visited by two girls who brought their Mom over an hour later. Roadie instantly enchanted Mom...love at first sight. Roadie is so happy with his new home and parents. Roadie is so grateful to The Pet Set as he cried, "I wuv you, Matt."

BULLETIN:  A TOY FOR EVERY ANIMAL

A TOY FOR EVERY ANIMAL.  The City of Long Beach Animal Care Services receives many requests regarding ways to volunteer to help the animals at our shelter. Currently, Animal Care Services is promoting "a toy for each animal", to improve health and wellness.  Chew toys like the Classic Kong help keep animals' minds and bodies engaged, leading to greater health and a higher rate of adoption.

HOW YOU CAN HELP.  The City of Long Beach Animal Care Services has implemented a new program for collecting all sizes of red, rubber KONG Classic toys for shelter dogs in the Animal Village facility.  The irresistible chew toy is indestructible and safe.  It can be easily cleaned and disinfected after each use.

PURCHASING A TOY.  Purchase all sizes of Kong Classic toys directly online or at any pet store.  Either drop them off yourself at the P.D.Pitchford Animal Shelter (ask for Long Beach Animal Care Services) or have them shipped directly to the following address:

Long Beach Animal Care Services

7700 E. Spring Street
Long Beach, CA 90815

Contact: Debra Brubaker, Public Health Associate (562) 570-7387

DONATIONS.  We are working closely with our registered rescue organizations, including Friends of Long Beach Animals (FOLBA ) to obtain toys for the dogs and cats housed at the Village.  Donations to  FOLBA's Toy Program, will go towards the purchase of

    KONG Classic dog toys (and get two for the price of one), or  

Kitty Woofer balls. 

Visit: www.longbeach.gov/acs for more information.

Special Bulletin re Ralphs and Food4Less

PLEASE PASTE THIS INTO AN E-MAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS

Revised Ralphs/Food4Less program for the Friends of Long Beach Animals - please re-enroll now to keep the donations coming to Friends of Long Beach Animals.......

New requirements for the Friends of Long Beach Animals Ralphs and Food4Less donation program

Buy Your Groceries at Ralphs and help the Friends!

If you have a Ralphs or a Food4Less card you can help the Friends and it won't cost you a dime.  Every time you use your Ralphs or your Food4Less card or give your phone number for your Ralphs or Food4Less discount, 4% of your purchases will be sent to the Friends!  If you spend over $500 in one month (maybe December?) then 5% of your purchases over that amount will be sent to the Friends. 

To those of you who have supported us through this program in the past, Ralphs and Food4Less are making some changes and are asking that all participants renew their commitment to the Friends by following the directions below.  You must re-enroll each year to have a portion of your purchases donated.  Please help us keep this source of funds flowing.

1.  Log on to www.ralphs.com
2.  Click on "Community Contribution" in the blue box on the left 3.  Click on "Participant" and fill in requested information

Please enter 84713 in the NPO # field.  That will identify Friends of Long Beach Animals as the recipient of your donation.  If you click on "help" beside the NPO number field and type in "Friends of Long Beach Animals" you will see our number come up. (If you don't know your Ralphs club card number, click on "help".  The instruction says to phone 1-800-660-9003 to obtain the number....it works.  The procedure is painless.  And it is the same 800 phone number if you are a Food4Less customer.)

If you signed up with us last year or even last week you will still need to log on to www.ralphs.com and fill out the form.  They are asking everyone to re-enroll.  If you have not participated in the past this is a great opportunity to start.  The new program began September 1st, so don't delay, please sign up today and swipe your card when you shop at Ralphs or Food4Less.

Ralphs has been a great supporter and sponsor of the Friends.  For the last several years it has been the Title or Platinum sponsor for our annual Walk to Save the Animals.  Let's all support Ralphs and Food4Less by shopping there!!

When you visit the Companion Animal Village, be sure to visit the dogs and cats with Long Beach Animal Control. These lovely animals may be available for adoption.

The memorial (below) was presented by Friends of Long Beach Animals to honor Long Beach Animal Control for saving the life of Taki, the first messenger dog to serve in the war effort.
