New column, and Furry Friends

The new column is about introspective dating.  If more than three people tell you someting about yourself — believe it! 

 

On another note, a special announcement for Chicagoan pet lovers . . .

 

It is with great regret that we inform you that the FFF Board of Trustees has decided to close Furry Friends Foundation.  We are making a huge push to adopt out our remaining animals as quickly as possible, while sticking of course to our strict placement policies to ensure the best placement.  If you have been thinking seriously of adopting, NOW IS THE TIME!  Please forward this to your friends, family and colleagues.  We currently have 20 dogs either at the shelter or in foster care that need placement prior to Oct 15th.  Additionally, we have about 85 cats or kittens as well, and a handful of guniea pigs. Please check out our website at www.furryfriendsfoundation.com to read about our available animals, and complete a Guardianship Application ASAP if you are interested!

If you have adopted from us in the past, we would like to request that you change your microchip information on your pet.  If you adopted prior to 2006, you can call AVID and request a change in the chip registration (currently set up to Furry Friends Foundation).  The website for AVID is www.avidmicrochip.com, and the telephone number is 800-336-2843.  You will need the chip number, which you can get from your vet if you have your pet scanned there.  If you adopted after 2006, please email and let us know.  We will need to take care of making the changes for you.

Please note that we will still be participating in the following events. The proceeds will go towards placing and caring for our remaining animals:

*Angels with Tails (August 27) 12-5pm – Armitage Avenue between Sheffield
and Halsted.  We will have dogs and cats available to meet!  Please stop by!

*2nd Annual Rummage Sale (August 26-27)  9-5pm - 2122 W. Shakespeare Ave,
Chicago, IL.  Come on out to support us, and do a little (or a lot) of
shopping as well!  If you have any items to donate to the sale, please
contact k@ecogardens.com to arrange a drop off.

Again, we regret to have to pass along this information.

Thank you for your support over the years.

Sincerely,
The volunteers of Furry Friends Foundation
