Lily is a three-year-old female border collie/Lab mix who would love a home with no cats but she does love other dogs.
Watson here and I’m so excited about Thursday that I could just bark! It’s Thanksgiving Day, my family’s favorite holiday. My mom spends lots of time making yummy food, calling friends and loving on yours truly. Of course I catch her giving the dad hugs and kisses too.
I guess you could say we are grateful for the food, family and love we all share.
For seven years I have had my wonderful home full of love, fun and food. My original family took me to the pound and left me. To this day I have no idea why they sent me away. CAPS came to the rescue and the rest is history.
For all the animals at CAPS, it’s a second chance to find the home of their dreams. The folks out at CAPS are the kindest, gentlest and most dedicated people you could ever hope to meet. My special friend Pauline is the sweet lady who encouraged my folks to come out and meet me. I will always have a special place in my heart for her and in my stomach too because she gives me treats.
CAPS is a testament to the people of Fallon who through generosity, hard work, and lots of volunteers made our no-kill shelter a reality. Who could have ever dreamed the mission of 12 dedicated people would blossom and grow into the fine institution that CAPS has become.
You can see many of the pets who have found the home of their dreams in the new CAPS Happy Endings calendar. Actually you can see me too because I’m one of the calendar boys. I’m the cute one wearing my brown fur coat.
At Thanksgiving we say special blessings for CAPS, our animal shelter and all of the folks who donate time, money and energy keeping CAPS alive.
We are grateful to all of you and hope your Thanksgiving is wonderful.
XOXO Watson and his family
