Where Olivia is Today…<br />

Update from Olivia’s mom: Maureen Wheat<br />

I first met our sweet Olivia while leading prospective<br />

volunteers on a tour through the kennels of Peggy<br />

Adams Animal Rescue League. My eyes were drawn to<br />

the Boxer/Pointer mix with big brown eyes begging us<br />

to stop and pay attention to her. Immediately smitten<br />

with Olivia, I vowed to do everything to help find her<br />

a forever home.<br />

Her medical challenges<br />

were many and<br />

included a displaced<br />

patella, hip<br />

dysplasia, muscle<br />

atrophy, and<br />

BB pellets<br />

embedded in<br />

her legs. The<br />

prospect of<br />

the high cost<br />

of surgery kept<br />

many people from<br />

adopting her, but Peggy<br />

Adams refused to let her<br />

medical needs stand in the way<br />

of her finding a forever home. Peggy Adams would<br />

arrange for Olivia’s surgery once a foster home was<br />

found for her recovery.<br />

My family agreed to provide that foster home so that<br />

she could have the surgery and find a forever home.<br />

Olivia was the perfect patient and never complained.<br />

She always showed her gratitude with a sloppy lick<br />

and thumping of the tail. Our whole family, including<br />

Jasper, (our Rat Terrier adopted from Peggy Adams)<br />

fell in love with her and decided to adopt<br />

her forever.<br />

Eight years later, we have celebrated each day Olivia<br />

has blessed our family. She protects us and makes us<br />

laugh with her antics while loving us unconditionally.<br />

When I had life-saving surgery, Olivia did not leave<br />

my side during my own recovery – ever loyal and<br />

protective.<br />

These<br />

days, we<br />

all live in<br />

Santa Fe, NM.<br />

As Olivia ages gracefully, she has become an avid bird<br />

watcher, sun dog, and snow catcher. She, who has<br />

every reason to be mistrustful and leery of others,<br />

shares her love and gratitude with everyone she meets.<br />

If not for Peggy Adams, Olivia would not be here<br />

living a life full of love, unlimited dog treats, and<br />

endless bird watching. Instead, she may have ended<br />

up as a hopeless, sad statistic. Peggy Adams created<br />

a special fund in her honor to help other animals<br />

coming in with serious medical needs. Out of our<br />

appreciation for the effort Peggy Adams has made and<br />

love for Olivia, we decided to make an impactful gift<br />

to help support “Olivia’s Fund” through a charitable<br />

gift through our estate plans. By doing so, we know<br />

that other dogs and cats with special medical needs<br />

will have a second chance of finding a forever home<br />

and to live their lives filled with love.<br />

My family hopes you will find your way to celebrate<br />

Olivia and the animals whose lives have been and will<br />

be saved through the extraordinary measures that<br />

Peggy Adams takes through Olivia’s Fund by making<br />

a gift to support this important work.<br />

HAPPY TAILS<br />

“<br />

We adopted Truffle<br />

in September of 2019<br />

and she is the love<br />

of our lives. We<br />

renamed her Mila<br />

and she learned<br />

her name in a<br />

week! She is so<br />

smart! She was<br />

part of the Good<br />

Dog Program at<br />

Peggy Adams and<br />

already knew how to sit.<br />

Mila<br />

Now she knows shake, lay down, roll over, play<br />

dead and sit up! She absolutely loves everyone and<br />

everything. She loves finding palm fronds and sticks<br />

on our walks and trotting around to show them off to<br />

the neighbors! She makes everyone smile everywhere<br />

we go! She even loves the groomers and the vet! When<br />

we brought her back to adopt her after fostering, she<br />

was so excited to be there and see everyone! That’s<br />

how great Peggy Adams is. She is just the goofiest and<br />

most loving munchkin and I’m so lucky to be her<br />

forever mommy. She has brought such joy to our<br />

lives and reminds us every<br />

day what is important<br />

in the world. We<br />

thank you every<br />

day for giving<br />

us our Mila.”<br />

– Laura<br />

“This is Zuzu<br />

Zuzu (formerly known<br />

as Zoey) who has<br />

become our little<br />

darling. We named her<br />

Zuzu after George Bailey’s<br />

daughter in ‘It’s A Wonderful<br />

Life.’ She’s 13 and we wanted to give her a wonderful<br />

life when we took her home. She enjoys car riding,<br />

sleeping, eating ground chicken and short walks<br />

on sunny days. Zuzu loved unwrapping Christmas<br />

presents and meeting her Atlanta cousins. Getting<br />

along with cats is important around here and Zuzu fits<br />

right in. The cats are cool with her and she’s chill with<br />

Salem<br />

them. Maggie, our 14-year-old poodle, is very patient<br />

and accepting of her new sister. We are blessed to<br />

have this tiny angel in our lives. We’re so happy she’s<br />

in ours.” – Lisa and Don<br />

“As you can see from<br />

the picture that my<br />

'Meowmy' took, I<br />

have settled in really<br />

nice with my family.<br />

I also have a brother<br />

who protects me…<br />

and, from time to<br />

time, I must remind<br />

who is the Queen in<br />

the house. Thank you for<br />

following up about me and<br />

my family.” – Chanel (formerly<br />

CakePop)<br />

Chanel<br />

“Salem is loving his new home!<br />

His personality shows in<br />

everything he does.<br />

He is carefree, a<br />

great snuggler and<br />

absolutely perfect in<br />

every way. He is a<br />

whopping 7.8 pounds<br />

now. His new favorite<br />

thing to do is knock<br />

mom's makeup off<br />

the counter. He will do<br />

absolutely anything for<br />

a delicious treat. I'm just as<br />

happy as he is having him in my<br />

home. He is a pleasure to come home to every day.<br />

He has definitely found his furever home.” – Jennifer<br />

“We are so thankful Isla is a part of our family. She<br />

has adjusted very quickly and is the most gentle and<br />

patient dog ever. She is amazing with the boys and<br />

they adore her. She learns incredibly fast and was<br />

potty trained within a few days of arriving home.<br />

(continued on next page)<br />

MORE HAPPY TAILS<br />

She loves to give high<br />

fives for a treat. At<br />

first, she did not<br />

Isla<br />

like to take walks,<br />

but now she<br />

loves walking<br />

with our son<br />

to school in<br />

the morning.<br />

She likes to sleep<br />

up on the window<br />

ledge and keep an<br />

eye on things. She always<br />

alerts us when landscapers arrive.<br />

We love that she lets us know when someone<br />

outside of the family is around.” – Kate<br />

“I've had Mouse for 3 months now and to say he has<br />

adjusted well is an understatement. Although he is<br />

high energy and always<br />

ready to run, I was<br />

very impressed<br />

with his training.<br />

He loves<br />

attention and<br />

being around<br />

people and if<br />

it were up to<br />

him, he'd<br />

cuddle all day.<br />

He was at Peggy<br />

Adams because of<br />

a past behavior<br />

problem, but I did not hold<br />

Mouse<br />

that against him, and he has been the sweetest. I'm so<br />

happy I made the choice to adopt and maybe one day<br />

soon he will have a little brother or sister to play with<br />

from the same facility! Here is a pic from one of our<br />

outings.” – Cresha<br />

“<br />

– THE NOLEN STORY –<br />

Lynn and I decided to adopt a dog after our last cat<br />

died. After Hurricane Dorian destroyed the Marsh<br />

Harbor area and spared us, we decided to adopt a<br />

Potcake sheltered there. Being a big supporter of<br />

Peggy Adams, we were one of the first potential<br />

adopters to visit the Potcakes sheltered there. At that<br />

point, we narrowed it down to eight dogs we liked.<br />

Once the quarantine period was over, we picked two<br />

dogs – Mona Lisa and Leo. They had come over from<br />

the Bahamas together. They looked like brother and<br />

sister, so we could not separate them. I am sure that<br />

they have been through a lot!<br />

They have brought us so much joy. It is so much fun<br />

watching the two play together. Potcakes are smart<br />

dogs. We hired a dog trainer and she taught us some<br />

good tricks. Our next challenge is getting them<br />

comfortable walking on a leash. We may need the help<br />

of the trainer again. It is a new experience for them<br />

and for us.” – Mickey and Lynn Nolen<br />

MOTHER KNOWS BEST<br />

Kitten Season <strong>2020</strong><br />

is about to begin in Palm Beach County<br />

Here is what you can do to help save lives<br />

We are at the start of Kitten Season: the time from<br />

early spring through late fall when cats mate and<br />

give birth to countless kittens. Peggy Adams Animal<br />

Rescue League provides critical public awareness tips<br />

to help kittens, shelters and the community withstand<br />

the season. The abundance of litters throughout the<br />

community typically results in too many kittens being<br />

brought to area shelters, even though it is best for<br />

newborn kittens to be left with their mothers until<br />

they reach about 5 weeks of age.<br />

“Most discoveries of newborn kittens do not call<br />

for human assistance and, in fact, no intervention<br />

is the best thing,” says Heidi Nielsen, Director of<br />

Information and Outreach at Peggy Adams. “The<br />

goal is to keep the mother and kittens together to<br />

ensure the best chances for the kittens’ survival until<br />

the kittens are eating on their own and can be safely<br />

removed for socialization and adoption.”<br />

Before jumping to the rescue,<br />

consider the following:<br />

In the first weeks of their lives, kittens need<br />

their mother’s care and antibodies from her<br />

milk. As they grow, the mother will begin to<br />

give her kittens the critical training they need<br />

to survive on their own.<br />

Before concluding that the kittens have been<br />

abandoned, quietly observe from a safe<br />

distance to determine if the mother is present.<br />

The mother will continually stay with her litter<br />

for the first day or two after giving birth. Then,<br />

she will need to leave for short periods of time<br />

to find food for herself. If the mother is not<br />

present, she is most likely scouting for food<br />

and will return.<br />

A mother cat instinctively will move her nest<br />

of kittens. If a single, young kitten is spotted,<br />

it is likely that it is the first of the group to be<br />

moved to the new location or the last of the<br />

group to get moved from the old location.<br />

Do not interfere with the kittens or the space<br />

they are occupying. It is essential to not handle<br />

them, create shelter, or feed them as long as the<br />

mother is around. These interventions may<br />

cause the mother stress and possibly to<br />

abandon her family.<br />

Help by providing food and water to the<br />

mother. Be sure to place food and water<br />

far enough away from the nest so you do<br />

not disturb the mother and kittens or<br />

draw predators.<br />

Cats should be brought in for spay/neuter<br />

once the kittens are weaned. For details, please<br />

visit PeggyAdams.org/Found-Kitten-Resources<br />

and PeggyAdams.org/TNVR<br />

Following these simple measures will increase the<br />

survival rate of the kittens, allowing them to thrive in<br />

their natural environment. Additionally, it will allow<br />

local animal shelters to use their resources to further<br />

assist the current shelter population with the critical<br />

care they need and help place adoptable animals<br />

in homes.<br />

Rescue League and more details on Kitten Season,<br />

IN LOVING MEMORY…<br />

Lisa’s family<br />

Peggy Adams Executive Director/CEO Rich Anderson<br />

reflects on Lisa’s time at Peggy Adams and thanks<br />

players, volunteers and pros for coming out to<br />

honor her memory.<br />

Lisa Bowman touched hundreds of lives through<br />

her two biggest passions – tennis and Peggy Adams<br />

Animal Rescue League. A 10-year volunteer for<br />

Peggy Adams, she assisted with canine play groups<br />

and dog-walking, giving the shelter animals the love<br />

and attention they so need while waiting for their new<br />

forever homes.<br />

Sadly, Lisa passed away last year, and her teammates<br />

from the Wellington Tennis Center were determined<br />

to honor her memory. On January 30 th , they organized<br />

a wild-and-crazy Triples Tennis Tournament, raising<br />

the funds to dedicate a dog kennel in Lisa's memory<br />

in Peggy Adams’ new Pet Adoption Center now under<br />

construction.<br />

Tennis pros donated their time and, with Peggy Adams’<br />

staff and Tennis Center volunteers, enjoyed every<br />

moment of organizing the special tournament.<br />

Seventy-two players filled every court available for<br />

the event. Friends and family came to enjoy the<br />

action. Local businesses contributed prizes and<br />

cash donations.<br />

“We’ve never had more fun on a tennis court!”<br />

exclaimed one player as she completed her rounds.<br />

Liz Stockton and Ria Katragadda from the Wellington<br />

Tennis Center recruited volunteer tennis pros who<br />

donated their time; the Center donated their courts;<br />

and Peggy Adams volunteers remembered their<br />

colleague, while bringing adoptable dogs to greet<br />

the crowd.<br />

NAPLETON'S ON NORTHLAKE PRESENTS<br />

PEGGY ADAMS ANIMAL RESCUE LEAGUE WITH<br />

TWO DONATED VEHICLES TO HELP SAVE MORE<br />

LIVES PLUS THEY ARE PAYING ADOPTION FEES!<br />

In an effort to help<br />

save more homeless<br />

animals’ lives, Napleton’s<br />

on Northlake recently<br />

presented Peggy Adams<br />

Animal Rescue League<br />

with a donated 2019 Jeep<br />

Cherokee and a Dodge<br />

Ram Promaster. These<br />

vehicles play a vital role in<br />

the animal rescue mission of Peggy Adams.<br />

Peggy Adams transfers thousands of animals from<br />

other overcrowded Florida animal shelters into the<br />

League’s adoption program. Peggy Adams is also<br />

an emergency placement partner with numerous<br />

agencies. Therefore, if there is a disaster or hoarding<br />

situation, Peggy Adams will transfer and care for those<br />

animals at their facility. These two donated vehicles<br />

help Peggy Adams transport the animals from other<br />

shelters or from disaster relief efforts to their shelter<br />

located at 3200 N. Military Trail in West Palm Beach.<br />

As part of this partnership with Napleton’s on<br />

Northlake, Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League<br />

brings adoptable cats and dogs to the dealership<br />

the 2nd Saturday of every month from 11am-2pm.<br />

Napleton’s on Northlake is generously paying the<br />

adoption fees of those finding their forever homes at<br />

the dealership.<br />

“We are very grateful for Napleton’s on Northlake’s<br />

generous support,” says Rich Anderson, Executive<br />

Director/CEO of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue<br />

League. “These donated vehicles increase our capacity<br />

to save more homeless animals’ lives – whether it’s<br />

through animal transfer from other shelters to ours,<br />

or if it’s Peggy Adams bringing cats and dogs to be<br />

adopted at off-site events. We feel so fortunate to have<br />

this alliance,” Anderson added.<br />

Napleton’s on Northlake dealership includes Chrysler,<br />

Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Hyundai, and Kia and is located<br />

on Northlake Blvd in Lake Park, Florida. For more<br />

information about this partnership and/or the<br />

adoption events, please visit www.PeggyAdams.org<br />

“Napleton’s on Northlake is proud of our newly<br />

formed partnership with Peggy Adams Animal Rescue<br />

League,” says Steve Ignowski, Managing Partner of<br />

Napleton's on Northlake. “To be able to help Peggy<br />

Adams and their life-saving mission is heartwarming<br />

and extremely important to us.” Ignowski continued,<br />

“We wish Peggy Adams the very best in their<br />

continuing efforts to help animals in need and we are<br />

happy to be a part of it.”<br />

Some special highlights from this year’s<br />

19 th Annual Walk for the Animals…<br />

This year’s Mascots, sponsored by HomeAgain,<br />

were Joy and Koko along with best friends Jillesia<br />

and Mariah. Joy and Koko came to Peggy Adams<br />

in February of 2019 as two of 38 dogs rescued after<br />

their owner was found deceased inside a Palm Beach<br />

Gardens home. Palm Beach County Animal Care<br />

& Control removed them from the property and, as<br />

their most active placement partner, reached out to<br />

Peggy Adams to help with the care and placement<br />

of all 38 dogs. Best friends Jillesia and Mariah and<br />

their families heard about the story of these dogs<br />

and decided they wanted to give two of them loving<br />

homes. They fell in love with Joy and Koko and now all<br />

four girls (Jillesia, Mariah, Joy, and Koko)<br />

are inseparable!<br />

Always a hit at the Walk…the pet contests!!!<br />

ANNUAL BARK BACK BENEFIT<br />

"Spred the Dub" helped Spread the Love this past Valentine’s Day<br />

at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League<br />

Spred the Dub, hosts of the annual Bark Back Benefit<br />

and popular local band, were at Peggy Adams<br />

Animal Rescue League this past Valentine’s Day<br />

to spread the love as they passed out toys to the<br />

dogs and cats currently waiting to find their<br />

forever home.<br />

the funds raised help us with our lifesaving<br />

mission while giving a little<br />

extra love to the dogs and cats in<br />

our care.”<br />

The Valentine’s Day event was part of a<br />

fundraising effort for Spred the Dub’s Walk for<br />

the Animals team, Bark Back Benefit. Donors<br />

who gave $14 to the Walk team before Valentine’s<br />

Day had a toy given to a shelter animal in their honor.<br />

“What a wonderful Valentine’s treat for our animals,”<br />

said Rich Anderson, Executive Director/CEO of Peggy<br />

Adams Animal Rescue League. “This is a fantastic and<br />

thoughtful fundraising idea by Spred the Dub, as all<br />

NEW PET ADOPTION CENTER<br />

Site preparations were completed and the walls began<br />

to go up in late January. The project is on schedule<br />

for completion by November <strong>2020</strong>.<br />

Construction is fully underway for the new<br />

Pet Adoption Center at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue<br />

League. Slated to open in November <strong>2020</strong>, the Center<br />

will have the capacity to double the number of lives<br />

rescued, enabling Peggy Adams to save thousands<br />

more dogs, cats, puppies and kittens.<br />

“The Center will also feature dedicated classroom<br />

space to inaugurate county-wide humane education<br />

programs,” notes Rich Anderson, Executive Director/<br />

CEO of Peggy Adams. “These programs are sorely<br />

lacking in our community. Educating more people –<br />

youth in particular – about the humane treatment of<br />

animals is critical to the prevention of cruelty, abuse<br />

and the abandonment of animals,” Anderson added.<br />

“Hundreds of generous donors are coming together<br />

to make this dream a reality for our community,” he<br />

continues. “The facility will provide state-of-the-art<br />

accommodations for the animals sheltering here, as<br />

well as an enhanced adoption experience for families<br />

and individuals seeking a dog or a cat to love.”<br />

Designed by Jackson & Ryan Architects of Houston,<br />

Texas, specialists in the field of animal shelter design,<br />

the Center is being built by KAST Construction.<br />

KAST is the largest general contractor in<br />

Palm Beach County and one of the largest privately<br />

held construction companies in the Southeast.<br />

NEW PET ADOPTION CENTER<br />

The new Center features a Cat Adoption Wing at<br />

the east end of the structure and three Dog Adoption<br />

Wings. Areas already named are shown in orange.<br />

The Cat Adoption Wing includes four large, group<br />

cat apartments with catios, allowing the animals to<br />

access freely an outdoor area facing butterfly gardens.<br />

A central cat tower with condos for cats who prefer<br />

to be housed individually fills the center of the Cat<br />

Adoption Wing, with Cat Colony Rooms for small<br />

groups of related kitties facing the lobby and along<br />

the north wall.<br />

Dog wings include large Dog Adoption Rooms for<br />

groups of compatible animals as well as individual<br />

dog kennels, all with outdoor patios readily accessed<br />

by the animals housed there. At the end of each wing,<br />

there is an outdoor dog play yard where daily play<br />

groups, as well as behavior classes for the public, can<br />

be held, covered to protect participants from strong<br />

sun and rain, and with fans to circulate and cool<br />

the air.<br />

To the rear of the Cat Adoption Wing are located the<br />

veterinarian office, volunteer office, a large volunteer<br />

workroom/conference room, a volunteer lounge and a<br />

general conference room, as well as a grooming room,<br />

photography studio and pharmacy.<br />

Commemorative bricks will be laid in the entryway<br />

to the new center as well as in the outdoor café area,<br />

while trees and benches honoring special pets and<br />

family members will be featured throughout the<br />

grounds and the visitors’ areas.<br />

Orange areas indicate spaces already<br />

reserved as of February 18, <strong>2020</strong><br />

Cat Colony Rooms and Cat Condos<br />

A variety of living spaces support the needs of cats<br />

coming to us for care. Cats enjoying group living will<br />

have four large apartments with garden-side outdoor<br />

“catios” freely accessible to them. Related families<br />

will enjoy one of fifteen cat colony rooms, 7 of which<br />

remain available for naming. Cats preferring solo<br />

living will be housed in individual two-room condos<br />

in the central cat tower. There are 26 condos still<br />

available for naming. A cat café will invite visitors to<br />

relax and unwind while playing with adoptable cats<br />

and kittens seeking their forever home.<br />

Leaving a Legacy of Love<br />

“<br />

B<br />

Your<br />

FOREVER FRIENDS<br />

Leg acy of<br />

Love<br />

for<br />

the Anima l<br />

equests play an incredible role in allowing Peggy<br />

Adams Animal Rescue League to save thousands<br />

of lives each year,” comments Rich Anderson,<br />

Executive Director/CEO. “Robert Falcon, through<br />

his generous bequest last fall, will be doing enormous<br />

good for years to come for literally thousands of<br />

lost, abandoned, neglected and abused dogs and cats<br />

coming to us for care.”<br />

Mr. Falcon loved animals. The medical services<br />

at Peggy Adams touch each and every dog and cat<br />

receiving care here each year, more than 37,000 in<br />

2019. Whether coming for an annual checkup at<br />

our Wellness Clinic, for our spay/neuter services, or<br />

receiving shelter here while awaiting their forever<br />

homes, every dog and cat we see are helped by the<br />

resources of our Pharmacy.<br />

“We remain beyond grateful to the thoughtful people<br />

who make a provision for Peggy Adams Animal<br />

Rescue League in their estate plans,” notes Anderson.<br />

“It is humbling to be entrusted with this kind of<br />

legacy. We take it very much to heart.”<br />

In 2019, Peggy Adams was the recipient of<br />

$2,544,265.70 in bequests. “These contributions go<br />

directly to the care of the animals,” Anderson explains.<br />

“Their impact is inestimable.”<br />

Peggy Adams’ Director of Medical Services, Dr. Beth Keser (l.), Jon Maples<br />

of Northwestern Mutual (c.), and Rich Anderson, Executive Director/<br />

CEO (r.), gather to remember Robert Falcon whose generous bequest in<br />

September 2019 named the Pharmacy in the Grace Pavilion.<br />

Forever Friends are persons who have made provisions in their<br />

estate plans for support of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League.<br />

League attended the launch event at the main offices<br />

on Flagler Drive in West Palm Beach. They discussed<br />

the organization’s mission and all of the exciting<br />

programs planned for <strong>2020</strong>. They also brought a<br />

special guest, Ruby, who stole the show in a tutu and<br />

won the hearts of all in attendance.<br />

“The Junior League of the Palm Beaches applauds the<br />

work of the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League. One<br />

of JLPB's primary focus areas is foster care. Like Peggy<br />

Adams Animal Rescue League, the JLPB believes in<br />

helping the most vulnerable in our society,” states<br />

Laura Wissa, JLPB President.<br />

In February, the Jones Foster Impact Team<br />

participated in the 19 th Annual Walk for the Animals<br />

event and served as the Pet Costume Contest sponsor.<br />

In addition, a team of volunteers took time out of their<br />

workday and provided hands-on support during an<br />

on-site service day, the first of several scheduled for<br />

this year. They deep-cleaned holding cages and floors<br />

to help ensure a clean, healthy space for the animals<br />

awaiting their forever homes.<br />

Both organizations are making a positive impact<br />

for those unable to stand up for themselves through<br />

effective community initiatives, education, and<br />

volunteer programs.<br />

Thank you, Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, for<br />

all you do to save the lives of so many animals in our<br />

community and for furthering that critical and unique<br />

bond between people and animals.<br />

Kid's CORNER<br />

It’s never too late to instill philanthropy in children.<br />

They should learn that philanthropy is not just for<br />

adults or for the wealthy, but that anyone making an<br />

attempt to better the society is a philanthropist.<br />

We’d like to give a special shout out to Sage for her<br />

generous donation of food and supplies to our Peggy’s<br />

Pantry. In lieu of birthday presents, Sage asked friends,<br />

yet again, to bring items for animals in need. Featured<br />

in this picture is Sage with a trunk full of goodies<br />

for local cats and dogs. Sage collected donations for<br />

Peggy Adams on her 6 th , 7 th and now 9 th birthday,<br />

and is counting the days until she turns 16 so she can<br />

volunteer! What a remarkable young philanthropist!<br />

For more information on youth volunteer<br />

opportunities, please visit:<br />

PeggyAdams.org/Youth-Volunteer-Opportunities<br />

Have you ever wanted to add a pet to your family but you just<br />

couldn’t? If you are someone who wants to “watch over” the canine<br />

and feline residents in our dog and cat adoption center in a way<br />

that hovers above the rest, please consider becoming one of our<br />

Guardian Angels.<br />

A Guardian Angel funds the care of our resident cats or dogs in a<br />

specific condo or kennel. During your year as a Guardian Angel,<br />

you’ll help a number of pets as they await their forever home.<br />

Your status will be recognized with a card on your sponsored condo<br />

or kennel naming you, your family, or your business as that pet’s<br />

Guardian Angel. You’ll also receive a certificate and a special angel pin.<br />

Anyone who visits the shelter will be reminded of your generosity.<br />

The average cost of care for a dog or cat in our program is $35 a day<br />

and the average length of stay with us is 25 days.<br />

For more information, please contact Amy Lowe<br />

Thank you to current members<br />

of the Leadership Circle...<br />

Paula Graham had been a generous supporter<br />

of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League for eight<br />

years when she read about our Leadership Circle<br />

program. In December, she stopped in to say that<br />

she would like to become a member of the Circle<br />

and to let us know that her support could be<br />

counted upon for the next five years!<br />

“When we know someone has expressed an intent<br />

to support the animals for a 5-year period, we<br />

can really plan ahead,” notes Rich Anderson,<br />

Executive Director/CEO of Peggy Adams Animal<br />

Rescue League. “Many of our programs that are<br />

standard today resulted from the stable revenues<br />

our Leadership Circle has provided – the Kitten<br />

Nursery, the Adoption Ambassadors, Peggy’s<br />

Pantry, to name a few.” Special thanks to Paula and<br />

the more than 80 individuals who have become a<br />

part of our Leadership Circle.<br />

For an investment of as little as $2.74 a day ($1,000<br />

for a year), you can join the Leadership Circle. As<br />

a member, you will play a vital role in the life of<br />

Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League and, more<br />

importantly, in the lives of the dogs, cats, puppies<br />

and kittens who need and deserve a second chance<br />

at life. Together, we will build a community where<br />

there are no more homeless pets!<br />

for a real life, loveable goofball? Then<br />

I'm the perfect guy for you! Sure I may<br />

look like a linebacker in The Doggie<br />

Bowl, but in the everyday world… I'm<br />

just the strong, sweet (and squishy!)<br />

type. There will never be a dull day<br />

On January 31, <strong>2020</strong>, Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League<br />

received 24 small dogs of various ages and breeds from<br />

Palm Beach County Animal Care & Control due to a hoarding<br />

situation. Mostly Chihuahuas and other small breed dogs,<br />

they were living in deplorable conditions. Special thanks to<br />

Scenthound who spent the day at Peggy Adams providing<br />

baths and grooming to several of the dogs. Scenthound is<br />

a business partner of Peggy Adams and always provides<br />

support in situations such as this.<br />
