On Tuesday July 23rd we had a visit from the Dessin Animal Shelter.
Representing them was Board Co-Chair Lisa Weber and Humane Office Marlene Metzger.
Accompanying them was Ransom, a trained therapy dog who assists in a variety of ways in our area.
We learned so much about how the Dessin Animal Shelter helps animals in our community and how they help people in our community, too! They are affiliated with the thrift shop "The Cat's Pajamas" in Honesdale and the proceeds from the thrift shop come right back to the animal shelter. Also, the animal shelter works with organizations (such as VIP, for example) to help the pets of those who are in a crisis situation.
All pets adopted from Dessin are sterilized, micro chipped (they register the microchips, too!), and vaccinated prior to leaving the shelter upon adoption. Our members collectively gathered items to donate such as dog food, cat food, cat litter, etc. Because they are funded over 99% from donations, they graciously accept monetary donations and donations of all animal-related items (food, bedding, litter, towels, sheets, collars, leashes, etc). If you're unable to donate animal items, and a monetary donation isn't an option for you, donating some old clothes and shoes or any thrift-able item to The Cat's Pajamas is a great way we as a community can help out!
Thank you so much for coming to our meeting to talk about your organization. It was very informational!
