Welcome Hedger to CP!

Written by CP's VP of Intakes

Baby, it's hot outside!! Much of the U.S. is just sizzling with record, prolonged heat and very little rain. Livestock is suffering and if you are one of the unfortunate animals that has to live outside, this is just pure misery.

Hedger is a 3 year old male who has been passed around from family to family. He ended up with a family who kept him tied to the front porch--morning, noon and night--no matter what the weather. This family fell on hard times and were facing eviction from their home which meant Hedger would be passed to yet another family. Lucky for him he was passed to a neighbor who is involved with Westie Rescue and got in touch with CP immediately to help this boy. July 4 became Independence Day for Hedger. He will never again have to live tied on the front porch.

Hedger is a donated name from Pamela B. Please remember the Name a Cairn Program is a great remembrance of someone special or gift for the person who has everything. It is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

Normally, the saying is come in out of the cold. In Hedger's case, it's come in out of the heat! Come on in Hedger, the temperature's just right in the Col. Potter family!

Welcome Laughing Gravy to CP!

Haven't we all had an occasion when we have tried to hide our dog, or keep them quiet, when we've had them somewhere they probably shouldn't be, or they've been doing something they (and or you) shouldn't be doing?  Well, in 1931 Laurel and Hardy did a short film about hiding their dog, Laughing Gravy, from their landlord.  One of our wonderful volunteers made a donation through our Name a Cairn Program for the name Laughing Gravy.

 

 This little girl has arrived in her foster home, where I can almost guarantee, there will be many stories and updates told!  She is a beautiful black brindle, estimated to be 6-7 years old.

 

Please help me welcome Laughing Gravy to Col. Potter!

COL. POTTER SAVES A LIFE : can you chip -in?

Written by CP's VP of Intakes

Memorial Day Weekend 2012 was time to say thanks and salute those that have served and especially those that have given their lives in the line of duty. I would like to take that one step further and include those have served to help rescue the Cairns that we all love.

One special man passed away earlier this year. Richard J, who along with his wonderful wife, Kaaren, have been foster home to more Cairns than anyone else in Col. Potter--well over 100! In Richard's memory, a name was donated to the Name A Cairn Program. While I don't know if Richard served his country in the military, I do know that he served the Cairns through Col. Potter. It is my distinct privilege to introduce Jonesy.

Let's all give a welcome salute to Jonesy! He has some special medical needs and a chip in has been set up on his behalf. Please follow this link if you can donate and help with his medical expenses.
