The Shelter has several events coming up this month. On Saturday, November 15, we will hold our annual fall bake sale at the Independence Dollar Fresh from 8:30 until noon. Be sure to stop by to pick up some great treats.

On 24th we will be doing a community night at the Oelwein Pizza Ranch from 4:30- 7:00. The Shelter will be bussing tables for tips and a portion of in-house sales from that evening goes to the Shelter. As you head into the busy holiday season with Thanksgiving later that week it will be a perfect night to give yourself a break and go out and get some delicious food and support the shelter.

The shelter has started preparations over the past few months for this year's edition of Christmas at Otter Creek which will be held December 7th from 10 until 3 at the shelter. This years event will include the usual activities of visits with Santa, children's activities, holiday music, refreshments, a wreath decorating contest with prizes and the silent auction. This year we are working to add additional sponsors and a variety for every age and interest,

As we heading to November, we will start previewing some of the items that will be available for bid. One of our consistent supporters is The Kokomo in Oelwein. Each year they do a themed basket, which usually includes a variety of items for two and four legged family members. This year is no exception as they once again have provided a great themed basket.

The Shelter is welcoming, donations of items, gift cards, and even experiences up until the event. This is a great opportunity to gather family, friends, neighbors, or coworkers and create a themed basket. Items will be accepted until the day of the event. The Shelter is also willing to pick up items from businesses. Please contact us with any question and thank you for your support

Marcie is a new dog to the shelter. She weighs 12 pounds and is a pugapoo. She is 10 months old. Marcie was bought at a swap meet. One of her owners had a medical emergency that has affected her mobility. From what we understand she was spending a lot of time in the garage to avoid being a tripping hazard. With the weather changing she needed a better option. She will be on the adoption floor by the weekend. If you think she might be a fit, please read the adoption requirements. Fill out an application if you meet the requirements.

Biscuit continues to wait for a home. We have had a few applications since he came to the shelter in January and a couple of meet and greets but nothing was the right fit. He turned one in August and is a Heeler/ Rat Terrier mix. He is wary of new people and would nee a fenced in yard to burn off energy. Someone would have to commit to several visit to bond prior to adoption. He is a very smart and loving boy once he feels safe with his people. He would be a great agility dog. He is housebroke and loves to run and play fetch. He is a once in a lifetime dog for the person who is familar with herding breeds and wants a loyal companion. If interested please fill out a application on our website.
