THANK YOU Roosters Men's Grooming Center
From Roosters Men's Grooming Center of East Greenwich: "During our soft opening we offered complimentary services in exchange for donations to the Pet Refuge. We're proud that we were able to raise over $120 to help Jasmine and the other deserving animals." A big THANK YOU goes to Roosters for their kindness and generous donation to help the shelter's animals! We wish you much success in your new business!

We want your newspapers!
We want to reuse your old, clean newspapers. We use newspapers as lining for the pets' cages as a low-cost saving measure, but our stockpile is running low. To help us out, all you have to do is drop off your clean and dry newspapers at the shelter.

Round 2 of The Animal Rescue Site $300,000 Shelter+ Challenge
The Pet Refuge was the RI state winner in Round 1 of the $300,000 Shelter+ Challenge. A big THANK YOU to everyone who voted for us! Round 2 started April 9. Under new rules, we can't win more than one Grand Prize in 2012 and two regional prizes in a row in 2012. That is, we could win a state prize or other regional prize in Round 1 and Round 3 or Round 2 and Round 4, but not in Round 1 and Round 2 or Round 3 and Round 4.

So, we're eligible for a weekly prize in Round 2! The next time we'll be eligible to receive the Grand Prize or regional prize will be in Round 3, which starts in July.

Round 2 ends at midnight (PT) on June 17, 2012. To vote for us, click on the picture below to go to The Animal Rescue Site:
