On April 3, 2003, HappyPaws Farm received a letter from the Snohomish County Licensing Department, saying: "You are to make arrangements to relocate all dogs that have been sheltered beyond 6 months.  The relocation must be completed by May 31, 2003."  This notice comes from a County ordinance that says shelters like ours can't keep animals beyond six months.

The dogs that we are being told to relocate are animals that for many reasons can't go to foster homes.  They are the most difficult dogs to adopt - and dogs who have suffered so much until they found a loving, safe place at HappyPaws.  You would love some of these dogs - they are courageous ones who may be incontinent, have expensive or chronic medical problems, may have been used for research, may be very old, may chew incessantly, have separation anxiety, may be fear biters or dog aggressive, may be feral or a host of other reasons that cause them to be "slow to adopt out".

Can you help?  $20 or $500?  Your dollars will go directly to saving our "hard to adopt" dogs and you'll receive a receipt and thank you letter from us.
