I thought we would start this page with a picture that was taken as the sun was coming up.  A new year with 2012….  new dreams… new goals….and a wish list that is similar but different than many non profits.  So, here’s some of the items that would help smooth the way a little easier for many:

 ***We could really use a database software.  This would help us save an incredible amount of time.  Now, I’m used to doing things the old fashioned way.  And, not too long ago I was still using index cards, but a database could assist us in many ways in being so much more efficient.

***Educational materials both for continuing education for us as well as what we give our pet parents either before and after their baby passes are very needed on an ongoing basis.  One of the resources we use for our pet parents is the Center for Loss and Life Transition  at:

***We’re always in need of marketing materials, office supplies (gift certificates to Office Max or wherever would be swell!) That list is growing rapidly as we start our next 2 programs.  Each time we start a program we need to do a certain amount of marketing to let the folks in Northeast Wisconsin know what’s out there. 

***And, it’s a never ending need for money, moolah, cash, dinero. The gas is high, the insurance is necessary, but expensive, the everyday costs of phone and working materials and, we’re not even paying salaries yet!  So, we’re grateful for every penny you can spare.  We’ll put it to good use and it’s tax deductible too!

We review our list every now and then and we’ll, no doubt, be adding to this, so check in now and then and please know we are grateful for any contribution to further our mission to assist pet parents!
