The old Collinsville Animal Shelter has served its time and needs to be replaced. This organization has applied for tax exempt status and not only plans to help get the new shelter built, but plans to provide volunteers to help staff the new facility after it opens. |
If you need animal control assistance call the Collinsville Police Department at 371-1000 (non-emergency) or 911 (emergency). |

The officers and members of Friends of the Collinsville Animal Shelter invite you, your family, co-workers, and friends to join us for a party for you and your pets.
FOCAS has been working for the past year and a half on plans to provide a building for our lost and abandoned pets. Our goal is becoming very achievable. We have drawings for a 40x40 building and two acres provided by the City of Collinsville. The concrete for the foundation and the labor to build the building will be donated. We need to raise $20,000 for the steel for construction, inside walls, plumbing, etc.
So you say, "What
is a pet party?" Sunday afternoon, October 2, 2005 at the Veterans Building
in Collinsville we are rolling out the red carpet for you and your pets. We
will have activities like a Dog Bone Walk, Find the Catnip, Musical Fire Hydrants,
and show us your pet's best trick. There will be a craft table where you can
make toys for your pet, photos with your pet, groomers clipping pet nails
and ASK the Vet Panel, face painting,
fingerprinting for children, paw prints for animals and emergency vehicles
on display. We have even asked a pet communicator to join us---not sure yet
is she will be available that day. Pepper The Paper Retriever and the Collinsville
Cardinal will greet our guests. Activities free of charge except: photos $3,
nail clipping $5, pet communicator-not sure yet.
At 2:30 Al Inglima will
conduct a fun auction for FOCAS. To date we have TU Football Tickets, Two
tickets to May's production of The Lion King, life-size carousel pony, wing
back chair with horse motif, hand-made pet throws, an electric scooter, 7Ply
Sk8Board, CV afghans, and baskets of stuffed animals. We have requested signed
items from many celebrities. So far we have items from Wes Studi, Jimmy Houston,
Roy Clark, Christian Slater, and Broadway posters signed by the cast---Carol
Channing, Cathy Rigby, Barbara Eden, and many more to come.
Pet Palooza Party 1:30 Concessions Auction 2:30
$5 per family which includes one pet goodie bag (extra bags $3)
Goodie bags for the first 150 are a great black canvas bag filled with pet
goodies. We will have some type of goodie bags for each family. We are looking
for another great bag.
**We need your support to make this work. Please help us spread the word, donate items for our auction, help with one of the booths, and most of all attend and bring friends.**
10% of
our profits will help pets displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
Pets must be current on rabies vaccinations and on a leash or in a crate.

"You Name it Gate - Grill Campaign" |
The Friends of the Collinsville Animal Shelter announce the opportunity for you to help with one of the most important parts of the shelter ... the kennel runs. The runs have been built out of cement blocks, drains have been installed, and protective coating applied. Here is where we can use your help. We need a gate and a grill for each run. We are purchasing a sturdy, durable gate and drain grill so we will not have to be repairing or replacing every time we turn around. With your purchase of a gate-grill for $687.00 you will be making it possible to finish one of our largest animal shelter projects. We need 14 gate-grill combinations. Donate the Gate-Grill
and Name the Run We need these now, of course. Talk with your organizations, pull the family together to purchase one, or buy one in memory of a beloved pet. FOCAS has their
501 c 3 tax status. If you would like to be a part of this project send
your donation of $687.00 to: Feel free to purchase
more than one! |
