On behalf of the Board and Volunteers of Phelps County Animal Welfare League, I would like to thank all the participants and sponsors of the 8th Annual Strut Your Mutt Fundraiser which took place Saturday, September 19.  First of all we were thrilled to receive a $1000 donation from the Rolla Missouri Kennel Club to kick off our drive to raise funds for a low-cost spay/neuter clinic for our area. 

This very generous donation gives us a huge boost toward the funding of the first clinic which we hope can take place very soon.  Community members wishing to make contributions to this fund can send them to “PCAWL spay-neuter Fund/P.O. Box 1981/Rolla, MO 65402.

Our long list of sponsors for the “Strut Your Mutt” fundraiser include :
Animal Health Center (Dr. Berger), Big Lots, Brewer Science, Canine Connections, Country Mart, Foods for Health, K-9 Academy, MFA, Miller Door, Olivia G. Carney, Ozark Vacuum Company, Pat Istwan, Pepsi, Phelps County Bank, Bishop Avenue Veterinary Clinic (Dr. Ranney), Rolla Animal Hospital (Dr. Janke), Rolla Books & Toys, Rolla Kennel Club, Royal Canin, Sam’s Tire & Auto Service, Steven’s Feed, St. James Veterinary Medical Center (Dr. Chitwood), Town and Country Bank and Windmill Floral Creations.

Thank all of you very much for supporting PCAWL.
