Our human is doing something we’re pretty puffed about, so we decided to take over the blog today to let you know about it. Back in March, a group of local folks talked about ways they could support the local pound. Those discussions expanded to discuss how they could help cats and dogs and their owners in the county. This group of people decided to honor the local animal control officer’s “Touch of Love” Facebook Page by expanding on the name just a little bit and Milam Touch of Love was born. During this group’s meeting, they also selected a Board of Directors and vision and mission statements. As part of their integration, the group adopted the Facebook Group.

The Board of Directors took it from there — our human was chosen to be one of the board members. They did a bunch of paperwork and are now legal in the State of Texas. They’re accepting donations now (we understand donations of money, dog food (even cat food and cat litter), supplies, and other things are very important to what they do).  Oh, and other donations are important too — time, transportation to get an animal from one place to another (we don’t drive, you understand), or even temporary housing while we’re waiting for our forever family to find us. Sometimes just sharing information about us (well, not US — we have our home, but for the dogs and cats that are still looking) can make all the difference. They have filed paperwork with the IRS asking for determinationa as a (we hope we get this right, it’s supposed to be important) 501(c)(3) entity.

How do you find out more?

Go to our Facebook Group and join in — this is where people share about dogs and cats and sometimes other animals lost from home or looking for homes.
