My special needs students are having a wonderful time this week preparing the "doggy treat cups" for Yappy Hour! They've worked together to figure out an assembly line process for measuring and cutting ribbon, assembling the glassware, counting and filling each glass with treats, wrapping and tying the ribbon to seal the glasses, and finally stacking them carefully in a container for transport. They were so excited about their final product, they wanted to give Dawn a call. Each student was able to speak directly with Dawn and tell her of their contribution to our community project. They feel very proud to be helping out the animals of A New Dawn. Anyone who knows me knows that my two passions are special needs children and critters. It gives me great joy to see them come together in a win-win situation. Thanks, Dawn, for always making room for contributions from my students as well as opening your heart to our furry friends!

This is a WONDERFUL place! On 09/17/11 they had a booth at Stubbs HD for their 45th anniversary. Well I saw a picture of Lucky and brought my husband over to see his picture. Long story short, we rode home, changed and went straight over to look at him. They let him out and he bolted to his new Daddy! He is the sweetest and most adoreable dog I've owned. Oh, and I always have had females and he's our first male. It's a win win situation. He got a forever home and we got a great buddy! Everyone there was so nice as well. I'm spreading the word about A New Dawn!!!

I got a call at 11 pm last night that someone again dropped off a box of kittens. We have signs all over the building clearly stating that we cannot take drop-offs but people continue to do it. Please, please, be responsible and take these precious kittens to your local shelter. We are full to capacity and not able to accomodate drop-offs because of health concerns. We are an adoption center, not a shelter. When kittens are dropped off in the middle of the night like this, any number of things could happen to them before a volunteer finds them and then we are faced with leaving our animals that we are responsible for and taking these little creatures to a shelter. It absolutely rips our hearts out!

This place is amazing! I used to volunteer here, but due to financial problem, I had to find a full time paying job, it broke my heart. The animals are well taken care of and loved. Each pet that comes into there finds a loving home, no matter how long it takes, they never give up. Dawn is one of the most amazing women I've ever met, she has a special something you don't find in everyone. She loves animals and is committed to helping all these "fur-babies". I've been really missing this place and all the good times lately, I was never as happy as I was when I was helping these animals, so I decided to come on here and let everyone know how awesome this place is.

Stray animals! Drop them at our door at A new Dawn! Yes we are a no kill shelter but we can not take animals that are dropped off and have to turn them over to a local city shelter. We are required to only take animals that have all there shots and paperwork or from a city shelter. So please stop dropping them off to us. It is ripping our hearts out to have to send them to the local city shelter and not know what will happen to them. It seems that kittens are in over population but unless you can take them and get all there shots and have them fixed please dont drop them off at our building because we have to turn them over to the local city shelter.
We can not save them so dropping them off in the night does not save Call us there are other places for cats but you have to call and find them. We will give you all the info we have! Just be responsible and dont leave them at our door in the middle of the night.

Hey Everyone,
I saw Tommy yesterday! Harold and he walked to the office to say Hello. He looks great! He has lost a little weight and was very happy. Harold treats him like a kid so he is spoiled rotten! He looked at me like who are you! But after a while I got a kiss ! Harold is that one person we knew was out there! Its just proff that if we wait long enough the right person will appear!

Laurie is absolutely right about the adoption process. One of the advantages of our small adoption center is the love we can give these precious animals. They are treated with the utmost respect and they are loved as if they were our own pets. We do not want them to go into a home that we do not feel comfortable with. Dawn gets to know each animal as an individual and we have a good idea of which personality type would fit into certain homes. Sometimes we have to make hard decisions, but it is always in the best interest of our little furry friends!

Last week Dawn and I were talking and she was upset because a application that we denied was writting ugly things about A New Dawn. I think she thinks I am crazy because I told her I dont really care what they think it is about the animal. This applicant claimed to have a pet but no vet and ask what kind of shots a puppy would need! Are you serious and you think we would give you this puppy. Dawn turns down applicates likely more than public shelters but we are all about finding the perfect home. I will never be ashame to be a part of this organization no matter what people say as long as we have values that effect every adoption. We realize that all our applicants really want the animal but they must realize that we have to do what we feel is best for the animal. So if you get turned down with us think about why. We will gladly consider you again if you learn from the reason we turned you down. Thanks Dawn for always putting our 4 legged friends first.

Hello, around the last of Feb. a mama had five babies in our back yard (cat). One did not make it, leaving four. Two gray tabbies, two yellow tabbies. She left them around 4 or 5 weeks I'd guess. My husband and I didn't really want anymore animals. I have two girls (cats) inside around 13 yrs old. Anyway, we couldn't stand their little starving faces and guess who started feeding. Last week, one of the gray little boys followed something or someone off. I can't find him. That leaves me with two boys and one girl. I haven't taken them to a shelter, I couldn't stand the thought of being caged with a lot of other cats. I have wormed them and treated for fleas. Do ya'll take in babies or adopt out only? Two of them, gray boy and yellow girl are holdable and tame. That leaves one yellow/white boy, who very much wants to talk, but scared of his own shadow. I don't know what I can do? Any ideas? Thanks much, Linda

I just wanted to drop in and tell you how great Bob is doing. We renamed him Howie due to the fact my uncle who passed from brain cancer was named Bob and i didnt want my Aunt to get emotional everytime i called my dog. Howie is doing wonderful. He loves to chew on his doggie bones and play. He is also my little lap dog. He like to get in my lap during the day and watch tv. SPOILED he is!! lol I am so glad to have adopted him from you and one day i plan on coming back and adopting another. But that is off in the future. Thank you so much for letting me adopt Howie(Bob), I love him so much!
