BSL

I just received a letter from my Illinois State Rep... saying "House Bill1080 did not move forward out of committee for a vote on the House floor before the deadline passed. This bill is unlikely to move forward."

Please share your love of a "discriminated" breed!

Lost Dog: Sadie Lee

Sadie Lee, a small Apricot poodle ran out of her temporary foster home last night.   This is a puppy mill dog so she is probably scared and won’t go to anyone.

Last seen on Nawata Ave in Mt. Prospect. Nearest major intersection is Golf Rd and Rt. 83 (Elmhurst Rd.)

If found or even spotted, please call Geralyn at 847-577-8950.

Frost Animal Club

The Frost Animal Club, comprised of seventh and eighth grade animal lovers, gathered quite a lot of donations for the Almost Home Foundation. The club held a donation drive for homeless animal shelters at Robert Frost Junior High a few months ago. They passed out flyers at school, made posters, and asked friends and family to donate anything they had around the house such as newspapers, old towels, blankets, paper towels and much more. Impressively, they were able to fill an entire classroom with donations. Part of these donations went to the Almost Home Foundation as well as three other shelters in the area. The Animal Club members should be very proud of their hard work and dedication for such an amazing cause; the dogs and cats are very appreciative!

Thank you from all of us for helping our animals,

AHF Family
