The winds sweeping across the plains certainly apply to Ohio. It was one of the craziest weather days we have encountered on Tour For Life. The day started out sunny and a bit breezy, it then turned to high winds and rain. There were even a few moments where the mobile rocked back and forth. All in all it was an OK day.

There were people who stopped by and seemed to be interested in what was happening, but we all thought the weather kept others away. Even with the weather as it was, we still managed to adopt out 1 dog and 2 cats. The Humane Society of Madison County was a ray of sunshine on this day. They posted the event on their website, made sure an announcement was in the local paper, and even invited a local news crew to come down and take some video. The segment was to air on their nightly broadcast. Hopefully it will draw people in to adopt this weekend.

The Humane Society has a bright future ahead of them. During the day they were informing us of the many plans they had for renovating a trailer on their shelter grounds to fundraisers in the near future. The renovations for the trailer include a spay/neuter clinic, cleverly named “Neuterville - A Great Place to Spay”. Also they are making changes to their rooms which house the cats. They are now going to make two separate rooms, one for healthy cats and one for sick cats. A fundraiser which sounds like it is going to be a lot of fun, “Slobberfest” is going to be held in June. It is going to be a big adoption event with the Humane Society and other local groups.

It was great to catch up with this little shelter. Every year they welcome us with open arms and the give an all out effort for the events. We believe this partnership with the Humane Society of Madison County with be a long lasting one.

See you Parma, Ohio.
