The Leader of the Pack Howls
Dear Readers,
It’s great to see 2012! For me, the New Year signifies a time of endings and a time of beginnings and in this issue, we have both to share with you.
The end of 2011 had us saying good-bye to a beloved friend and rescuer in our community. Lolli McAllister who founded and ran P.A.A.L.S. (Prescott Area Animal Life Savers) was a pioneer in bringing rescue to our area many, many years ago. In this issue, we honor and remember her for who she was and what she meant to so many. Thank you Lolli for your love, kindness and devotion to the animals and for all you shared with us. You will be missed, but we Celebrate Your Life and know that you have now been re-united with your beloved husband and many of the four-legged people who you saved and loved on this earth! You will NEVER be forgotten!
In this issue, we are also sharing some new things with you. There are so many stories coming to us about dogs in the military and dogs for our veterans that we decided to bring you a new feature called, Soldier Dogs. In our first story, you will meet Mike Dowling and his canine partner, Sgt. Rex who worked side by side in Iraq saving precious lives together. They continually put themselves in harms way to serve their country. Mike Dowling was just twenty-five years old and Rex was only three when they arrived in Iraq. I am so proud and grateful for their service and happy that we can share these remarkable stories with you and we have many more to bring you in 2012.
In our cover story, we are proud to bring you a fairly new and very unique horse rescue in our area. It’s called Atlasta Home Horse Rescue and they need our help. They have about 28 horses and they not only rescue them, but they rehab and train them to get them ready to be adopted. They also have some programs for the public and specifically for kids like one they are doing with Big Brothers Big Sisters. Kids can go out to the ranch and work with the horses. For every hour they volunteer, they get an hour to ride. It’s a great program for the kids and great for the horses too. They also have a community service program and others they are developing. Melissa and her husband Paul and their family put everything into helping these animals and we hope we can get them more help through this story. I was so impressed with all they do with so little when I went out and met them. They are truly dedicated to helping these horses get their lives back together and find forever, loving homes. You can also see some of their available horses for adoption in our Horsin’ Around feature.
Something else new we have for you this issue is Printable Coupons. With many people utilizing coupons these days, we thought we would offer them to you in an easy to use way, which is online at our website. Each advertiser that has a coupon will have their name listed alphabetically in the publication with what their offer is and then, you just go to our website and click on the “Tail Waggin Coupons” button on the home page section. It will take you to a list of all the coupons, just chose the ones you want and print them out. It’s simple and easy to use so we think you will like it!
It seems the publication keeps growing each issue but I still keep hearing you read it cover to cover so I hope you will enjoy this edition with many more terrific animal stories. Thank you for your support, your letters, emails and for caring about animals. We have lots more to share with you and more exciting news to bring you in upcoming issues, this year.
Have a wonderful New Year!
Ann & Bernie
