We would like to express our sincere appreciation to:
BIOLOGY PROFESSORS HULLENDER AND HEARD AND THEIR STUDENTS AT UWG DONATE PET FOOD ON VALENTINE'S DAY 2012
This is the fourth time that Professor Melissa Hullender and her biology classes at UWG have so generously supported the animals at the shelter
and the animals in families who are feeling the pinch in this economy by collecting pet food. This time she was joined by Professor Heard and his
biology classes. The food collected will be shared between the shelter animals and the CCHS Empty Pet Bowls program. The latter program distributes
free pet food to individual families and to social service agencies so that pet owners do not have to give up their pets due to financial hardship.
Here are the results: Over 950 lbs. of dry dog food was donated! This breaks down to approximately 150 bags of dog food, as well as some canned food.
More than 123 students took part in this dog food drive.
Professor Hullender speaks for all of us when she says: "I am very proud that the generosity of the UWG biology students has now stocked the shelter
pantry with over 150 bags of dog food." We all share her pride in these students. We can only imagine how many animals' lives will be positively
affected by their compassion.
PET SUPPLIES PLUS AND THEIR CUSTOMERS
In the fall of 2011, Pet Supplies Plus in Carrollton collected donations for CCHS from their customers. The total amount came to a little over
$800! We appreciate very much the store management and those who donated to the fund drive.
MELISSA HULLENDER AND HER 1107 FALL SEMESTER 2011 BIOLOGY CLASSES
Thank you very much to the 111 students in Melissa Hullender's biology 1107 class at UWG who contributed to the Empty Pet Bowls
Program the following: 372 lbs. of dry dog food; 65 lbs. of dry cat food; 45 cans of cat food; 75 cans of dog food and $25 towards the
Fix Fido program. We think it's wonderful that they care so much about Carroll County's pet owners and their animals who might be
facing hard times this winter as the economy continues to struggle.
OUR FUN DOG SHOW SPONSORS, DONORS, AND VOLUNTEERS
The 2011 Fun Dog Show was such a great time and a successful fundraiser for our Fix Fido Fund, which subsidizes pet owners who can't afford the regular prices at the CCHS's West Georgia Spay/Neuter Clinic. We want to thank all our supporters who made it possible.

MELISSA SANDRENE HULLENDER AND HER 2011
SUMMER SEMESTER UWG BIOLOGY CLASSES
Melissa Sandrene Hullender taught two biology classes at UWG this summer (BIOL 1011 AND 1108) and held a pet food drive. 58 students brought in a total of 27 cans and 198 lbs. of dry cat and dog food, which they donated to the Carroll County Animal Shelter. Many thanks to Melissa and her students for thinking of the needs of the shelter animals.

PILGRIM'S PRIDE AND THEIR FUNDRAISER FOR CCHS
- "CRUISIN' FOR CRITTERS"
On May 21, 2011, the folks at Pilgrim's in Carrollton sponsored a very successful motorcycle ride and fundraiser for CCHS - "Cruisin' for Critters". There was also a live radio broadcast during the event. In addition, two of the dogs from the shelter who attended found themselves new families that day. We thank the employees at Pilgrim's for their enthusiastic support.
DR. HONEY DARVAS AND HER
STUDENTS
Dr. Honey Darvas of the Theatre Department at the University of West Georgia asked her students to donate food to the Empty Pet Bowls project this semester. The astonishing result was two car loads of food - one has already been delivered to the storage facility and the second will be delivered this week. Our sincere thanks to Dr. Darvas and her students for their generosity and concern for the needy animals of Carroll County.
MELISSA SANDRENE AND HER
CLASSES
Melissa Sandrene, a biology professor at the University of West Georgia, asked the two biology classes that she taught this quarter to celebrate Earth Day by donating pet food. The response from the two classes was amazing! She estimates that between 65 and 80 students from each class participated and some brought in more than one item! She received so many donations, she was able to deliver one car load to the Carroll County Animal Shelter and another car load to the CCHS Empty Pet Bowls program, which provides pet food for pet owners in financial straits. Needless to say, Ms Sandrene was very proud of the generosity of her students. CCHS would like to thank Ms. Sandrene and her students for their concern and compassion for Carroll County's animals.
SARAH LANDMAN
Sarah LandmanThis is Sarah's 9th bake sale for the animals. She's now a sophomore in high

Carroll County. We also thank Dottie Pittman of Horton's Books and Gifts for
hosting Sarah for so many years.

develop a product to sell, apply for a loan to make the product, and then market

donate their proceeds. The Carroll County Humane Society is honored to have been
chosen as a recipient and is very proud of the students and their achievement.
