Here's the Scoop!

That's what newspaper reporters
say about important stories.

Guess what! My name is Scoop - I'm the BIG news.

I'm on this poster as an example of all the great animals still waiting to be adopted.

My new people liked me right away because I smiled and wagged my tail a LOT. Now they tell me I'm the best dog ever. I get hugs all the time and I give kisses!

I let someone know when I need to go outside, I've never made a mess in the house. I have so many toys there's no time to chew on shoes. I only bark once or twice when strangers come to the door. That's just one of my jobs, I also make sure we all get plenty of exercise going for walks and playing ball.

Share the scoop! Encourage your family and friends to visit a shelter so everyone can find a wonderful companion to love and care for too.

Scoopy's first guest appearance as goodwill ambassador was quite a hit. The kids tuned right into the spread-the-news idea ... signed their poster copies, eager to be added to the ace reporter roster. Several already had potential adopters in mind and many spoke up about their shelter critters, "Mine's the best!"

"May I please pet your dog," proper approach and hand position for the introductory sniff are first lessons at Critter Camp.

Definitely a kid magnet

After lunch, crumb-snatching reward for a job well done

Scoop is a natural for PR work, always attracts attention in public. That gregarious charm will keep him busy making the rounds in classrooms and wherever else he's invited (posters and calling cards below handy in the car at all times).

Any dog with a little extra pawsonality and basic good manners can be a star too. Please share this page with anyone involved in rescue - easy to copy/adjust text and switch pics. I'll be happy to customize if needed, send basic info for a start: MarthaJones1@aol.com

Important: "Poster/card request" must be the subject line. Due to junk mail volume and virus threats, unknowns will be deleted.
