AT HOME VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY AVAILABLE
Looking for an easy way to get involved in the mission of PAW? We need someone
to help us craft, print, and mail out thank you notes to people who send in donations to
PAW. We have samples of what has been used in the past that you can use as a
starting point, but really need some fresh ideas. This is not a labor-intensive
volunteering opportunity, but it is VERY important. Our donors enable PAW to save
lives. If interested, please contact Robin Vinopal at accounting@paw-rescue.org

We hope you're able to find time to take care of yourself this week. We know
these days, weeks, and months have been difficult for so many, especially
those working on the front lines. Take some time to snuggle with a dog, cat, or
equine. Go on a walk somewhere you enjoy. Practice self-care. And check out
these online resources to help you and your staff address compassion fatigue:
• ASPCApro Online Course: Caring this Much is Exhausting! The Emotional Challenges of Working in an
Animal Shelter or Rescue Environment (Use enrollment key "aspcapro" if registering for the first time)
• Animalsheltering.org: Caring for animals means caring for yourself
• AWAA: Going Through Hell? Keep Going! Series

Pet Valu going belly up (Information received through Montgomery County Store
Reporter Newsletter 11/5/2020). Despite the fact that nearly everyone you know has
adopted a dog or cat during the pandemic, the Pet Valu retail chain is going out of
business after 25 years. The Pennsylvania-based company says coronavirus
“significantly impacted” its sales, and all 358 stores will be closing — including the
ones at Cabin John Village, Laurel and Fallsgrove. Clearance sales begin this
weekend.

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS AND TRAINING VIDEOS BY YOUR DOG’S
FRIEND– For details, location, and to register for a workshop, visit Your Dog's
Friend at https://yourdogsfriend.org/free-workshops. Or call 301-983-5913.
Instead of meeting in person, workshops will be webinars that can be joined
from your computer, tablet, or phone. You will still be able to ask questions.
A Holistic Approach to Health & Behavior Issues - Saturday, November
14, 3:00 – 5:00. Has your easygoing puppy become fearful? Are you frustrated
with your adult dog’s over-the-top activity? Do you lose sleep because of your
elderly dog’s restlessness at night? These and other behavior challenges can be
correlated to health problems, such as food allergies or skin diseases. At the same time, behavior problems or
behavioral changes can be early warning signs of developing health risks, such as cardiac disease or vaccine
reactions. Speaker Terri Grow draws on her Traditional Chinese Medicine training and holistic pet care
experience to help you understand and use holistic methods to care for your pet. Case studies demonstrating how
foods can be used as therapies, the benefits and cautions of medicinal herbs, and other natural remedies will be
discussed.
Speaker: Terri Grow ; www.PetSage.com Please click to register in advance so that we can email you the info
you’ll need to join the webinar.
Advice for Adopters – monthly guidance for adopters, potential adopters & fosters – Sunday, November
15, 2:00 – 4:00. Learn how to make life with your adopted dog easier and more fun! Come hear a trainer discuss
dog training and behavior, helpful pet products, and the many common issues that dog adopters face. There is also
time to discuss your individual concerns. This workshop is a must for new adopters but will also help those of you
who have lived with your dog longer. Potential adopters and foster parents are welcome.
Presented by Sarah Stoycos, KPA-CTP (www.laughingdogacademy.com); Lisa Arant
(www.smallandtalldogtraining.com); Susan Sanderson, PMCT2, KPA-CTP (www.joyfuldogllc.com); or Marnie
Montgomery, PMCT3, CPDT-KA (www.joyfuldogllc.com). Please register in advance so that we can email you

CRITICAL NEED OF FOSTER HOMES
COSMO is a 3-year old, 48-pound Treeing Walker
Coonhound. He is small for his breed and the good
news is he is full grown!! He has some energy to him
and would make a good jogging buddy. He is also very
sweet, playful and with a swipe of his paw on your arm
he lets you know that he wants some loving! If you are
interested in fostering COSMO, please contact Tracy
Crotty at mtetm@yahoo.com.
AVA is an 8 month old. 51 pound Labrador Retriever
mix. She is a friendly girl but can be shy at times. She
responds well to reassurances. She can be a little
apprehensive meeting new dogs. If you are interested in
fostering AVA, please contact Tracy Crotty
at mtetm@yahoo.com.
ROCKY was recently returned to PAW after three
years with his adoptive family. He is very scared and
shy. The family decided they didn’t want to work on his
fears. We are still learning about him but know that he
is a 75-pound Coon Hound and in desperate need of a
stable situation. If you are interested in fostering
ROCKY, please contact Dave Campbell at dog-
coordinator@paw-rescue.org.

DAVINA is a 2 year old, 46 pound, husky mix with
beautiful eyes. She is new to PAW and we will update as
we get to know her. If interested in fostering DAVINA,
please contact Dave Campbell at dog-coordinator@paw-
rescue.org.
GUS is a 6 month old (as of October), 40 pound,
hound mix. Gus is a bit timid; he was found in an empty
lot where he’d spent his first 5 months of life until he
was rescued. He will warm up once he gets to know
you! We will update this once we get to know him
better. If interested in fostering GUS, please contact
Dave Campbell at dog-coordinator@paw-rescue.org.
BENTLEY is a 3 year old, 75 pound Red Tick/
Coonhound mix. He is sweet and loving and loves to be
around other dogs. Please note that due to his size he
would not be good with children under 15. He is new to
PAW and we will update as we get to know him better.
If you are interested in fostering BENTLEY, please
contact Tracy Crotty at mtetm@yahoo.com.

ADOPTION SHOWS CANCELLED
ADOPTION SHOWS CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE: Due to the COVID-19 State of
Emergency declared by Governor Hogan, PAW has suspended all adoption events. Our mission remains
unchanged during this period: we are a group of volunteers chartered to facilitate the rescue and adoption of
homeless domestic animals, mainly dogs and cats, and place them in loving and stable homes. We are still in
the business of saving animals! As such,
• ADOPTIONS WILL CONTINUE. If anyone is interested in adopting, we ask that they apply via our
website, and we will schedule a meet and greet.
• SOME DOG WALKING WILL CONTINUE. If you are going a little stir crazy while you are keeping
a social distance, consider volunteering to walk one of our dogs. Please contact our Dog Walking
Coordinators to check availability.
o College Park Animal Hospital (CPAH): Lou Montgomery dogfanatic@gmail.com
o Preston Columbia Kennel: Tracy Crotty mtetm@yahoo.com.
o Rockville Sniffers Kennel: Daniel Aldana dan_aldana@yahoo.com
• FOSTER HOMES ARE ALWAYS NEEDED: You are at home anyway; wouldn’t it be fun to have a
companion who would be eternally grateful? If interested, contact Dave Campbell at dog-
coordinator@paw-rescue.org or Heather Nawrocki at cat-coordinator@paw-rescue.org.
