Once again, a lively atmosphere will be created by
auctioneer John Kruesel and his sidekick, long-term
volunteer and Board member, Dan Estes. Be ready
to raise your number to bid as we raise funds for
the animals in our care. We hope to see you there!

Jacque moved to Rochester in 1984 and retired almost
four years ago from Mayo Clinic, after working there for
30 years. She has an adult stepdaughter and five beautiful
grandchildren, from nine years old to college age.

Puppy Yoga
O n three Saturdays in March and April, up to 30 people
gathered at Assisi Heights for a fun morning of moving
and stretching with some of the cutest yoga partners
around – puppies! Paws and Claws Board Member Jessica
Smidt and Stephanie Clark of Mayo Clinic Integrative
Health were the organizers of this “Paws and Poses”
event, where Mayo Employees brought donations for
Paws and Claws for the opportunity to spend some time
on the mat with some furry friends. The idea was to take
two stress-reducing activities – yoga and pet interaction
– and combine them to see what would happen. Two
local yoga teachers, Carolyn Isaak and Marion Pitts, led Right: Carolyn Isaak poses with an

The yoga poses gave the participants opportunities to
pet a passing pup or work them into the pose. There
was a lot of laughter at the pups’ antics and at the end of
the sessions both the participants and the puppies were
more relaxed. Some yogis were lucky enough to have
an exhausted puppy take a nap on their mat or their lap
at the end of class! We were able to share some of the
fun via Facebook Live on the Paws and Claws Facebook
page. The classes didn’t directly lead to adoptions, and
didn’t raise a lot of money, but the goodwill and fun were
through the roof!
2018 Rummage Sale a Smashing Success
I n early June each year, Paws and Claws holds a rummage sale. This year it was
the weekend of June 8-10. The sale has been taking place for nearly two decades and
continues to grow. All year, volunteers work to sort donations we can’t directly use
with our animals to get them ready for the sale. The week before the sale, an army
of volunteers was assembled and worked to sort and tag donations that came in all
week. The generosity of our supporters who donate to the sale cannot go without
mention. This year, our thoughtful supporters brought lunch and refreshments for
the volunteers. The volunteers were so grateful because many of them had worked
through the unusual heat of the prior weekend to be ready for the sale.
With all the donations, we filled an entire building at the Olmsted County
Fairgrounds! It may have even over-flowed a bit! The first year we earned $10, 000
dollars at our sale, we were ecstatic. However, this year exceeded all our expectations!
After counting all the quarters, our final tally was over $21,000! This sum will go far
in helping the many cats and dogs who come through our doors each day, for their
chance at a better life.
There were many individuals that made this event happen! Throughout the year,
our staff carried donated items up to the attic. Additionally, over 100 volunteers who
participated in this event. Our heartfelt thanks to each person who worked, donated,
A long line of shoppers head into the or shopped the sale. Finally, huge thanks to Carol Fealey for leading the charge! We
