Meet Sasha — A Sweet Girl Learning to Trust!

Sasha is a beautiful young girl, between 1 and 2 years old, with a sweet personality and a playful spirit!

Born to an outdoor mom that Bay State Animal Cooperative has been watching over and caring for, Sasha is now discovering the comforts of life indoors. She’s making wonderful progress in her foster home, slowly learning to trust people and showing just how much she loves to play!

Sasha will be available for adoption soon, and we can’t wait for her to find the loving forever home she deserves. To stay up to date on her progress, email [email protected].

Who knows? Maybe Sasha was outside looking for you all along!

Giving Tuesday: Helping Our Four-Legged Friends

By Michele Taranto

After the shopping frenzy of Black Friday and Cyber Monday comes a day dedicated to giving back!

Giving Tuesday, December 1, is a worldwide celebration of generosity, and it’s the perfect opportunity to remember our four-legged friends in need.

Local animal rescues and shelters rely heavily on donations and volunteers to care for homeless, abandoned, and injured animals. Whether it’s a financial contribution, a bag of pet food, blankets, toys, or a few hours of volunteer time, every little bit helps.

Right here in Norwood, threae organizations are making a difference:

Bay State Animal Cooperative (BSAC) rescues and cares for cats in need, provides foster care, and supports spay/neuter programs.

Charley’s Angels Pet Initiative (CAPI) helps families experiencing financial difficulties provide food, supplies, and necessary veterinary care for their pets, helping keep animals in the homes where they are loved.

Norwood Animal Shelter provides care and assistance to lost, abandoned, and homeless animals while working to reunite pets with their families or find them loving new homes.

Location: 160 Boston Providence Highway, Norwood
Phone: 781-762-3159 (Norwood Animal Control)

As the holiday season begins, consider adding one of these local organizations to your Giving Tuesday list. Our furry friends may not have shopping lists, but they certainly have needs. Consider these worthy organizations not just for Giving Tuesday, but any Tuesday; their needs are not limited to the holidays.

A little kindness can go a long way, especially when it comes with four paws and a wagging tail!

CAPI’s First Pocketbook Bingo a Big Success!

Charley’s Angels Pet Initiative (CAPI) had plenty to celebrate with its first-ever Pocketbook Bingo event! The fundraiser was a great success, raising much-needed funds through admission fees while a special pet food raffle helped stock the organization’s shelves with donations of dog and cat food.

CAPI extends a heartfelt thank-you to the generous sponsors who donated raffle prizes, the dedicated CAPI volunteers who helped make the event possible, and Workman Hall for its support.

Missed out on the fun? Don’t worry! Plans are already underway for another Pocketbook Bingo in the spring, just in time to win a fabulous new bag for summer!

Next up, CAPI is getting into the holiday spirit with Pet Photos with Santa, featuring a special appearance by none other than the Grinch! The event will take place on December 13 at Castle Island Brewing. Watch for more details in next month’s edition!
