Our New Year's Resolutions

2012 was a great year for the Woodford Humane Society; our already-high placement rate was even higher than it has been in years past, our pets stayed healthier and happier, and we got to see more than a few long-term residents go home.  That’s hard to top, so we’re looking to the wisdom of our furry (and sometimes feathery or scaly) friends to help us make 2013 better still.  Here’s what we learned. 

In 2013 we will:

Purr loudly and for no reason, just to brighten someone’s day.

Always share our toys – tug o’ war gets old pretty fast when you won’t let anybody grab the other end of the rope.

Cuddle a kitty every day.  It keeps them happy, and it keeps us young; our cageless cat colony rooms are practically the fountain of youth.

Enjoy the treats life tosses our way – our favorite treats are the wonderful volunteers, adopters, and supporters who keep us going…but we hear milkbones are pretty good, too.

Stop to smell the flowers.  And then eat the flowers.  We haven’t figured out why that’s so important, but our pets insist it is. 

Put on the ThunderShirt of family and friends when things get stormy, because nothing makes you feel better than a hug. 

Be the ThunderShirt for others when they’re weathering their own storms.

Nap in sunbeams to save on heating costs. 

But most important of all: Go home! Sit! Stay!  We will find loving, wonderful homes for hundreds of our furry friends, of all shapes, sizes, and ages, who have taught us so much about living life to the fullest. 

Thanks to all of the people and pets who made 2012 a success for us at Woodford Humane!  2013 is off to a great start, and we know that with your help (and a little wisdom from our furry friends) it will be a huge success.  To find out how you can get involved, give us a call at 859.873.5491 or drop us a line at manager@woodfordhumane.org.

Oh, and one last thing: we’re finally going to catch that red dot.
