In an effort to find loving homes for animals from Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, CityPlace and Peggy Adams teamed up in December to present the PUP-UP ADOPTION SHOP - a satellite operation of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League. Adoptable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens are available in hopes that families would adopt a pet during the holiday season and into the New Year. The PUP-UP ADOPTION SHOP officially opened Saturday, December 16, 2017 and is located next to H&M on Rosemary Avenue in West Palm Beach. The shop will remain open until the end of March. In addition to pets on site, the store also includes a variety of pet care items and toys for sale with proceeds benefiting the League. Peggy Adams also holds 2 sessions of Kitten Yoga on select Saturdays, allowing participants to relax their mind and body as the kittens provided a stress free environment. All one needed to bring was a yoga mat and we supplied the kittens. Rich Anderson, Executive Director/CEO of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League said, We are so pleased our CityPlace partnership is growing. It makes perfect sense to be in the heart of downtown West Palm Beach during season and it compliments our upcoming Walk for the Animals at CityPlace this March.

4 Launched in 2014, Countdown 2 Zero is a public-private partnership between Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control, and the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners. Its goal is to ensure that all adoptable animals in Palm Beach County are being saved by the year Saving Palm Beach County s Most At-Risk Animals. As part of our Countdown 2 Zero efforts, Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League regularly transfers animals from Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control into our care a total of 497 cats and 763 dogs in Often, these are animals with medical problems that require the kind of special care the county-run shelter can t afford to provide. We want you to meet some of these wonderful, loving animals that you have helped save through your kind and generous support of Peggy Adams. Meet BJ On January 18, 2017, BJ probably thought he was going for his routine walk with his owner s granddaughter when she picked him up and headed out the front door. Little did he know that his life would drastically change that day, as the people he had trusted all his life would decide to do the unthinkable. BJ was a little more than a mile away from the safety of his home when he found himself laying 30 feet below the Blue Heron Bridge. He had been thrown from the structure by the same person who he thought was simply taking him for a walk. Witnesses said they heard BJ crying out in pain after the fall. He struggled to move, but collapsed from his injuries. A lifeguard heard the crying and came to his aid. Remarkably, BJ sustained only minor bruising and physical scars, but his mental scars are surely deeper. In March, Animal Care and Control was awarded custody of BJ and this sweet dog was transferred to Peggy Adams and adopted one month later. Meet Tucker On November 2, 2017, we received a call from Animal Care & Control about a special needs dog that had been hit by a car. Tucker, a two-year old male pit bull mix, had visual wounds to his front and back legs. When he arrived at the League, his front leg had 10 staples and his back left leg was bandaged. Tucker also had abrasions which left him hairless on the top of his head and face. He was given medication for the pain and had to be sedated so that Peggy Adams Dr. Coates could assess his injuries. She determined that his right front leg wound was down to the muscle, with some tendons exposed. His back left leg also had wounds through the skin. The decision was made to have Tucker s injuries evaluated by Dr. Latimer at Jupiter Pet Emergency and Specialty Center. While there, he was diagnosed with multiple fractures of the left front leg and pins were surgically inserted to help stabilize the bones. Tucker was adopted on January 8, Interested in adopting, fostering or donating to the care of injured animals? Please contact us at Info@PeggyAdams.org or call Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League

8 Sandi s Holiday Tail Featured Cats & Dogs to Find Homes for the Holidays! OVER 170,000 VISITORS MEET DUKE THE 12' TALL, 50 TON SAND RESCUE DOG Sandi, the world s ONLY 600-ton sand tree, was back along the West Palm Beach Waterfront with quite the holiday tail to tell! A beloved South Florida holiday tradition, her fans eagerly anticipated her 35 feet of sand sculpted perfection and the fun-filled kingdom of Sandi Land. Sandi s dazzling 2017 debut at the November 30 th Clematis by Night Tree Lighting, featured a new component and Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League couldn t be happier! During the holiday tree lighting, Sandi revealed a big, new personality, and the next chapter in her story, Sandi s Holiday Tail. Since returning to her West Palm Beach home, Sandi had fallen in love and added a Peggy Adams Rescue Dog to her family named Duke! This 12-foot-high, 50-ton sand sculpture was revealed to the delight of the thousands in attendance. Duke sat next to Sandi, keeping a watchful eye on her all month long; proudly wearing his Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League ADOPT ME vest with our logo sculpted beautifully into the sand. All of Sandi Land was pet themed with dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens throughout the entire Downtown Waterfront through December, along with messaging about the importance of spay/neutering pets and saving the lives of adoptable animals. Rich Anderson, Executive Director/CEO of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League said, We are thrilled we were chosen to partner with the City of West Palm Beach on this annual holiday tradition. We love the message the City and Sandi promoted Adopt, Don t Shop for Pets it fit perfectly with the League s Mission. Anderson continued with, This added exposure helped many area shelter pets find their forever family during the holidays.

9 The Loss of a Beloved Pet... A Veterinarian's Perspective Dr. Beth Keser One of the hardest jobs as a veterinarian is to be involved in the end of life process. It is not easy it will never be easy and it is always taken very seriously. Practically every day, I'm involved with a decision related to humane euthanasia. I took an oath to do no harm and to end all suffering. Over the years, I somehow learned how to put euthanasia in a special place. I am confident that the decision to end the suffering of an animal is the best thing we can do for the pet, (even when it is often the hardest thing for the owner). But when this experience came home for me, all that professional detachment became moot. I was a mom losing her child, and not a doctor in a white coat. While I have always respected and cared for people needing to alleviate their animals suffering, I now have empathy and an understanding that are deeply personal. food. Nothing improved, nothing was working. I tried IV fluids, concoctions, formulas, and medications. Yet, I failed. That day, I looked in his eyes and I knew the end was coming. The question I ve been asked more times that I can count is, When, do I intervene? When is the right time? Now, I sat on the other side and just felt lost and helpless. Boomer picked his head up and looked right at me. I ran to his bed, he nuzzled his head in my lap and... all at once he left me! The pain was gutwrenching and the tears flowed. This was serious pain the pain of a loss that I never experienced before. This felt as wrenching as a human death must feel. He was, even in that short time, our family. Our four-legged children ask for nothing. Just love, companionship, food, water and a place to lay their head. I'm comforted in knowing that my son and I gave all this to our Boomer, but the hole in my heart that I have, I never imagined would be so big. I feel like it might never heal. My Great Dane, named Boomer, walked into the shelter and right into my life in March of This breed, like all giant breeds, typically has a shortened lifespan, and this big guy had a mild abnormality that put him at further risk. Despite this, I chose to take him home with me. I told my son that we might have him for six days, six weeks, six months or six years, but we were going to give him the best home we could. I was so naïve. While I was prepping my son for the possibility of the inevitable, I never in my heart or thoughts considered my own feelings. Then again, why would I? I've been a practicing veterinarian for 15+ years and I deal with death all the time. Heck!!! I consistently help people with their grief and the loss of their animals. Reality check: September 2017, Hurricane Irma came to town. I packed my things and grabbed my crew to stay at the shelter. Boomer was with me, but seemed not quite right. He was losing weight and wasn't eating. With all my knowledge and experience, I couldn't turn him around. I tried to feed him everything; the best dog food, the not-so-best dog food even raw dog I couldn't save my boy. I'm a trained professional and there was nothing I could do. I cannot adequately express my love for this four-legged, 135 pound walking heart. He saved me when I didn't even know I needed to be saved. He opened my heart when he walked into my office and allowed me to hold his head as he took his last breath. Thank you, BoomerBoomBoom, for allowing me to love you. Please consider adopting an older animal or becoming a Fospice Parent. A Fospice Parent provides permanent fostering of older animals, long-term animals, and animals with medical conditions which would preclude them from being placed in a loving home through our adoption program. All Fospice animals will receive routine medical care, food, litter, medication and other supplies as needed. For more information about the Fospice Program, visit PeggyAdams.org/Fospice-Program

10 The Leadership Circle is made up of friends who have made generous fiveyear pledges to Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League (ranging from $1,000/year to as high as $100,000/year!). This is an incredible lifesaving opportunity starting at as little as $2.74/day or $83/month. We launched the Leadership Circle both to help meet the needs of animals rescued today and to build a foundation of secure support for animals coming our way in future years, explains Rich Anderson, Executive Director/CEO of the League.

This elegant, black-tie, holiday affair supports the mission of saving the lives of homeless, neglected and injured dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens. Pauline Pitt, a dedicated League supporter and board member, enthusiastically served as Chairwoman. This enchanting evening, filled with holiday lights, garlands, festive Christmas trees and decorations, opened with a receiving line of adorable, adoptable pets on the red carpet greeting guests with tails a-wagging. Guests enjoyed cocktails, dinner and live entertainment, and also viewed renderings of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue Leagues highly anticipated campus expansion.

This parade of precious pets resulted in a few furry friends finding their new loving forever homes! We are very grateful for the support of so many who help the animals at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, said Rich Anderson, Executive Director/CEO of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League.
