I would have used my teeth in fear, if not for your gentle hand. I would have left this life believing that all humans don't care … there is no such thing as fur that isn't matted ... skin that isn't flea bitten … good food and enough of it ... beds to sleep on ... someone to love me, to show me I deserve love, just because I exist. Your kind eyes… Your loving smile… Your gentle hands… Your big heart saved me! You saved me from the terror of dying on the street. You have soothed away the memories of my old life. You have taught me what it means to be loved. I have seen you do the same for others just like me. I have heard you ask yourself in times of despair, “Why do I do it… When there is no more money... No more room... No more homes???” I see you open your heart a little bigger... stretch the money a little tighter... make just a little more room... to save one more… like me. I tell you this with all the gratitude and love that shines in my eyes. It is the best way I know how to remind you why you go on trying.... I AM THE REASON The others before me are the reason, As are the ones who come after. Our lives would've been wasted... Our love never given... I WOULD HAVE DIED THAT DAY IF NOT FOR YOU!

| Belle finds a home! The dog who has lived at Project Hope longer than any other resident finally has a new home. Belle is a very sweet, docile black lab that has been with us for nearly six years. The couple who decided to adopt her read about her in the Paducah Sun article covering Pawsitively Posh. They had already adopted another Project Hope dog named Jade, and after reading about Belle's long wait, decided to make her a part of their family! |

| THANK YOU, SOUTHERN ILLINOIS HEALTH CARE! Project Hope recently received a much-needed donation in the form of a 1998 white cargo van from Southern Illinois Health Care. This replaces the older van whose transmission gave out a few months ago. The van will be used to transport animals for vet visits and adoption days at Petsmart and other locations. A heart-felt thank you goes out to SIH! |

| THANK YOU, JERRY YATES! Thank you so much for allowing us to help you on the electrical project. We all enjoyed the electrical work. We installed a 100 amp service to the building and ran conduit and wires for 12 lights and 4 outlets and everything worked out fine. Jerry Yates |

New Fundraising Opportunity For Project Hope If you’ve got an item you no longer want, that might bring some money for Project Hope, just drop it by the new eAuction Depot eBay drop-off store at 5153 Hinkleville Road next to Subway, near Kentucky Oaks Mall (across from Lowes). They do all the posting, shipping and sell it for us. Project Hope receives most of the money. The Project Hope Humane Society account is already set up--just be sure to tell them it’s for Project Hope. |

Our supply of cat litter at the Project Hope Animal Shelter is
running extremely low. If you could take the time and drop off a
bag or two of cat litter it would be greatly appreciated. |
Do You Have The Right Stuff?Do you have what it takes to be a foster parent, or have you ever thought of fostering a dog or cat? The shelter has many animals that are eligible for fostering. Fostering can help reduce stress while providing needed training for the pets. The animals sheltered at Project Hope need your loving touch, someone to play with them, someone to help keep their homes clean. Won't you consider sharing a little of your time with them?
