Together We Did It!

 A huge thank you to FROMM Family Foods and all our customers for making our goal of $5,000 toward the new-to-them PAWS & More Transport Van. With Leash on Life and Fromm making donations for each and every bag or can purchased by you during our campaign, we met our goal! That is VAN-TASTIC. After accepting our check, Director Amber Talbot and Board member Terry Woods left to go van shopping.

We couldn't have done this without the generous support of Fromm Family Foods and great customers. Both of you care about the right things in life.

  Adoptable Pet of the Month, Ian & Kaia…
Ian & Kaia arrived at the Center overweight. Ian is about 5 years old and purrs for chin rubs. Kaia is a sweet 12 years old. She has an old eye injury which does not bother her. These two are very bonded and the Center would like them adopted together.  Both are available through the Iowa City Adoption Center.
