It would take more space than we have here to try to express our feelings for Amanda Allender. Once again, she showed how caring and compassionate and selfless she is. Last year, Amanda asked for her birthday gifts to be ones for the pets that Pro-Bone-O helps. For a 7 year old, we thought that was amazing.

Well, guess what? She did it again! Words can't even begin to express how great we think Amanda is or what her generosity means to everyone involved with Pro-Bone-O. All we can say is:

"Thank you, Amanda, with ALL our hearts."

Mother's Day 2007

For our third annual Mother's Day card fund raiser, 1st graders at Edgewood Community hand-crafted cards from origami paper. Every card was unique and absolutely incredible. These cards brought smiles to many mothers across the country as they received their one-of-a-kind message of love.

These are two samples from this year's Mother's Day cards. We wish you could see them in person because these images do not do these cards justice.

THANKS TO THE FIRST-GRADE CLASS AT EDGEWOOD!

YOU ARE JUST TOO COOL - AND SO ARTISTIC!!

What a wonderful surprise for everyone!

THANK YOU, SKYE!

Our Thank You's are generally reserved for kids. It's our way of showing our community how involved our younger generation is - how concerned and caring they are - and what they are doing to help.

However, one organization in our community has supported Pro-Bone-O's spay/neuter efforts over the years and these donations deserve a very special Thank You.

S.A.R.A. is a wonderful organization that assists and advocates for dogs and cats at local and regional animal control shelters. It also assists other groups when funds permit. Pro-Bone-O is one of the groups that has benefitted from S.A.R.A.'s commitment to spaying and neutering companion animals.

S.A.R.A. recently donated $100 to Pro-Bone-O to cover the spay of a bully-type dog. This donation was one of many that Pro-Bone-O has received over the years from S.A.R.A. Because of its generosity, we have been able to spay and neuter many bully-breed dogs and help in our small way to reduce the numbers of these dogs that face uncertain futures, end up in shelters, or are routinely euthanized simply because of the kind of dog they are.

We thank S.A.R.A. for its continued support and belief in us.

Our community is fortunate to have these young people growing up here. They look beyond themselves, see a need and do something about it. How much better does it get than that?

THANK YOU EDGEWOOD!

YOU ROCK!!

This generous, compassionate young lady decided that homeless pets could use presents more than she could so she enlisted the aid of friends and classmates and made a huge difference in the lives of these pets - and their humans.

Amanda and her mom delivered food, treats, and toys to one of our recent clinics and shared her birthday wish to everyone there. What an incredible way to celebrate a birthday - giving and sharing in a way that makes everyone feel good. Wow!

WAY TO GO, AMANDA!!

THANK YOU!!

Pro-Bone-O was honored to be selected as a community service project by Marty Smith's 2006 ACT classes at Roosevelt Middle School.

We were delighted and surprised by the commitment and energy the ACT students showed in their enthusiasm and creativity to solicit donations for Pro-Bone-O.

And we were stunned to receive a huge donation of toys, food, collars, leashes, treats, and a $2,000 check to continue the much needed veterinary care given to the beloved pets who are treated at our clinics.

The ACT students are making a very big difference in the lives of so many and on their behalf, we give a heartfelt

THANK YOU!!
