Darke County Animal Shelter
Canine Capers 4H Club -- June Meeting 2012
by Hanna Rice & Madison Doss 

The June 2012 meeting for Canine Capers was called to order on June 18th at 7:10pm by President Hannah Cloyd.  The meeting was held at the Darke County Animal Shelter on County Home Rd, just outside of Greenville. 

The pledges were led by Hannah Berry and Sara Rice. Secretary Courtney Rose took roll call by saying your favorite color, and she gave the Secretary’s Report.  Twenty-one members were present. Zachary Bevins gave the Treasurer’s Report, and Nicole Berry shared a health tip about cleaning cuts well to avoid infection. 

Old business included reminders about state fair forms, dog license copies, dates for the group photo, posters, and king and queen papers. 

In new business, advisers talked about attending skill-a-thon or writing an essay to replace skill-a-thon, Fun Match details, ideas for the float and booth, and Jr. Fair Board sign-ups. We also talked about planting a tree in the new dog park that is coming soon, or putting a bench in that says Canine Capers.            

Before the meeting, we were given an educational tour of the animal shelter guided by Tara Crafton. The shelter has 25 dog kennels, plus a puppy room, and they have plans to expand with an outdoor dog park that will be open to the public.  

There are several dogs waiting for adoption.  The shelter puts pictures of available dogs on display at Walmart, in the newspaper, and online.  Dogs have been adopted from several states thanks to online pet sites. 

While the shelter is primarily for dogs, they also have several cats waiting for adoption. We saw a litter of newborn kittens and learned that cats have no adoption fee. 

All of the waiting pets need good homes, and most of them are ready to be adopted.
