Fire donations total $95,000!

Shelter Fire Benefit Raises $15,000

Approximately 150 friends of the animals came out Sunday, April 27, to remember the victims of the February 28 fire and to pay tribute to all the animals whose destinies bring them through the shelter doors.

Thanks to donations, drawings for donated prizes and a silent auction, the money raised brings fire-related cash donations to $95,000! With that, the shelter can begin replacing the destroyed trailer, kennels and other equipment and supplies that were lost, as well as upgrade other areas of the shelter so the animals will have a safer place to stay until the new shelter is built.

Four shelter videos, including two made immediately after the fire, were shown for the first time to the attendees. Watch for them to be added to the website soon.

We are so grateful to everybody who has contributed to help us through the fire tragedy, and we thank Storm Entertainment for the use of their facility. Thanks, too, to the Temecula Valley Woman's Club, who is always ready and willing to help us whenever the need arises, for the $2000 check presented by Jeanette-Marie Bassi on their behalf.

We look forward to making a shelter benefit an annual event.

Will You Be "Pet" Prepared in Case of a Disaster?

Living in California, we know it's only a matter of time until we are faced with a natural disaster. Earthquakes, fires, floods, mudslides -- all come when we least expect them. After last year's firestorms, many Californians realize how important it is to be prepared to leave home fast. We all should have emergency kits and supplies ready at all times. But don't forget to prepare your pets, too!


AFV Animals Featured in Murrieta Student's
Winning PTA Video

Valerie Ferro, a 10-year-old student at Tovashal Elementary School in Murrieta, entered a PTA contest called "Reflections" last October. She created a video, part of which she shot at AFV, and won the contest at her school. She then went on to win at the Murrieta Valley Unified School District. Valerie's mom placed the video on You Tube where it was linked to by World News Network for an article they did.

We applaud Valerie's efforts "to make people aware of the terrible plight of these animals and to try to help them." She is certainly a talented young lady and we are proud to be part of her video!

View Valerlie's video.


Now is the Time to Buy A Brick!

Groundbreaking for the new shelter is coming up soon, so now is the time to make your brick purchase if you still haven't done so. Bricks make great gifts, too!

Your brick will be engraved with three lines of your choosing and will be incorporated into the new shelter building, so don't miss your chance to become part of shelter history! Bricks are $50 each. More information can be found on our donation page.

There also are opportunities for donors who wish to dedicate a kennel, adoption room, spay/neuter clinic, classroom, etc. If you are interested in seeing your name as a donor on one of these spaces, please call executive director Willa Bagwell at 951-674-0618.
