🐾💕🐱🐶👉BIG NEWS!!!!!
After 14 years we have finally started a placemat out in the Canajoharie/Fort Plain/Palatine Bridge/St. Johnsville area! We will be featuring Ayres Memorial Animal Shelter and a guest shelter each time we do a run. So incredibly grateful to all of the advertisers and restaurant owners who said "YES" we will try this. Friendly and amazing folks up that way! They LOVE pets as much as we do!! Only good things to come as we keep moving and adding ideas to help shelter pets get noticed. Please say thank you to the restaurant owners and advertisers when you see these out on the tables. EVERY single pair of eyes is or may know of a potential adopter to give a pet a forever home. WE LOVE WHAT WE DO!! Now off to work because we are not quite there yet....💕

Sometimes I have to pinch myself - the feeling I get when I send off another mat to the shelter is hard to explain. I pray that with all the work we do to get these out and with the support of the people who make it happen that some of these beautiful pets will find forever homes. This mat will go out Saturday, October 10th. Thanks to everyone involved, we truly appreciate you. 💕🐾🐶🐱

Who is going to meet Zeus?? So cute!!

Just look at Zeus. Those eyes. That face... 💙🐶

Zeus is as sweet as they come, but the shelter has been so hard on him. He's stressed, confused, and struggling with separation anxiety - and all he really wants is a person of his own. Someone to follow around, lean on, and love.

He's hoping for a foster or forever home where he can finally relax and feel safe. A calm home, a consistent human, and a little patience could make all the difference for this very good boy.

If this face is tugging at your heart, please reach out. Zeus is ready for his next chapter. 🫶

I am in love with what we do! 140 placemats after I sat on my couch and dreamed up an idea that had never been done before in this fashion. 140 times putting faces of adorable adoptable animals in front of over 50k people in each 7 week period. We are so very grateful to everyone who has continued to be on this journey with us. THANK YOU ALL!!
Watch for more wonderful faces in the We Call This HOME Magazine coming soon!

We got so busy with the Holiday that I forgot to post the last placemat. If you see your forever friend on here or you think someone you know may be interested in adopting, please let them know so they can go visit them! Also, be sure to mention you saw these advertisers on the mat, as they and the restaurants who use them make this possible for the pets that need homes. Grateful to all involved, always!

I haven't posted in a while on this page. I see it is getting views so I wanted to update everyone. We are now working on the next magazine - the entire idea to publish this magazine came from the fact that there is GOOD all around us. As you all know it started with how GOOD it is to adopt and have a pet to love (or two or six). That fact could not be more true. All the work and money to keep them safe and healthy comes back to you a zillion fold in the unconditional love they provide to you and your family. They are just so grateful to be yours. So we continue to do placemats every seven weeks and we continue to place the Crazy About Pets magazine inside of our We Call This HOME Magazine. There is never a shortage of fantastic stories, the issue will always be the time and energy it takes to get them on the pages. Make no mistake, we LOVE what we do. We have been graced with so many new friends thoughout this journey who share our same sentiments. As the magazine progresses, we will update you on the progress. Special thanks to Watphoto Professional Photography Services Bill Trojann Charles Bradley Brown and his Momma and everyone who has already committed to a story for this issue. Tons of work ahead but we know it will come out great and this is the right time to focus on the GOOD.
Stay Tuned!

Because of all that is going on I forgot to post the last placemat. AND...we are already working on the next one. I have my list of those waiting to get on, I promise, when and if anyone hops off you will be called - We are incredibly grateful for the support we have received for almost 13 years now! These pets need every chance they can get to get seen and possibly adopted into forever homes. Thank you advertisers and restaurants for the support!!
If you see a business you know or you frequent a restaurant who uses our mats please give them a shout out for continuing to sponsor this placemat. WE LOVE WHAT WE DO!!

If you were on the fence about running an ad in our We Call This HOME Magazine spin-off for the summer "Get Off Your APP & Go" issue #2, you may want to consider it next time! Four weeks after delivering 6,100+ magazines to area businesses, we find ourselves with 1.5 boxes of "50 copies" left and a few in the hands of others distributing them for us. THEY ARE GONE from many of the places we have put them in. People do appreciate PRINTED publications still! They do enjoy reading stories about their area and they do benefit from knowing that we have a fantastic amount of businesses in this area for them to shop at or get services from. Added bonus of course is the chance our local shelter/rescue pets get to be noticed and adopted.
Did I mention that we LOVE WHAT WE DO?❤

Many thanks to all involved in this publication, we appreciate every single one of you more than you know!!

Cannot wait to get started on the next We Call We Call This HOME Magazine

This one came out last month, we are late getting it up. Mike and I are so grateful for all of the support we have received with the placemat and magazines, as always! Please support the businesses on it and in the magazines. They are helping us get the word out about pets who need homes.
We ❤ what we do!
