This year Shakespeare Animal Fund has continued helping hundreds of suffering
animals in this area by paying emergency vet bills, sometimes as much as $4,000
a month. And in order to keep on doing what we are doing we are planning a gala
fundraiser, Applause for Paws.
Held at Circus Circus from 6:00 to 9:00 on August 13th, this lively event has
lots of fun things to offer including a mini performance by world renown JR
Johns and his amazing dogs plus music all evening and a variety of unique
musical performances. Guests will also enjoy a glass of complimentary champagne,
a chocolate fountain as well as hot and cold appetizers and an elegant silent
auction.
And we need your help. We are looking for unique silent auction items and would
very much appreciate a donation from you. We are hoping to raise a great deal of
money through our auction, and so we’re looking for auction items that have a
great appeal to participants.

Some Special Thoughts
The
one absolutely unselfish friend
That a man can have
In this selfish world,
The one that never deserts him,
The one that never proves ungrateful
Or treacherous, is his dog…
He will kiss the hand that has
No food to offer…
When all other friends desert, he remains. George G. Vest: Speech U.S. Senate, 1884
"How you behave toward cats here below determines your
status in Heaven." - Robert A. Heinlein
History is more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends. Alexander Pope
"There
are many intelligent species in the universe. They are all owned by cats."
