April-30 2010 University of Arkansas Students Support FPS FPS has been contacted by two U of A students for media Programs. The students, working independently from each other, will prepare multi-media programs of a few FPS officers and volunteers. This is an assignment associated with a media class on campus. Each media program will last just 2-4 minutes. One, by Danny Meyer, will focus on the BF program and the other, by Luke Gramlic, will cover an overview of the whole organization. Here is a link to one of the projects and a link to YouTube for the other: April-30 2010 FPS to Hold Summer Microchip Clinic The City of Springdale recently passed an ordinance that requires all Springdale pet owners to microchip all cats and dogs by May 13th, 2010. Microchip clinics will be held at the Springdale Shelter by the shelter and are for residents of Springdale. The registration is included and the price is $20. This is part of a bigger plan to reduce the number of dogs in the shelter and, thereby, reduce the number of dogs euthanized. Come on out to the Springdale Shelter on May 1st from 1 PM to 3 PM and on May 5th from 11 AM to 1 PM to get your pets microchipped. See the Springdale Animal Services website for more information March-11 2010 FPS Receives Donation Ian Horton donated $250 on behalf of his mother, Catrina - a FPS volunteer, for her birthday. Thanks to Ian and Catrina for their continued support of FPS.
