Another successful vaccine clinic is now on the books!
Even though it was a cold and windy day over 830 animals were vaccinated in four hours.
A big thank you goes out to all the volunteers that help make this event possible. There are too many to list individually, but every single one of you are appreciated.
Thank you to Dr. Tim and Dr. Jim for volunteering their time to vaccinate the animals.
Many, many hours go into preparing for this event. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped out before the big event by doing many of the jobs that needed to be done.
Thank you to Dave Coleman for allowing us to hold the vaccine clinic at the Centerstage.
Thank you to Pam Porteous, our Animal Care Network manager in Pontiac, who puts the vaccine clinic together and makes sure it runs smoothly.
Thank you to everyone who showed up to have their animals vaccinated. A healthy pet is a happy pet! We love good pet owners.

Boy Scout builds new digs for Pontiac dogs

Of The Oakland Press
PONTIAC — When Jacq, a 5-year-old pit bull terrier, received a new, insulated doghouse with his name on it, he jumped around in excitement before going right inside.
“They’re awesome,” said Jacq’s owner, Debra Wilson, of the Animal Care Network volunteers who delivered the doghouse on Saturday. “I thank god for them.”
Inside Wilson’s home near Baldwin School Park, Christmas stockings hang over the fireplace for Jacq and Kodee, her 3 pound teacup chihuahua.
The Animal Care Network has helped out with food and vaccinations for Wilson’s dogs, she said.
“If I take too long to call them, they call me and ask if I need anything,” Wilson said.
Jacq’s new doghouse was built by Jacob Thoma, 15, as a project for Boy Scout Troop 326, based at St. Patrick’s Parish in White Lake Township.
The West Bloomfield teen said he built the doghouses as his Eagle Scout project after finding out that Animal Care Network needed them.
“We had a great, great day,” said Pam Porteous, who has volunteered with Animal Care Network since its inception in 1994. “It went very well.”
The volunteers delivered a total of five doghouses in Pontiac on Saturday.

This is a poem written from the heart by Animal Care Network Manager Pam and also through ACN volunteers eyes.
This is a very difficult, sad thing to witness. Unfortunately we are witness to it each day and it breaks our hearts!!! ACN does all that we can to rescue, educate, assist and make their lives better and more comfortable, if even for a moment. Even if our only option is to offer a humane and dignified euthanasia.
