Statement from SARA Executive Director regarding the imminent closure of LCAS May 1st, 2008

**  Please Visit Us at SARA's TREASURES GIFT and THRIFT STORE * 871 River Road in Eugene * Open 10AM - 6PM Everyday * 607-8892  ** 

Thanks to your support we have rescued 955 dogs and 650 cats.

We have also assisted other rescue groups by sponsoring the spay/neuter of 139 cats and 23 dogs for low income families, which we estimate will save the lives of at least 1390 shelter cats and 368 shelter dogs.

S.A.R.A. supports The Willamette Animal Guild's effort to establish a full time low cost/high volume spay-neuter clinic in Lane County. Please help control pet overpopulation by giving generously to WAG: www.wagwag.org.

• S.A.R.A.'s Treasures now offers a variety of top quality retail cat and dog food and supplies including: California Natural; Innova; Evo; WildSide Salmon; Karma; DrinkWell; Hotcat and GoCat toys.

NEW HAPPY TAIL!
	BANDIT Dear S.A.R.A.S We are very happy to have Bandit in our home. He is getting along very well with his sister Yurika (Boots) and they are becoming quite fond of each other. He is very lively and his name definitely fits him; as he grabs items from around the house and brings them under the table, it is one of his endearing qualities. Nick and I love his company, and we thank you for saving our beautiful boy! Sincerely, Bandit's Forever Family
