February 19, 2005 - Love-At-First-Walk This was the first semi-annual 4-H sponsored walk in Emmett!  Despite the snow and cold, I'd say we did pretty well.  About 50 people came out with their dogs to walk the 2 miles, make new friends and raise money for the shelter!  Look for the 2nd one sometime this September!  At right: Pongo having a drink after the long walk!

June 19th, 2004--Cherry Festival Float
Cherry Festival Float -- Snoopy joined us for the day as many volunteers and animals rode and walked in the annual Cherry Festival Parade. The 70's theme was a lot of fun and a family in the crowd even recognized one of the dogs as being their own lost pet! Are we good, or what?

Officer Renee Behrens has teamed up with "DOC" (stands for Department Of Corrections) formerly Zen, a yellow lab mix in PAL's foster care.

June 19th, 2002--PAL Float Rides Through Town
PAL Women face hot concrete and large dinosaur -- The hot weather and low budget couldn't stop the PAL women from gracing the Cherry Festival's annual parade. With one gigantic paper-mache dinosaur and five sweaty, yet poised ladies, we proudly showed the world that Pound Animal League can Spay or Neuter Anything! Great job everyone!!

October 13, 2001--PAL walks the See Spot Walk!
See Spot, See P.A.L -- The Pound Animal League joined over 1,000 other walkers in the Humane Society's Annual Dog walk in Fort Boise Park. Warm weather and an amazing turn-out left all the dogs and humans in good spirits.

The day was awesome for fund raising, and we had many inquires about our dogs. Many people didn't even realize we existed! It was a very good day to put on sneakers and walk a dog!

Mike, Chris, Bill, and Sonie show off the dogs and our booth at our first ever Spot Walk!

September 22, 2001--Four Dogs Adopted at D&B
One of the best shows -- This show was one of the best this summer with four dogs being adopted, two who were just taken from the pound that morning. The previous shows of the summer were not nearly as successful. We hope that the trend in adoptions continue.

September 9, 2001--PAL Website Goes Live!
http://www.emmett-pal.org goes live for the first time ever, marking a new technology age for the group. The kickoff was unceremoniously heralded at 12pm that Saturday morning by two members still in pajamas from working on it the night before. The Webmaster was seen during this time celebrating in his own way by patting the dog firmly on the head and "going to grab a beer." All in all, the day was a success.
