Welcome the American Revolutionaries!

On April 19, 1775, a shot was fired that was heard 'round the world. It was the beginning of the American Revolution. On this same date, in 2008, Col. Potter with the help of Deb and Jim fought for the freedom of 7 Cairns from oppression and won their right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." To honor those original freedom fighters, who played key roles in the Battles of Lexington and Concord; our new Col. Potter recruits are thus named:

LEXINGTON - 2 yr old female
BURKE - 2 yr old female
LAURIE - 2 yr old female
ADAIR - 5 yr old female
BOSTON - 3 month old male wheaten
BARRETT - 3 month old male red wheaten
REVERE - 7 yr old male

Deb and Jim not only spent a long grueling day winning these kids freedom, but also came up with this perfect theme and names for these kids. Thank you Deb and Jim!

There are many more Cairns that need our help right now, but unless we have more foster homes, we will have to turn them away. Besides these mill kids and others like them, we have owner surrenders and Cairns in danger at kill shelters. Saying no to a Cairn in danger is one of the hardest parts of doing Intakes and breaks our heart, but without foster homes, we can't help them. Please consider fostering, so we don't have to turn any away.
