Check Your Alley - - Avoid a CitationIt has been reported that several alleys in our neighborhood have an excess of tree and shrub growth hanging into the alley to the extent that it scrapes against passing cars. Overgrown shrubs also cause blind spots at corners and curves in the alley, or at a driveway. City Code requires the occupant or owner of the property to be responsible for keeping the alley clear of obstruction. This includes trimming of trees, shrubbery and vines. We encourage our neighbors to abide by this Code to avoid a citation. For more info, see www.dallascityhall.com. Code Compliance: Common Code Violations, Ob¬structions (Section 18:14). Please check the alley behind your home to see if it needs trimming or mowing. Many of our neighbors use the alleys for access to their homes. Help the City of Dallas Animal ShelterA big "thank you" to all neighbors that helped make my donated Christmas tree really sparkle at the new City of Dallas Animal Shelter. Kudos to Lynne Jennings, Ann Connelly, Steve Evans, Mike Monday, April McElhone and her class of 4 yr olds, and Tod Franklin. Also, much appreciation to all those that donated towels for Shelter use. This new facility at 1818 N. Westmoreland is quite wonderful and through the help of area neighbors, it's even more so. Yes, I know that there's been some negative publicity, but I also know that corrections have been and will continue to be made. The Shelter does need donations of (used, but clean) towels - all sizes over hand size, and blankets (you can drop those items over at my front door - 9029 Vinewood) AND volunteers. Call Marcialyn Banks at 214-671-0314 to volunteer. They need folks to help at the Shelter and also those that work with off site adoptions, i.e., Petco, etc. There are wonderful "dog/cat/puppy/kitty babes" out there – all sizes, all breeds, all "mixes," etc., but all deserving of a good home and all would make a wonderful addition to your family. Thank you, Judy Hall, District 9 Animal Shelter Commission member Resources for our Precious PetsOf the dogs taken in by Dallas Animal Shelter, 1818 N. Westmoreland, at least 1/3 are purebreds.

East Lake Pet Orphanage near us has animals for adoption, www.welovepets.net. phone 214-342-3100. When we consider that 5-9 million cats and dogs are euthanized each year, costing $2 billion to tax payers, we must be responsible pet owners. Lost Pets: If you are a member of CLFNA, use our e-mail group to locate or report a lost pet in our area. Setting a Good Example for My Owner. If your pet does not do this on their own ... you should. Please Patronize This Shop Dedicated to Community Service Second Chance Treasures, 9034 Garland Road across the street from Hong Kong Restaurant and next to the Bike Mart. All profits are donated to animal care. Second Chance Treasures is an upscale resale shop opened to the public. Our promise is to help the animals at East Lake Pet Orphanage. East Lake is a no-kill facility and is committed to rehabilitating animals in their care. If an animal is treatable when it comes to East Lake we work hard to ensure that it can become adoptable as well. It is expensive to operate our pet orphanage and we depend on donors and our special fundraising events such as garage sales, Tour of Homes, Wine on the Roof Pet Fairs and now we have added an upscale resale shop located at 9034 Garland Road As far as we know we are unique in having a shop where all the profits go for the care and rehabilitation of pets so that they are adoptable and will find good caring homes. Thank you, Judith C. Wester Acting Manager Second Chance Treasures RECYCLE DATES FOR 2008
