| Help the Seguin Police Dogs get a new friend! - Please Read! The Seguin Police Department was recently forced to retire K-9 Officer Ferda due to health problems. In order to replace him, the Seguin Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association* is trying to raise $10,000. This is where you come in! The SCPAAA is accepting donations of all sizes to get our community this very special hard-working dog. Every time you donate, Thunderpaws will let you put up a ‘I Donated’ card ANYWHERE you want in our shop. You can do a good deed & let the world know about it. C’mon, You know you wanna… *Fund Managed by Seguin Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association. SCPAAA is a 501(c)3 Charitable organization UPDATE: Welcome Baron! Seguin was recently fortunate enough to be able to acquire a slightly used K9 officer from New Braunfels! We are still happy to accept donations to help to provide for all of Seguin's K-9 officers and to be able to help the SPD to get the next K9 officer. |

| Your S.H.S. Yearbook can help a person & some dogs... - Please Read! On Friday, May 22, 2009, the home of Larry Nelson & his father, Lester, was badly damaged by fire. Larry, Seguin High School class of 1979, was a collector of S.H.S. yearbooks. To help replace his cherished yearbook collection, Larry's friends have generously offered a bounty on S.H.S. yearbooks - for each new year brought to Thunderpaws, they will donate $10 to Paws in Prison! This is a huge opportunity to do something for a good man & for some needy dogs! To donate, please call us at (830) 379-7000 To see the full Gazette-Enterprise story, go to: Friday fire damages home, destroys memories UPDATE: Many of you generously donated your memories, and we are very grateful. We are STILL accepting yearbooks for Larry, as many years have yet to be accounted for. If you are willing to help, please call us! It will make you feel good! |
