| DONATIONS SAVING LIVES! CAN YOU HELP? PLEASE! |
| PIP IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF WHAT "AWSBC" STANDS FOR. WE DO EVERYTHING HUMANLY POSSIBLE TO RESCUE, PROVIDE QUALITY CARE REHABILITATE, AND FIND LOVING AND CARING FOSTER FAMILIES WE DO THIS THROUGH THE LOVING PEOPLE WHO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME, MONEY, AND HOMES ON BEHALF OF THESE BABIES. WE RELY ON THE REDUCTION OF SERVICE FEES PROVIDED BY LOCAL VETERINARIANS (LEON VALLEY VETERINARY HOSPITAL), DONATION OF FACILITIES (PETSMART), AND THE DONATIONS FROM CARING PEOPLE LIKE YOU! |
| THE ANIMAL WELFARE SOCIETY OF BANDERA COUNTY (AWSBC) HAS ACQUIRED FIVE (5) ACRES OF LAND TO BUILD A PROPER SHELTER. HOWEVER, BUILDING AN ADEQUATE SHELTER TAKES TIME AND LOTS OF MONEY. WE COULD DO SO MUCH MORE FOR THESE ANIMALS, PARTICULARLY THE ONES THAT WE HAVE TO TURN AWAY. WE JUST DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FOSTER PARENTS, THE ROOM, OR THE MONEY TO CONTINUALLY TAKE IN THE PETS THAT PEOPLE DROP OFF IN PARKING LOTS, IN BOXES ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, OR THE LONELY-HUNGRY STRAYS THAT PEOPLE SHOO AWAY. |
| IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BECOME A SPONSOR (CORPORATE, PRIVATE, OR INDIVIDUAL), PLEASE CONTACT SANDY BOWMAN PRESIDENT OF AWSBC. OR CALL HER AT: (830) 751-2595 THANK YOU |

| HELLO THERE! MY NAME IS "PIP"; I WAS ABOUT THREE, MAYBE FOUR MONTHS OLD WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME. YOU SEE, I WAS BEATEN UP PRETTY BAD BY TWO YOUNG BOYS. THEY TOOK A BOARD AND BEAT ME UP, BREAKING MY PELVIC AREA AND MY TAIL IN SEVERAL PLACES. A NAIL IN THE BOARD PUNCTURED MY RIGHT EYE. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE AT AWSBC, DR. MEIER AND DR. THOMPSON AT LEON VALLEY VETERINARY HOSPITAL, AND MY LOVING FOSTER PARENTS, I WOULDN'T BE HERE TODAY! NOW I HAVE A STEEL PLATE IN MY PELVIC AREA, AND MY TAIL WAS DYING AND HAD TO BE AMPUTATED AT THE BASE. YES! I', BLIND IN MY RIGHT EYE. |
