Ben’s Corner
The Four F Foundation has
been in Lindale for many
years, however, not many
people knew the animal sanctuary was in their area.
This year the board of directors wanted to get our name
out into the community.
To do that there had to be
change. So change we did!
We added 3 new people to
the board of directors, we
updated out logo on our
Stationary and built a get
acquainted room for our
dogs and cats. With the
help of Helen Mar the cat
area got a new facelift and a
play area. More dog runs
were built to help our 80+
dogs have more room.
A membership program was
started. See page 3 for details. We have had 2 successful fundraisers and we
are publishing our
first
newsletter.
Our biggest hope is to partner with local businesses to
help save the dogs and cats
that get thrown away in the
country.
Please see our
Wish List for how to help.
We are going out into the
community to talk about the
shelter. So if you need speakers, please call on us. We
only ask for items on our
Wish List. We appreciate
your donations.
