Officially Under Contract!

CCHS just took a HUGE step in our plans for the Adoption Facility! As of 9pm on 12/16/11, we are officially under contract to purchase two, 5 acre lots off Brown Street in Wylie! We have the next 60 days to get financing approved (currently working with Inwood National Bank in Wylie, TX to secure a $100k loan) and convince the Commissioners to rezone from pre approved light commercial to commercial. We feel we have a strong case and hope that they support our cause:) Visit our Shelter Updates page for details about our plans for the Adoption Facility!

CCHS Volunteer Appreciation Party

CCHS had our volunteer appreciation party last night at Landons Winery in McKinney! I wanted to thank our amazing team of dedicated volunteers for all of their hard work day in and day out to make CCHS the group it is today!!

I had asked one of our board members to pick up dog beds at Costco as presents for everyone. She asked me if I had ordered them to which I replied, “Nope just grab ‘em and go:” Below is the pic she sent me at check out (hahaha). Ashley will be featured on the next episode of Hoarders:)  –Molly Peterson (CCHS Pres)

Wishbone Holiday Campaign

Our Holiday Campaign is going great!  We are so happy with the out pouring of love and donations for our Wishbone families.  This is the story of how the Wishbone campaign was started.

We recently received an email about a little boy who’s only wish for Christmas was a gift for his best  friend; what a selfless request from such a young boy. You see, this boy did not make the request because he had everything he needs (what young boy does). The Christmas wish was requested from a young boy in a  very sad situation who in fact didn’t know where his next meal was coming from; But when given the chance to ask for anything, the little boy looked to Santa and said, “I really want a bone for my best friend…my  dog.”

Our hearts broke at the thought of not having the means to provide for our families and pets. The simple request of a bone for his dog symbolizes more than just a dog without a bone, it shines a light on the families whose fur kids really are a part of their families but are often over looked due to financial stress on the family. This story touched our hearts and we wanted to find a way to give a bone to more dogs/families in need this holiday season. We all put our heads together to come up with a campaign to help a family (or five) in need this holiday season, and so was born the “Wishbone Holiday Campaign.”
