| A kind hearted woman named Michelle bought rabbits at the Woodburn auction rather than see them go to slaughter. OTP has adopted thirteen of these lucky bunnies who are now happily hopping across the grass in the new enclosure. Come meet them at the Open House this Saturday. |

| Percy is a female cat that we rescued about 10 weeks ago. She was pregnant at the time, and she had five babies. The other four kittens have been adopted. Unfortunately, the adoptions on Percy and the last kitten, Popty have fallen through. |

| Sherri Tallman from Hidden Oaks Llama Ranch came out to shear, vaccinate, deworm and do nail trims on the two llamas. Limo and Coco are much happier now with their short summer hairdos. Sherri does llama rescue and was the one who took Limo and Coco from their last home (where sadly they had been left tied to trees for years). |
