Finding Fido tales wanted
Stylists at a local salon are looking for the best story about how your dog became part of the family. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Salon will choose the pet/owner pair with the most heartfelt or humorous story to be announced at a fundraiser on July 20. The deadline for stories is July 16.Michele Baker of All About Pets will provide a complimentary grooming service to the lucky pet, and his owner will receive a complimentary haircut, color and style and makeup application from Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Salon.
The fundraiser, Bucks for Barks, will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 20 at Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Salon in Fishers. The salon will have games, food and fun for the whole family, including pets. Cost is a per-person donation of $10 or one item from the Humane Society Wish List. All proceeds will be given to the Survivor Program at the Humane Society for Hamilton County.
The Wish List can be viewed on the Web site at www.hamiltonhumane.com. Items on the list that the Humane Society is in urgent need of include:
» New carpet samples with bound edges (to line cat cages).
» New collars and leashes, specifically small- and medium-size collars and 6-foot flat nylon leashes.
» Folding crates (new or very gently used folding style only), specifically 36- and 42-inch sizes.
» Poop scoopers, specifically two-piece scoops with spades.

» Kitten replacement milk (KMR)
» Small, medium and large Kongs to fill with treats.

The Survivor Program was established to give shelter animals with life-threatening illnesses or injuries the life-saving medical care they might need.
Each time an animal needs medical attention, the question is whether or not the shelter has enough funding. It is the Survivor Program funding that allows the Humane Society to approve the medical treatment needed to save an animal's life when there is no time for questions.
The Humane Society Web site states that the average cost of emergency medical care and treatment is:
» $250-$350 to treat a heartworm-positive dog.
» $250-$350 to save one puppy with parvovirus.
» $200-$300 to provide in-patient, supportive care to a cat or dog.
» $300-$500 to stabilize and treat an animal hit by a car.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a company that believes not only in style, but also in lifestyle. The salon hopes to expand and enrich its services, enhance the lives of people in the community and extend public awareness.
