Camper of the Month
We would like to introduce Vashti, our first Doggie Day Camper of the month! Vashti is a rescued Greyhound who is 4 years old. We refer to her as the queen of our camp because she loves to quietly supervise all of the other campers. Vashti loves both large and small dogs, and loves to run like crazy but also relax and get lots of petting during the day. She is such a sweet girl; she always cheers everyone up with her presence!

Meet our Staff!
We'd like you to meet Melissa, who has been with us since 2006. We refer to her as our "dog whisperer" because of her quiet confidence. Melissa's best skill is breaking through to timid dogs who have trust issues. However, the friendly and happy ones love her just as much!
Melissa not only does playtimes and cuddle times; she is a Doggie Day Camp Counselor now as well.
We are all glad to have her as part of our team here in Chadds Ford!

Kitty Survives Being Wrapped up in Duct Tape
This is an unbelievable story that I found on http://www.peoplepets.com/ written by Karen J. Quan. A big thanks to the caring people at the Philadelphia SPCA for taking care of this little kitty!
"A fierce little feline is an unquestionable survivor, after falling victim to what can only be described as a petty, heartless prank. A young female cat was found helplessly abandoned, wrapped from neck to paws in duct tape in North Philadelphia on Tuesday, and was brought to the Pennsylvania SPCA for treatment.
Upon examination, the PSPCA staff, who dubbed the feline "Sticky," realized that the poor pet would need very special attention to remove her from this cruel and very sticky situation.
After removing the outer shell of duct tape, the staff was shocked to find that not only had the abuser wrapped Sticky's body numerous times, they also started to wrap her two front legs and back legs together.
"It wasn't just one wrap around," Angela Messer, PSPCA's Forensic Case Manager and Supervisor of Shelter Nursing tells PEOPLE Pets. "Someone methodically wrapped this around and around and around."
And based on the amount of tape recovered, Messer estimates an entire roll of duct tape was used in this crime. The domestic short-haired cat was sedated as Messer and her team removed the tape as carefully as possible so that they could preserve and use it as evidence.
Thankfully, despite the pressure and restraints that kept Sticky captive, and being slightly underweight, no other permanent damage was done. Estimating she had been bound for just a few days, Sticky immediately returned to her calm, caring and peaceful personality once she was mobile again.
"She was up and she was about," Messer says, "Being very affectionate." And despite the cruelty done unto her, Sticky remains a very people-friendly feline.
With the trauma behind her, Sticky, estimated to be between nine-months and one-year-old, can now look forward to better days. While the rescue organization continues to search for Sticky's owner, the high-profiled pet is already receiving numerous offers for a new home. But until the investigation for her attacker is officially closed, she remains in the comfort of her saviors at the PSPCA, who promise to keep her "as comfortable as possible," Messer says.
The $1,000 reward that was originally offered for information leading to the conviction of those involved has now jumped up to $2,000 in just two days. To contribute, you can visit www.pspca.com and make a donation.
And while Sticky's story is inhumane and unacceptable, her story is just one of many animal cruelty cases that occur every day in this country. "We have so many other cats that come in from such horrible situations," Messer tells us. "They all need homes too." "

Stay and Play is all day fun!
Summer may be over, but we are still having fun with all of our 4-legged friends here in Chadds Ford. Many of our regular boarders who have previously enjoyed playgroup are now even having more thrills with Stay and Play, which is our newest addition. With Stay and Play, our canine companions get to play in Doggie Day Camp all day long (supervised, of course) and then board in our spacious suites at night. The dogs sure do sleep well at night after all of that romping around!
