Bobbi and the Strays

The new Bobbi and the Strays website was launched on the evening of Tuesday, February 17th, 2009. We here at Bobbi and the Strays consider this date in time a historic moment. 

The Adopt a Pet page of the website is an especially big hit with the public since it showcases most of the beautiful dogs and cats that we have for adoption. Our website is a big success and we want to thank you and all of our supporters for helping to make it such a success. Thank You!!!

We also need to thank the folks behind the website for all of their time, generosity, and true kindness. First – the website was donated to Bobbi and the Strays! Hooray for us! This donor wishes to remain anonymous – but we still need to let you know of the hard work and resources he put into this – and continues to put into this – on our behalf.

While this very special person did most of the work – programming, administration, hosting, etc. – it was definitely a group effort to get the project off the ground and finished.  A group of volunteers worked for many, many, months with creating and organizing content and then laying it all out. A graphic designer by the name of Becky Munich volunteered to design the template and graphics for our site – making it look as lovely as it does. We want to thank all of these people for making this website possible – THANK YOU!!!

Also, staff members and volunteers are continually working on updating our animal profiles, events, news, as well as a few other corners of the website. They contribute to the success of this website on a daily basis. Thank You!!! 

Two weeks after the successful launch of our website we wanted to have a little fun. So on Thursday, March 5th, we had our Weblaunch Martini Mixer in the Martini Lounge at Simply Fondue. It was a great event and about 80 people attended.

For a small admission guests were treated to appetizers and unlimited discounted martinis (of which, by the way, Simply Fondue offers over 75 types of) as well as some great music and mingling.  We were also lucky enough to have donated to us some wonderful raffle prizes.

In the background, on two large flat screen televisions, we also had two videos playing. One was a walk-through of our website. The other was created by our Shelter Manager, Laura, which showcased our larger dogs that were available for adoption. It was a great night!

Thank you to all who attended. Thank you to those that visit and use our website. Thank you for your generous donations. Thank you to the wonderful volunteers and donors who made – and continue to make – this website possible. THANK YOU!!!

P.S. – If you attended this event – or even if you didn’t but wish you had (not to worry) - we are having a “Martninis for Mutts” FUNdrasier on July 30 at the same place!  Please follow this link for the details.  We hope to see you there. : – )
