We design and distribute placemats to bring attention to pets available for adoption at local shelters in our area. We truly appreciate them all very much.

them very much. We are most impressed with the staff at the Montgomery County SPCA, The Regional Animal Shelter, The Gloversville Cat Sanctuary and Information Center and all other shelters in this area a well.The dedication and committment that they bring to their work every day is simply amazing and admirable. This business has given us the opportunity to meet wonderful people in Amsterdam and the surrounding areas! The restaurants who have agreed to use these placemats daily have given us the platform on which to bring these pets' wonderful faces to the table every single day. So many different restaurants using these mats simultaneously each and every day gives them a much a better chance of finding a forever home.

I am in love with what we do! 140 placemats after I sat on my couch and dreamed up an idea that had never been done before in this fashion. 140 times putting faces of adorable adoptable animals in front of over 50k people in each 7 week period. We are so very grateful to everyone who has continued to be on this journey with us. THANK YOU ALL!!
Watch for more wonderful faces in the We Call This HOME Magazine coming soon!

We got so busy with the Holiday that I forgot to post the last placemat. If you see your forever friend on here or you think someone you know may be interested in adopting, please let them know so they can go visit them! Also, be sure to mention you saw these advertisers on the mat, as they and the restaurants who use them make this possible for the pets that need homes. Grateful to all involved, always!

I haven't posted in a while on this page. I see it is getting views so I wanted to update everyone. We are now working on the next magazine - the entire idea to publish this magazine came from the fact that there is GOOD all around us. As you all know it started with how GOOD it is to adopt and have a pet to love (or two or six). That fact could not be more true. All the work and money to keep them safe and healthy comes back to you a zillion fold in the unconditional love they provide to you and your family. They are just so grateful to be yours. So we continue to do placemats every seven weeks and we continue to place the Crazy About Pets magazine inside of our We Call This HOME Magazine. There is never a shortage of fantastic stories, the issue will always be the time and energy it takes to get them on the pages. Make no mistake, we LOVE what we do. We have been graced with so many new friends thoughout this journey who share our same sentiments. As the magazine progresses, we will update you on the progress. Special thanks to Watphoto Professional Photography Services Bill Trojann Charles Bradley Brown and his Momma and everyone who has already committed to a story for this issue. Tons of work ahead but we know it will come out great and this is the right time to focus on the GOOD.
Stay Tuned!

Because of all that is going on I forgot to post the last placemat. AND...we are already working on the next one. I have my list of those waiting to get on, I promise, when and if anyone hops off you will be called - We are incredibly grateful for the support we have received for almost 13 years now! These pets need every chance they can get to get seen and possibly adopted into forever homes. Thank you advertisers and restaurants for the support!!
If you see a business you know or you frequent a restaurant who uses our mats please give them a shout out for continuing to sponsor this placemat. WE LOVE WHAT WE DO!!

If you were on the fence about running an ad in our We Call This HOME Magazine spin-off for the summer "Get Off Your APP & Go" issue #2, you may want to consider it next time! Four weeks after delivering 6,100+ magazines to area businesses, we find ourselves with 1.5 boxes of "50 copies" left and a few in the hands of others distributing them for us. THEY ARE GONE from many of the places we have put them in. People do appreciate PRINTED publications still! They do enjoy reading stories about their area and they do benefit from knowing that we have a fantastic amount of businesses in this area for them to shop at or get services from. Added bonus of course is the chance our local shelter/rescue pets get to be noticed and adopted.
Did I mention that we LOVE WHAT WE DO?❤

Many thanks to all involved in this publication, we appreciate every single one of you more than you know!!

Cannot wait to get started on the next We Call We Call This HOME Magazine

This one came out last month, we are late getting it up. Mike and I are so grateful for all of the support we have received with the placemat and magazines, as always! Please support the businesses on it and in the magazines. They are helping us get the word out about pets who need homes.
We ❤ what we do!

Last night on our way home, we were able to stop by The Pretty Paw Lounge and meet the owner, Rachel Anne. Here business, a phenomenal idea, helps others! What an amazing idea she had to start this business that allows cats/kittens from Kitten Angels to live a fun and safe life there while waiting to find their forever homes. Her little cafe is FULL of of local vendors, some animal related, but not all. She accepts vendors who put their items in there, it is stocked full! (But she has more room if intersted).
The building was meant to be a liquor store originally so there are tons of shelves on the back wall where all the items are for sale. Her counter has bakery items from a local baker (we got the most incredible blueberry muffins), and there is so much more to choose from as well.
Read her story in our newest Get Off Your APP & Go! magazine - issue #2 on page 46...
and then, please, go check it out! We need more of these - we need one in every city/town. LOVE THIS IDEA!! Thank you Rachel Anne for helping the kitties and allowing small businesses to grow by sharing your space with others.

Finally I can share what had to be the hardest magazine to get out that we have done so far. Yes, it is out later than we had planned, but for good reason. We were given the gift of spending time with my dad, Joseph Sinicropi, an amazing father, while he was at Mountain Valley Hospice. Cancer robbed him of what could have been many more years. In spite of the heartache, we finished it and it still came out wonderful. We will be forever grateful to everyone for their patience and understanding as we took a pause to spend many days with dad. Love and miss him immensely.
Let's look on the bright side for the later delivery. Other publications have been out for weeks now and this one will be FRESH...so it may be a great time to get it out. Last year's magazine only lasted 6 weeks and it will still be summer in 6 weeks! Enjoy it everyone! Read it here online first but definitely grab a copy when you see them. I will put up a list as we get them out.
TIP: read it full screen for best quality.

Heading for our 13th year in business...helping shelter pets find homes and now helping people realize how awesome it is to live in the area full of great people and businesses. In our 3rd year of business we took it up a notch and published our first Crazy About Pets Magazine. Creativity Unleashed was started with immense love for all dogs/cats and the realization that people are just better off when they have one (or two or five...) to love and care for. It has evolved in to a sort of celebration of where we live... We Call This HOME Magazine, always continuing to highlight the cats/dogs and incredible volunteers and staff who care for them while they wait. We truly love doing this, this is our retirement. We work full time because we have to for now, but someday, we can only imagine what we can morph this adventure into.
Grateful for all of your support over the years.
TODAY, we go and get our 14th published magazine...
Cannot wait for you to see it.
I will put it online as well, as soon as we unbox them.
Go check out our website, it has been revamped and updated by our good friend, the amazing talented Sky at Sky By Design. So thank for her help and creativity. If you want to contact her for your own website, IM me.

Our Story

This business was started with a passion for animals. We understand the wonderful connection that can exist between a human and their pets. Our mission is to bring awareness to the pets in need of adoption in our area and give them a better chance to be matched with their forever families. By advertising their businesses in this unique way, our clients are allowing us to do that and we appreciate them very much. We are most impressed with the staff at all of the shelters we feature on our mats and in our magazine. The dedication and commitment that they bring to their work every day is simply amazing and admirable. This business has given us the opportunity to meet wonderful people in Amsterdam and the surrounding areas and call them friends! The restaurants who have agreed to use these placemats daily have given us the platform on which to bring these pets' wonderful faces to the table every single day. So many different restaurants using these mats simultaneously each and every day gives them a much a better chance of finding a forever home. We truly appreciate them all very much.

In addition to our mats, we started publishing a magazine called Crazy About Pets in December of 2015. This magazine is published twice a year and was started to highlight as many shelters as we possibly can and give them the recognition they so deserve. We are hopeful too that our magazine serves to inspire people to adopt a shelter pet, to foster a pet, or to help out in any way they can. There is so much that can be gained from the relationship that forms with that very grateful shelter dog or cat.

We continue to strive every day to reach as many people as we can, to change the way they think about shelter pets and to connect them to some very impressive shelters and rescues who can match them up with the perfect forever friend for their family.
