Thanks so much to everyone who came out for Pardi Paws last night! What a good time it was.

A huge shout out to our presenting sponsors: Freight, Silver Llama/SherryRandall, and KW Construction & Restoration! We could not have pulled the event off without their generous support.

We are also grateful to our media sponsor O’Rourke Media Group: The Herald Democrat/Stephanie Wagner and our other general sponsors: Aspen Leaf Realty, Elevation Law, and Rocky Mountain General Counsel who allowed us to focus on teeing up a great event without dipping into our operating budget.

To the Smelted Hearts, you folks rock (in a classic country way)! It was great to have live music and incredibly talented musicians keeping toes tapping. Thanks to Leadville Liquors for sponsoring the band for our event!

Another heartfelt shout out to the silent auction donors who allowed us to offer over 60 items for some friendly bidding contests! It is amazing how Leadville’s local businesses always show up to support our community’s nonprofits. You are all pawsome!

Last, but certainly not least, thanks to our board members and the Krewe Chewbarkus, all volunteers who enable Planned Pethood Leadville to put on fundraisers like Pardi Paws to serve our community members, two and four legged alike!

ARE YOU READY TO PARRR-DI??!!

Tonight's the night! We can't wait to bring you Pardi Paws.

Online ticket sales will be available until 2:00 this afternoon, but we will also have some tickets available at the door.

Come join us at Freight for great food by the Silver Llama and toe-tapping tunes by the Smelted Hearts!

Well, we were planning to cut off ticket sales tonight, but we've heard from a number of folks today that they have been a bit busy lately and didn't realize that tomorrow is February 1 and Pardi Paws.

Fortunately, our caterer Sherry Randall of The Silver Llama is very understanding and does not want to turn anyone away, so we are able to extend the online ticket sales until 2:00 PM tomorrow. If we don't sell out by then, we will also sell any remaining tickets at the door (but we don't recommend waiting until then if you want to make sure you snag a ticket).

You can scan the QR Code in the flyer below, or go to https://plannedpethoodleadville.org to buy tickets.

We can't wait to celebrate Pardi Paws with you tomorrow!

Only two sleeps until Pardi Paws! We don't know about you, but after this last week, we think everyone needs the stress release of a good party. We are looking forward to sharing great cajun-inspired food by the Silver Llama, live music from The Smelted Hearts that will get you swaying to their classic country/folk tunes, and some light-hearted competitive bidding in a silent auction with over 60 items!

What, you don't have tickets yet! Well, you are in luck as there are still some tickets available. It only takes a few clicks to buy your tickets using the QR code below. Come join us for a pawsome respite from the cold world!

Please remember that if it is too cold for you to be outside, it’s too cold for your pets to be out as well!

👋Time for our “What’s up Wednesday?” update!

Check out the photo of our vehicle wrap “proof” from ridgelinesignsco in BV! We are excited about this and hoping the wrapping will be completed by the end of the month. 🚐🐾🏔️

The progress at the mechanic is not as exciting. Apparently the generator that was ordered has still not arrived and this is delay in installation is one of the key issues with our timeline. We are staying in touch with the mechanic and crossing our fingers the installation will be completed soon 🤞🚐

Supplies and equipment are beginning to arrive and we are continuing to work on the practice management software and website. Once we “go live”, you will be able to create a personalized Pet Portal for your pets via a link from the website. This tool will provide you the ability to schedule appointments online, request and order prescriptions in the online pharmacy and view your pet’s medical history (once we’ve examined them), and correspond with us via text/email. More to come on this later!

Stay warm out there Leadville and stay tuned! ❄️

Happy New Year! Time to start planning for all the fun things you want to do in 2025. We recommend starting by putting PPL's annual Mardi Gras inspired celebration on your calendar for February 1 at Freight with food by the Silver Llama and live music with the Smelted Hearts! Tickets are now available and this event has sold out each year, so get yours before they are gone.

New Year's Day Closure Notice! 🎉

Please note, we will be closed on New Year's Day and will reopen Thursday, 1/2, ready to assist you and your pets.

As we ring in the New Year, keep these few tips in mind to keep your pets safe during the celebrations:

- Keep them indoors – Loud noises from fireworks and celebrations can be stressful for pets. Keep your pets inside to reduce anxiety and potential escape risks.
- Ask your vet about medication – If your pet is especially anxious around fireworks, talk to your vet about calming medications or natural remedies to help them relax.
- Create a calming space – Set up a cozy, quiet spot away from the noise where they can relax. Use blankets, toys, or calming music to help them feel secure.
- Avoid toxic foods – Resist the urge to share your holiday treats with your pets! Foods like chocolate, grapes, and alcohol can be harmful to them.
- Secure the trash – After your celebration, make sure your trash is secured to prevent your pets from getting into leftovers or dangerous items.
- ID and microchip – Ensure your pets have up-to-date tags, and consider microchipping them in case they get spooked and wander off.

Wishing you and your pets a safe, joyful start to the New Year!
