Volunteer Stephanie Perciful’s husband Tim has a cool opportunity for you. Tim is a certified instructor through the American Safety & Health Institute (endorsed by the ASPCA) to teach Pet First Aid. He’s been teaching this class for a couple of years and has a ton of experience in the field.
He and Stephanie are offering a pet first aid class on May 25th with all of the proceeds going to the sanctuary’s 2nd Anniversary Fundraising.
This invaluable class teaches, through demonstrations and hands-on training:
- How to restrain a sick or injured animal.
- How to check a pulse on a dog or cat.
- Pet CPR
- Bandaging & Splinting
- Various common pet illnesses or conditions.
- What to do in poison emergencies.
- What to put in a pet first aid kit & pet disaster kit.
- Disaster preparedness for your pet.
- And more
The class is intended for anyone who is interested in learning how to care for their pet during an emergency.
Date: Sunday, May 23, 2010 (corrected date)
Time: 9am – 3pm
Location: King County Fire District #44 near Auburn & Black Diamond

Because this class is hands-on, space is very limited, so email tim@learnpetfirstaid.com today to reserve your place. And be sure to share with others who may be interested. Download the flyer by clicking here: pfaChimpFlyer-1. And spread far and wide by inviting your friends on Facebook.
Wow!!! Way to go Tim and Stephanie, very generous. I don’t know about the other out-of-staters, but I wished I lived in Washington, too many fun things to do that involve raising money for the CE7.
What a wonderful fundraising idea! If I lived closer I would be there. Education and fundraising. What could be better? Thanks Tim and Stephanie!
I sent an email today to sign up… I love this idea!
I also sent it on to friends in the area that I thought would be interested.
Looking forward to it, Tm and Stephanie!
