Boulder County Loves our Pets - It's that time of the year again!
The Humane Society of Boulder Valley's annual "Puttin on The Leash" event is scheduled for Saturday, April 28th at the Coors Event Center at Boulder's CU Campus.
This year's event will follow the theme "Bark to the Future."
Special guest hosts will include
Both Silent and Live auctions will be held to keep the enthusiasm and excitement flowing throughout the evening. General admission is $60 per person.
This is a chance for supporters and animal lovers alike to come and participate in this much anticipated annual event. Amazing food and entertainment and surely a night not to be missed.
Costumes are not only permitted; they are highly encouraged and have become a much-anticipated feature of this annual affair.
This great event is proof every year that Boulder County Loves our Pets - It's that time of the year again when sponsors and attendees alike come from all over Boulder County to help raise funds to support the great efforts by the Humane Society of Boulder Valley.
The Humane Society of Boulder Valley has one of the highest adoption rates in the country. In fact, pets are brought in from all over the country; especially from areas hard hit by disaster and downturns in the economy. For example, just last week, 70 dogs (65 puppies and 5 adult dogs) were brought in from Tulsa Oklahoma and received by the many volunteers and talented staff members at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley.
Hope to see you at this amazing event!
New puppies have arrived ~ Humane Society of Boulder Valley
Puppies arrived from Tulsa, Oklahoma today thanks to the Petsmart Charties Rescu Wagin. 65.... yes 65 puppies and 5 adult dogs arrived in Boulder at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley today around 4:30. Some were wiggly, some where shy, some more social than other. One thing is for sure... they are all incredibly adorable and ready for their furever homes.
Boulder County loves our pets. The Humane Society of Boulder Valley has one of the highest adoption rates anywhere in the country. They take great care of all the pets arriving in Boulder and strive to find homes for every one of them. It takes quite of team of volunteers and professionals to ensure these little guys and gals are fed, given water, plenty of exercise and, of course all their medical needs addressed.
It's hard to imagine the hands needed to receive so many new arrivals all at once when you consider what it must take to tag them, feed them, bath them, and get them settled in their kennel for the night.
Here are pictures of some of the new arrivals. I don't know about you, but I think the hardest decision will be deciding which one of these darlings to take home.
Still many times, animals make the choice for us. They decide whether or not they like us and make the first move to greet us.
Steel Ranch, Louisville's Newest Housing Community
If you have had your eye on a new home in Steel Ranch, which is Louisville's newest and most popular housing community, there is still time. Ryland will be releasing more lots soon.
Although Ryland has a priority reservation list for their homes at Steel Ranch, there are still lots available that have been released for sale to the general public. No doubt, Ryland is setting new sales records in Steel Ranch, as residents have been waiting for this newest housing community with unprecedented and pent up demand. On my recent visit to the Ryland sales center this weekend, I discovered that Ryland's construction crews are striving to stay on schedule with over 40 homes currently under construction!
Ryland's popular new "Perspectives" series in Steel Ranch, has been overwhelmingly well-received not only in Louisville as the city's newest housing community, but it has received accolades throughout Boulder County.
Steel Ranch is also home to Boulder Creek Builders' popular patio homes offering a lock-and-leave style lifestyle, popular to baby boomers downsizing their homes as well as young professionals with busy lifestyles. The patio homes built by Boulder Creek Builders have unique features built into their homes specificly requesed by their revered focus groups. I'm tempted to tell you about all of their unique features, and yet.... I don't want to spoil your joy of discovery.... Well, alright, here is a couple little previews.... 1) office/studio space incorporated over the garage, 2) installed garage door openers as a standard feature, 3) large, over-sized windows and window wells to allow maximum natural light into the basements, and.... to many other features to mention here in this post.
Steel ranch, has multiple parks and will eventually have a variety of shops and retail spaces in this newest housing community of Louisville. Just a short bike ride away from Louisville's popular downtown, Steel Ranch is also within a quick commute to Boulder and Denver and only 35-40 minutes away from Denver's International Airport.

People who have never worked with Vickie Slade will soon find that she has boundless energy, infectious enthusiasm, infinite drive and rigorous determination. Vickie knows that listening to your needs and focusing on what is important to your family is critical to providing the highest level of service, and she'll deliver it with a sincere interest in helping you attain your dreams. She's honest, hard working and never ever compromises her integrity. But then, who better to tell you about Vickie than some of her clients.........
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Over many years I've worked with several different realtors to purchase and sell properties. As in any profession, whether it's a lawyer, agent or sales-rep, I've found that only about one-in-ten are worth a lick. I must say that Vickie is the best I've ever dealt with and I consider her to be that
1. She actually worked and earned her commission, which is rare. Allow me to give several examples, which will best explain. 1. I once drove by a property she had listed for me and she was actually watering the law and pulling weeks in the flower beds. And I thought, "What's with this Girl? Is this normal?"
2. It was at that same time and property that I met her to go over needed repairs to incourage sales. Remarkably, when I entered the place, she had it staged with a dining room table, place settings, flowers, pictures on the walls, towels in bathrooms and an assortment of other objects placed in just the right location. I was shocked----it was a very pleased shock. And again, I had another thought. "Damn, this girl can't be for real!!!"
3. Knowing that my wife was ill, she then took it upon herself to mow the lawn on occasion and make sure the floors were swept.
4. Then when an offer came in, I experienced her negotiating skills and thoroughness before the property sold. Vickie was flawless and as professional as one could get.
5. I then had her list a second property and it was more of the same. Well, except with this house, a tenant had left several truck loads of trash and Goodwill belongings that needed to be hauled away. And who helped for several hours? You guessed it, Vickie. The woman is remarkable!!
6. And yes, the second property sold just as easily. I could continue with more, but it's best put this way: there's is no way I could possibly give Vickie a higher recommendation. When they made her, they broke the mold, and more agents should follow her lead---and try to imulate her refreshing approach, which starts with a personable smile and kindness that even the buyers appreciated.
Thanks, Vickie. You're the best!!

Dear Vickie,
Steve and I just wanted to say "Thank You" for the wonderful job you did for us!
It's usually very difficult and stressful to purchase a home when you are working from out of state. Your knowledge of the area, willingness and flexibility to accommodate us at every turn, took all the stress out of this process and made it very enjoyable. We appreciate the fact that you were always giving us updates - we NEVER had to ask for information! You are even accommodating us AFTER the sale by meeting our nephew to give him the keys to our home since we aren't there yet and offering us the names of local realtors here in Texas to use on the sale of this home. Thank you for going above and beyond your real estate duties for us and providing us with exceptional customer service.
We really cannot thank you enough and feel as though we have not only been very fortunate in finding you to work for us, but that we have made a friend along the way! Best wishes in every endeavor!
Sincerely,
Steve and Rose Cook Houston, TX

As first time homebuyers, we needed an agent who we could trust and depend on. Vickie was great to work with; she was thorough and knowledgeable through the whole home buying process.
We found a perfect first home and with Vickie's guidance and use of comparable sales figures, we bought our home for the price we were comfortable with. Vickie was also able to recommend a lender, home inspector, carpet cleaner, and carpet installer; all of whom we had good experiences with.
We couldn't have had a more positive experience with purchasing our first home, and plan to contact her when we are ready to sell in the future.

When we got the notice from the bank letting us know that we were going to lose our house, we didn't know what to do or where to turn. We had contacted Vickie regarding possibly selling our house before and she had come over and done a free walk-through, making recommendations on what we could improve to sell our home.
We called Vickie and she came over and walked us through every step of the short-sale process from beginning to the final closing. She was very reassuring and helpful. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to either purchase or sell a home.
