A campaign is underway to create Nocona Lucky Paws Animal Shelter and Adoption Center.

A group of dedicated animal lovers and veterinarians have come together to build a new, fresh humane animal shelter to serve the Nocona area. The shelter board members have partnered with the city to establish building and operational plans for a shelter.

No doubts the need for a facility to handle abandoned dogs in the community, and while the City of Nocona operates a basic covered outdoor kennel, it can become overwhelming.

Jeana Pethel, member of the board does not recall exactly when they all got together to begin working on the idea, but it sort of all came to fruition last summer.

The big take-away from Tuesday’s Bowie Business Boost was time: “It only takes six seconds to make an impression in life.”
Lorie Vincent, certified economic developer, professional trainer and writer, was speaker for program number three of Bowie Boost with a focus on “Memorable Marketing in a Post-Pandemic Era.”
She opened about how she had started her business, ‘Acceleration by Design,’ and things were “rocking,” when 2020 came and things changed with the worldwide pandemic. As things began to reopen it appeared there were more opportunities but also more challenges.
Vincent laughed as she showed a Richard Simmons “Sweating to the Oldies,” infomercial that became one of the most popular and still running ads.
“Can you believe back then we would call a 1-800 number and give someone our credit card? That is crazy. They used big music, big voices and big adjectives,” exclaimed Vincent.
