It wouldn't be spring in America without little league baseball

Personally, I love a good game of catch! But my mommy calls it chase because she throws the ball, I fetch it and make her chase me to get it back. Isn't that how all proper games of catch are played? Silly mommy!

Well, the little leaguers are already playing catch and baseball at Oaks Dads' Club located at East T. C. Jester Blvd and West 34th Street. When you go by to watch some super cute T-ball, look for our sign in the outfield.

We are a proud supporter of Oaks Dad's Club and all the little leaguers that play there. They are HUGE animal lovers as well.

Start Collecting Your Books for Scout's Honor Book Drive in 2 Weeks

Start clearing those bookshelves, cleaning your closets and emptying the boxes in the garage because the Scout's Honor Book Drive is just 1 week away!

There is no limit on the amount of books we can accept. If the load is too big to bring to the adoption event, we can always come and pick them up at a time that is convenient for you.

Books, DVDs, CDs and VHS tapes will be collected on April 2. WookieBooks will then sort the books and media items to sell and items that are unable to sell but are in good condition will be donated to local charities. Even books that are in unacceptable condition will be recycled. NO book ever hits the landfill.

So start clearing out now to raise funds for Scout's Honor!

Welcome Scout's Honor Rescue!


WookieBooks is proud to announce Scout's Honor Rescue as our new charity partner!!!

This partnership will help raise funds for Scout's Honor to continue rescuing and fostering animals in need.

Scout's Honor was formed in May 2006 by six volunteers who decided to pool their experience and love for animals to make a difference in Houston. Scout's Honor is often the last resort for animals who are left abandoned to die in pounds or on the streets. Scout's Honor will rescue any and all animals in need: sick, abused, malnourished and unwanted. No breed is denied.

For more information about Scout's Honor Rescue or to contribute to their cause, visit www.scoutshonor.org.
