Get One Treat for You, One for The Shelter

The good folks at Maggie Moo's in Oxford Exchange are now offering something cute to go with your something cool! For a donation of at least $1 to The Animal Shelter, you can add a cute face (your choice of dog or cat) to the Donation Wall.

Be sure to visit Maggie Moo's this summer when you need a treat, and treat the Shelter at the same time!

Pamper Your Paws for a Cause!

Go Green with The Animal Shelter!

The Animal Shelter is proud to announce a new, environmentally responsible community service initiative designed to help alleviate the fast growing environmental problem of e-waste in the workplace and homes.

But we need your help…

Simply dust off your old cell phone, digital camera, mp3 player or laptop computer and drop it off at Secondhand Tails Thrift Store and 100% of the proceeds from the recycling of these items will benefit The Animal Shelter!

Items do not have to be working to be recyclable!

For more information call Secondhand Tails at (256) 847-1125 or visit the store at
6500 McClelland Blvd. in Anniston.

Meet Thelma!

Thelma is a cutie, no arguments! She is a playful girl with a constantly-wagging tail who wants room to bound and chase and run - and of course someone to share the fun with!

Did you know that black dogs are the least likely to get adopted? Our Hearts of Gold program is designed to highlight how beautiful they truly are. Can you open your heart to one of these golden dogs?

Shelter+ Challenge Update

Thank you for your continued voting in the Shelter+ Challenge! You may worry that because we are still number 5, we aren't getting anywhere - but we are! We are rising daily in the overall ranks and are closing in fast on the #4 spot in Alabama. The closer we get to the top, the steeper the climb, but persistence pays off. Please keep voting!

July 4th Reminders!

Please join us for a few festivities this extended weekend!

On JULY 3, bring a voucher and go to Books-a-Million in Oxford to stock up on your summer reading. We will get a cash donation for each voucher! Valid from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.

On JULY 4 and JULY 5, stop by our booth near the theater at Quintard Mall! We have all sorts of goodies and giveaways, and you can sign up to volunteer or learn more about our adoptable animals.

A very important reminder for all pet owners ~ while we enjoy the excitement and understand the noises associated with Independence Day, our animals friends are confused and often terrified. Please be sure you keep them in a safe spot that is as quiet as possible. Even if you don't normally keep a collar on them, please be sure during this stressful time to keep ID on your pets in case they do panic and get loose. The safest type of ID is a microchip, which can't fall off or be removed. The Shelter offers microchipping for only $20.

Enjoy the holiday and stay SAFE!
