The Calhoun County Humane Society (DBA "The Animal Shelter") is the only open-admission shelter in the County that holds healthy, friendly animals well beyond the legal holding period in hopes of finding them new homes. We rely on donations and volunteers to supplement our meager contract income. We need you!
Jakeis one fun, loveable guy! He runs and plays and is a silly sweet goofball. But his most favorite thing is to hang out with people getting rubs and pets and sweet-talk. He is fine with other dogs, but people are really his thing.
Is Jake just the guy you've been looking for? Contact the shelter at (256)236-1581 or ashelter@bellsouth.net
Help Jake find home before his 1-year anniversary!
Hey there! Lucky here. Although right now, I guess you should call me 12.5% Lucky, 'cause that's how much I have toward my heartworm treatment - $25! As a husky, I'm pretty smart, so I know that if only 7 more people gave $25, I could get my treatment. And 7 is a LUCKY number, right? So I'm pretty hopeful. Of course, I'd take any amount, so long as it adds up to $200 by the end.
So here's the deal, for all you Superbowl fans. How about, if your team won, you celebrate by giving a little to Lucky? Or, if your team lost, you mourn by giving a little to Lucky?
Please don't forget my buddiesPumpkin and Zak- they deserve some Valentine's Day love too!

Are you crazy about tiger stripes? Little Bit is covered in them! This brindle cutie has the best disposition you could hope for. She is calm and sweet and makes friends with everyone she meets. With her accepting and attentive nature and small size (30lbs max) you could take her anywhere! She'd love to come hang out with you.
If you are interested in Little Bit, please contact the shelter at (256)236-1581 or ashelter@bellsouth.net She is also often at the Oxford PetSmart on the 1st Saturday (11-2!).
Can you help Little Bit find a home before her 1-year anniversary at the shelter?
Three of our wonderful dogs have tested positive for Heartworm Disease.
Heartworm Disease is caused by the mosquito-born heartworm. Entering the bloodsteam via a mosquito bite, these little monsters lodge in the lungs, arteries, and heart, where they grow and reproduce. Untreated, heartworm disease is lethal.
Prevention is available in monthly doses that can cost as little as $5/month. Sadly, many people do not give their dogs preventive - even here in the South, where mosquitoes are a common & constant threat.
The result? Dogs like Lucky, Pumpkin, and Zak. Beautiful, happy, adoptable dogs who are slowly dying from a preventable disease.
Treatment is expensive and uncomfortable, but unavoidable if we want to save these dogs and offer them for adoption. Won't you help us give them the treatment they need, so they can find the homes they deserve? Please contribute to their heartworm funds.
Yup, I know what you are thinking. How on earth does a young Husky named Lucky end up with a deadly disease? Don't ask me, ask the folks who decided not to put me on heartworm preventive. Oops, but you can't, 'cause they abandoned me at a shelter. The shelter wants to save me. Will you help them?
In case you were wondering - yes! Purebreeds can get heartworm disease, too. I'm Pumpkin, and I am a happy, playful, silly Basset who loves life and wants to keep living it. Will you help me?
Last but never least! I'm Zak, a good ole Southern hound who doesn't deserve a bad ole Southern disease like heartworms. Please help get these things outta me, so I can continue being a happy, smiling (and many say handsome!) dog looking to charm my way into a home that will love me enough to keep me safe.

Buster is blessed with a golden coat AND a golden heart. He always has a soft, sweet expression on his handsome face - and just imagine how soft that coat will be with regular brushing! He is quiet, polite, wonderful with his kennelmate, and such an all-around good boy that it is hard to understand why he's been waiting at the shelter for an entire year.
If you are interested in Buster, please call the shelter at 256-236-1581.
