Last Minute Gifts from the Heart

(our tree at Quintard Mall)

There's only one week left until Christmas! If you are still looking for just the right gift, don't forget to visit Secondhand Tails Thrift Store @ 6500 McClellan Blvd (M-Sat 10-3). You can find a beautiful gift at a great price, while benefitting the shelter!

You can also give a gift directly to The Animal Shelter in honor of your friend or loved one. If you give through our Warmth for Winter campaign, you can leave a message to the honoree on the wall! Another great way to let your loved one know you've sent love & care to shelter animals on their behalf is to send an eCard (Care2 has some wonderful free holiday eCards).


We have two giving portals for this campaign:
Razoo (fee free!)
ChipIn (uses Paypal)

Dogs and cats love holiday gifts, too! If you can find it in your heart to give a gift to the shelter this season, please contact ashelter@bellsouth.net or (256) 236-1581 or go to our Petfinder page to see the many giving suggestions under How to Help!

Are you thinking of adopting for the holiday? Remember, bringing a new pet into the home requires time and attention, and plenty of puppy- or kitty-proofing. Some fun ideas for providing the excitement of adopting on the holiday, while giving yourself time to find the right lifetime match for your entire family include giving a stuffed animal "stand-in," wrapping pet supplies with the promise of getting the new pet after the holiday excitement settles, or creating a beautiful gift certificate for redemption after the holiday.

Thank you for thinking of homeless animals this holiday season!
