'Tis the Season!

Can you believe it is December 1 already?

Well, there is no denying it - the holiday season is upon us and winter is giving us a preview.

As you think about the holidays, please think about our animals who don't have a home to celebrate in.

There are many ways to help homeless pets this season of warmth and giving:

Adopt early - visit us at PetSmart this Saturday!

Don't wait for the hectic holiday to choose a new family member. Meet our wonderful pets before the pressure is on. Make the best choice for your family, and allow time for your new friend to settle in before the chaos descends. Our dogs are visiting Oxford Exchange PetSmart from 11-2 Saturday 12/4. Our kitties are always there!

Volunteer!

Do you have some extra time off during the holidays? Check with the shelter on how you can give a day of service this season.

Volunteer options



Give a gift basket!

Everybody likes something special for the holidays, including our animals. Things they enjoy include treats, durable chew and chase toys (doggies), things to bat around (kitties), things to snuggle up in, and last but not least - visitors to pat and play with them! Call ahead so our staff know to look for you!

Donate!

Winter is an expensive season. Heating bills are high, and we need hay for the dog houses. Won't you help keep our precious animals warm this season?

Spay/neuter your pets!

Yes, that's right - keeping your own animals from adding to Anniston's pet overpopulation is a great gift to our shelter! No matter how responsible you might be, accidents happen - and in this case an "accident" creates unwanted puppies and kittens. Your pet will also be healthier if fixed. 

Need help? You can get transportation and financial assistance from our friends at SAVE!

VOTE!

This one is so easy - run over to Quintard Mall (you know you're going anyway!) and vote for our Christmas Tree. The winner receives CASH for their organization.

Thank you for your support this season and throughout the year!!
