Meet Otis!

It's Adopt-a-Dog Month: Please consider adopting Otis!

OTIS is a great Golden Retriever mix boy! He is a people-loving fella, laid back, walks well on leash, and just has family dog written all over him.

In his pictures it may look like Otis is two different dogs :) That's because in the top picture he is wearing his wooly winter coat. Below you'll see his sleek summer 'do. That means you'll have to really brush out Otis twice a year to help his change of coat. He's great about handling and won't give you any trouble about it.

Otis has been wanting to be a family dog for over 1 year. If your family is needing a dog, please consider Otis!

Sat Oct 23: Out with the Old, In with the New!

There are TWO opportunities to help the shelter this coming Saturday!

Out with the Old

Got sensitive documents and don't know how to get rid of them? Did you let the "shred it" pile get too big? How about at the office?

‎"Shred Your Papers for the Shelter" will be from 8 a.m. -1 p.m. at Action Industries, 1630 Coleman Road behind Lamar's Donuts. Check out Sunday's paper in News You Can Use. For a donation of a 10 pound bag of dog or cat food or kitty litter you can have up to 8 boxes of papers destroyed. What a great way to get rid of papers and help our animals in need. Lamar's donuts and coffee will be served!

THANK YOU to TV 24, Action Industries of Calhoun County, and Cheaha Animal Hospital for their support of The Animal Shelter and League of Animal Welfare!!

Meet Zippy!

It's Adopt-a-Dog Month: Please consider adopting Zippy!

ZIPPY has so much going for her! A chameleon, she adapts herself to the moment. Inside, she is a calm girl happy to snuggle and get belly rubs. Outside with other dogs, she is a party girl! Zippy loves to learn and takes very quickly to training. She would excel at things like Rally Obedience, trick training, or other fun stuff that allows her to use her very impressive brain. She is tidy, so if she isn't already housetrained she soon will be. She does well with kids.

Zippy has a few special Zippy characteristics. She can climb chain link, she can't be trusted with cats, and she doesn't like dogs with shaggy/long fur. Hey, we all have our preferences.

Meet Charlie!

It's Adopt-a-Dog Month - Please consider adopting Charlie!

CHARLIE has been waiting patiently for her Blog Dog of the Week spot. That's just the type of dog she is - easy, sweet, patient and loving. Although she has border collie good looks, she is bigger and calmer than a border collie. There may be some giant breed genes in there mellowing her out. Charlie has her active moments, but what she really lives for is to make you happy by having her at your side! She is very people-oriented and ready for a great life hanging out with family.  

Charlie has been waiting over 1 year to be someone's beloved family dog.
