More pets get lost at New Year's and Fourth of July than any other time. Please read these tips to keep your pets safe during fireworks!
July's Fabulous Feline
July's Fabulous Feline
Diana is a most special girl. She is friendly, self-assured, and clever. She loves to interact and entertain. Perhaps her best talent is for making the new cats in the condo welcome - she has turned many a skittish newcomer into a calm and friendly kitty.
Despite her many virtues, Diana has been waiting over a year for her own home.
Sound like the cat for you? Call (256)236-1581, email ashelter@bellsouth.net, or visit 1201 Parkwood Drive.
Not the right cat for you? Never fear, we have MANY more. Please visit the shelter or Oxford Exchange PetSmart to find the right cat for you.
Anniversary Dogs
Think Black Dog Syndrome - the phenonenon of black-coated dogs being passed over for adoption - only applies to large dogs? Think again. This month we highlight two of our small dogs who are facing their 1-year anniversary at the shelter. Small dogs rarely have trouble finding homes, yet these two still wait. The one thing they have in common? Their black coats.

DILLINGER was a rogue out on his own prior to coming to the shelter and taking over the small dog room. Dilly is quite the character, full of zest! He will throw himself into your lap, but squirm so badly that he falls back out of it! He is active, playful, quite humorous, and well overdue for a home.

Comparing NANCY to Dillinger...well, there is no comparison! They are a study in opposites. Nancy is such a loving Miss, and when held will just relax into your arms and settle in for the long haul. There is no other place she would rather be! Nancy can be enticed to play, or she is quite content to just hang out. She won't take guff from younger dogs, but is very proper about telling them to give her space. Her long wait for a home is a total mystery.

ROWDY is another Black Dog Syndrome victim, marking his 2-year anniversary this month. Despite his long time here, Rowdy is such a happy guy! He greets all with a smile, and he's gotten along great with his many kennel mates over time. Although he's got some energy, Rowdy also adores sitting on your foot and gazing at you with adoration. Who wouldn't love that??
Summer is a harsh time at shelters, with a spike in the number of strays and surrenders due to vacation season, fireworks, and abandoned puppies. Our list of anniversary dogs for July is long. Please give these wonderful dogs a look and...if one is a match for you...a home!

2 Ways 2 Help!!
Love puppies, but only in moderation? Have we got the program for you! We now have a Puppy Foster Program! We need folks who enjoy puppy love, puppy breath, puppy kisses (and who don't mind puppy piddles) to keep a couple pups for 2 weeks at a time until they go to the Atlanta Humane Society for adoption! The need is for 2 weeks every month. Can't help every month? That's okay - please still sign up! (Existing volunteers - please send Shelly an email.) You'll get word of when the next group is ready, and can take pups as you are able. This wonderful program will ensure more babies are adopted out and not growing up in a kennel.
