May Newsletter

May's Fabulous Feline

Here's what the cat volunteers say about ANGIE:

This cat is easy to hold. She has a laid back personality and she gets along with the other cats. She’s like a little diva.

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

These wonderful girls are facing their 1-year anniversary in the shelter. The best anniversary present for them would be a HOME!


ADDIE - beautiful, fun, well-mannered, and great with other dogs. Addie has it all - except a home! She has a shiny coat and an equally shiny personality. Please come get to know Addie.






HONEYBUN is putting on her best pleading look, pleading for a home at last. Honeybun was left on her own to have puppies at a very young age. She is so ready for her homeless days to end and a pampered life to begin! She has a terrier's attitude toward like-sized dogs but has done well with big dogs. Can you give her a life on easy streeet?

SASHA says a Feist ought to be FUN! Sasha loves to chase the toys and race with the toys and have a great time with the toys. Got the message? Sasha likes toys! Sasha also like hugs :) She is on the small side, too, so no trouble at all.
