It's RED HOT outside. Please read these tips to keep your pets cool!

August's Fabulous Feline
Here's a gorgeous little girl for you! EBONY is very alert and active, and actively seeks attention. Ebony loves to play in the water bowl. A real charmer and we call her our “Southern Belle.” She is a love nipper, and is still finding her place among the cats in her new condo.


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.

Featured Dogs

There are no anniversary dogs this month - it's true! - BUT we have a very special duo to introduce to you. SHADOW and MERLIN have been at the shelter for a very long time. Maybe their good manners just don't make them stand out? This pair is among the most laid-back, easy guys we have to offer! Please come give these guys a chance!



MERLIN definitely has one of those Japanese "Inu" breeds in his veins! He comes off at first as aloof like an "Inu," but that's just his calm style. He is just so well behaved ~ never jumping up, coming whenever called, and very tidy and clean. But don't think he is going to lie around all day - he and Shadow love a little rough-n-tumble play! They are adorable, and Merlin even proves he has a bark at play time!

SHADOW has been Merlin's buddy their entire stay. As a sight hound, he also seems a little detached at first. But he is quite the sensitive guy, and develops a strong bond with people he knows and loves. Though he likes to stretch his legs - and looks so elegant doing it! - he is also mannerly and calm by nature. He and Merlin are adorable when they play, like a pair of puppies!
