We
become very attached to our "Furry Friends" when they come to our
shelter, and want to make sure that they will be going to a home that's
truly right for them. We
can never really know what some of them have been through in their time
before coming to the shelter, so we want to make sure their years ahead
are happy ones. Please
read their biographies to make sure you are picking the perfect animal
for your family, so that you can both have years of happiness
and
enjoyment together.
DID
YOU KNOW....
Shelter animals are known to really love their "Forever Families" once
they are finally brought together. After being without a
family
for so long, they are extremely grateful to finally have found you!

Barn Cats
Got
mice in your barn?
Looking
to add more outdoor cats to your homestead?
Are you willing to help
out some cats that just don't like being inside?

Well then we have a deal for you!
We have several cats available for adoption
that just want to be outside.
They are perfectly content chasing mice or hanging out in a barn...
they have no desire to come into your home...
and we
respect that!
What we ask from their potential family is a commitment to give the cat
suitable outdoor shelter, food and water every day.
Please call the shelter or stop down for more information.

medically Needy Animals
The Humane
Society comes to the rescue of many different animals.
Sometimes our rescues and turn-over animals are physically and mentally
ready to be adopted, sometimes they need a little bit more
love
and care. Whether they need a family to nurse them back to
health, or work with them on their manners, there are some that just
need more "one-on-one" attention than we can give at the shelter.
Sometimes we have animals considered too "old" to be adopted, and
really just need a loving family to hold their paw until they cross the
"Rainbow Bridge".
Depending on the situation, we have reduced
fees and free veterinary care from our resident vet.
If you have room in your home and heart for an animal that really needs
your love, please call the shelter or stop down for more information.
Become a Foster
Parent
Interested
in getting
"hands-on" with our animals in the comfort of your home? We
have
many opportunities for you to become a Foster Parent and help many
different kinds of animals.
MEDICALLY NEEDY ANIMALS - SEE
ABOVE
KITTENS & PUPPIES - We are frequently getting
little baby
animals at the shelter that have been taken away from their mother
earlier than they should of. They are still weeks away from
being
available for adoption, and really need intensive love and care.
We need Foster Families in place to help care for these
animals
at home. They need bottle-feeding and "round-the-clock" care.
The animals that we have vary on a weekly basis, so please
call
the shelter or stop down to start the Foster Parent process so you can
make the difference to those special little animals.
IMPOLITE
& UNTRAINED ANIMALS
- Animals are always easier to adopt when they have basic manners and
are potty-trained. However, when they are at the shelter it's
not
so easy to learn when you only get out of your cage once or twice a
day.
DOGS:
If
you've ever had a dog that you've potty-trained, then you're probably
qualified to become a Foster Parent and take home a dog for a couple
weeks to give it that extra care and guidance that will make all the
difference in getting that dog adopted. We can give you
advice
and tips on training the dogs, all you need is the commitment to make
the difference.
CATS:
Cats
are peculiar creatures. They have personalities of their own,
and
if they're not treated with respect and love they can become weary of
all people. We have several cats that don't get adopted
simply
because they don't "take to people" the way other cats do.
Sitting in a cage at the shelter isn't helping to socialize
these
cats, so we are looking for Foster Families to take them home, uplift
their spirits, and give them a brighter outlook that will help them to
get adopted.

Pet Pals For Seniors
The
Humane Society
recognizes the challenge of raising a puppy or kitten particularly for
our senior friends. That doesn't mean that they should be without the
companionship a dog or cat can give. We have created a unique adoption
program for seniors (age 65+) living in our community to partner them
with our senior pets (7+ years). The standard adoption fee
will be cut in half. This includes licensing, a vet checkup,
and up-to-date shots. We pledge to the owners and their new pet that if
they ever find themselves unable to care for the pet and have run out
of options, we will gladly accept the pet back at The Humane
Society.
Please check Petfinder often for a
list of animals that are in this program.

SIX REASONS TO OWN AN OLDER
PET:
- Older
pets are housetrained.
- Older
pets won't chew your shoes
and scratch your furniture.
- Older
pets settle in easily,
because they've learned what it takes to get along with others.
- Older
pets are good at giving
love once they get into a new, loving home. They are grateful for the
2nd chance.
- What
You See Is What You Get:
older pets have grown into their shape and personality.
- Older
pets let you get a good
night's sleep! They don't need nighttime comforting or bathroom breaks.
