The shelter is always full. There are dozens of cats and dogs that are in desperate need of a permanent home everyday. Come and visit our animals - we are easy to find and our animals love the attention!
|
We use Patented Kuranda Dog Beds because they are durable, chew proof and easy to clean. If you would like to donate a bed to us, click here. |
~ If you would like to help our shelter please consider donating a bed. Our dogs only have the cold hard concrete floor to lay on. They would love a nice bed to lay on while they wait for their Forever Home! Thanks! ~

*********************************************************************************************************************
There are several other specifications that are on the contract. Including notification of the shelter if your address changes, you must return the pet to the shelter if it doesn't work out, etc. Please make sure to read the contract thoroughly before signing the agreement.
It is $5.00 to adopt a cat or kitten & $10.00 to adopt a dog or puppy. You must also purchase a city license if you live in the city of Anderson.
It is suggested that you take your new pet to the vet as soon as possible after adoption to make sure that they are healthy.

Three Things You Can Do To Make a Positive Change For Homeless Shelter Animals!
ADOPT OR RESCUE the next time you choose to add a new pet to your family. When you buy from a pet shop you are encouraging puppy mills to produce more puppies that will add to the pet overpopulation problem that already exists. SAVE A LIFE! Shelters and rescue organizations always have pure-breeds in addition to loving and wonderful mixed breeds.
SPAY AND NEUTER Every Pet That You Have.
KEEP YOUR PETS for Their Entire Lifetime! Choosing to own a pet is a lifetime commitment. Honor your promise to love and provide a safe and healthy life for the pet you choose. When challenges arise such as family structure change, moves, pet behavior issues, heath or financial change, seek out the resources that can help keep you and your pet together. Animals are living beings that bond with you, offering a lifetime of unconditional love.
Ways to be kind to animals:
1) Report animal abuse. Violence against animals is terrible enough, but it could also be a sign that other violent behavior, like domestic abuse, is happening.
2) Speak out for animals. Get active in local animal welfare policies and legislation.
3) Kindness starts at home. Teach the people in your life, especially children, about the importance of treating animals humanely.
4) Adopt a pet from a shelter or breed-specific rescue. About 8 to 12 million animals enter shelters every year, and more than half of these pets will have to be euthanized because of a lack of homes. Want a purebred Labrador? Check with your local shelter first -- they take in mutts and purebreds.
5) Help solve the tragedy of euthanasia of adoptable animals by not contributing to the problem. If you have pets, make sure they are spayed or neutered.
6) Make a donation to your local animal shelter. A donation can be your time, money or needed items like pet food or laundry detergent. Call them first and see what they need.
7) Be a responsible pet guardian. Pets should be microchipped and should always wear a collar with an ID tag, so they can be reunited with you quickly if they are ever lost. And take your pet to the veterinarian every year for vaccinations and a health check.
