 This
young adult kitty showed up at our home on Sunday , announcing herself loudly
as she was up a tree in our front yard and could not make her way down.
After helping her down, I realized she was very friendly (and appreciative). We know nothing about her except that she appears to be in good health and friendly. She's solid white with beautiful light blue eyes! Hope is definitely deaf. There is no fee to adopt , however, prospective adoptive families must fill out an adoption application. For more info, call or email Barbara second.chance.ranch@llive.com / phone: 336-975-0019. |
 Trinity
is a 1 year old Tortoiseshell DSH. She is easy going and likes to be petted.
She has been spayed and is up to date on shots. She gets along with other
cats. This pet is in foster care. Call Holly at 336-363-3304 for more

You can now apply for Financial Assistance to Spay or Neuter your pet - you must provide a brief explanation of your financial need in the application in order to qualify. Assistance is available up to 100% of the surgery cost (please note, owners are responsible for all other veterinarian costs). Please note this program is available on a funds availability basis.
Volunteers are welcome to assist our group with fostering animals, participating in fundraisers (bake sales, adopt-a-thons, etc.), or being on the Board of Directors. We are unable to allow volunteers to handle shelter animals because most shelter animals have not had their shots and pose a health hazard.
Please call us at 336-363-9187 to volunteer or email AlleghanyAnimals@yahoo.com. Please note you will be required to fill out a volunteer application. We ask that any volunteers under 14 be accompanied by an adult. Board Members must be 18+.

As consumers, we have the power to
stop the cruel cycle of animal abuse perpetuated by puppy mills. When we buy a pet or even shop at a store that sells puppies,
we contribute to a heartless underground industry that forces dogs to
spend their entire lives in cages constantly breeding to support consumer
demand for puppies. Take the pledge
to stop puppy mills!
Why breed or buy when shelter
animals die?

Dogs Deserve Better! No Chained Dogs!Would you for one second choose to live the life of these dogs? No matter what reason is given, the bottom line is that it is NOT ok to chain a dog for life. Dogs should not have to live chained or penned as prisoners, yearning for a place in a family, craving acknowledgement, respect, and love. They DESERVE BETTER, and we as caretakers have the obligation to provide it for them. |
Donations are urgently needed
to help feed and maintain the animals at the local shelter. We desperately
need the following:

The Alleghany Animal Shelter is managed by Twin Oaks Veterinary Hospital in Sparta, NC. The shelter receives unwanted dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies dropped off by residents of Alleghany County. The shelter also receives stray animals collected by the dog catcher.
Adopting a pet is quick and easy! The adoption fee is $15 plus the cost of a rabies shot (for animals over 6 months of age). If an animal has received a parvo shot, this cost is also added to the adoption fee (mostly for puppies). We highly recommend updating each animal adopted with ALL vaccines and spaying/neutering prior to leaving the facility. There is no adoption application (unless the pet is listed under "Save a Pet Foundation"), it's just first come, first serve; however, you can place a "Hold" on an animal over the phone using a credit card.
