SHELTER NEEDS RELLIABLE TRANSPORTATION
Several months ago, the vehicle used to transport animals to outside adoption events quit running. Sadly, it is beyond repair. Since that time, the shelter staff and volunteers have been using their vehicles to transport the animals. So far, attempts to obtain another vehicle have failed. Now we are sending out a call for help. We are looking for a mechanically reliable vehicle with cargo space and working heat/ air conditioning (necessary to keep our furry friends healthy). If you or anyone you know has a mechanically reliable vehicle to donate, please call Shirley Moxley at 358-2882. The donation is tax deductible.
DID YOU KNOW????????
The adoption fee covers the cost of spaying/neutering, all shots to date, and the microchip implanted to assist with locating the owner should the pet become lost. Best of all, it is less expensive than what you pay if your pet didn’t come from a shelter.
2ND ANNUAL BASS TOURNAMENT OCTOBER 11th, 2008
The second annual bass tournament will be held on October 11th, 2008. The tournament will start at safe day light, with weigh in at 3:00 P.M. Sponsors and volunteers are still needed. Please contact the shelter at 358-2882 for sponsor and volunteer information.
Do you have an idea for a fund raiser for the Shelter? If so please contact the Shelter at 334-358-2882.
PAWS APPLAUSE
Our furry friends, as well as the shelter staff and volunteers would like to thank Cobbs Ford Veterinarian Center for their help on July 8, 2008. All our adoptable animals were treated for ear mites, fleas, and worms as well as checked for heartworms. The Cobbs Ford staff did everything from scrubbing the walls to outside work. They provided the Shelter staff tips and education to increase the level and quality of care our homeless animals receive from this dedicated group. Thanks again Cobbs Ford

A VOLUNTEER’S PROSPECTIVE
In the mix of business, happy and sad tears are endured daily at the Prattville/Autauga Humane Shelter are a daily occurrence. If not for these dedicated employees, who tend to each and every animal’s needs at the shelter, it would be a very sad and dreary place. I have had a chance to meet each employee, as well as most of the volunteers that make a difference to these precious animals. I have myself, experienced a life changing perspective of the daily challenges and needs that are provided to helpless, abandoned animals that do not have a loving home, or do not choose this fate.
The sole purpose of Humane Shelters is to house and provide to unwanted animals with a stable healthy environment and tend to their health and needs. Our goal as the Prattville/Autauga Humane Shelter is to stress the importance of spaying and neutering your pets. The funds received from our community are indeed contributed and spent on the care
of our animals.
If you are interested in volunteering with the shelter, please call 358-2882.
