🎄🎅 Oh, what fun we had at our annual Holiday Portraits Event this year! 🐾✨ Dogs of all shapes, sizes, and festive outfits came to meet the one and only Santa (a.k.a. our amazing Dr. Lynch!) 🎁🎅

Even the Grinch couldn’t resist the holiday cheer—he might’ve left with a heart three sizes bigger! 💚🎄 From wagging tails to holiday smiles, the joy was absolutely contagious.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day magical. We can’t wait to see even more of you next year! 🐾📸

🌟 Meet Coco and her BFF Noah 🌟

Coco and Noah are two peas in a pod at the shelter—where you find one, you’ll almost always find the other! 🐕🐾 Whether they’re playing together, sharing quiet moments, or just being the best buddies, their friendship is truly heartwarming. 💕

But while Coco loves Noah, her biggest dream is to find a family to call her very own. 🏡 She’s a sweet, affectionate girl with so much love to give, and she’s ready to trade shelter life for cozy couches, belly rubs, and endless snuggles.

Noah’s been cheering her on from the sidelines, and now Coco’s hoping someone will see what he already knows—she’s the most wonderful bestie anyone could ever ask for. 💖

Come meet Coco and see if she’s the one you’ve been waiting for! While she’ll always hold Noah close to her heart, she’s ready for a new chapter filled with love, laughter, and a home to call her own.

📍 Visit Coco at Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter
💌 Share to help her find her forever family!

I have spent most of my life at Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter.

Are you the one I’ve been waiting for? I have been waiting so long. I am Tabitha, a sweet 7-year-old girl who has spent most of my life in the shelter. I am cautious around strangers who make me nervous. But once I can trust you, I will shower you with affection, snuggles, and kisses.

Tabitha needs a patient, experienced owner to help her build confidence, and until she finds her new family, she will remain a cherished part of the MPAS family.

Providing this level of care for long-term animals comes at a cost—some animals, like Tabitha, can cost as much as $10,000 annually to meet their needs

This , your support ensures that animals like Tabitha receive the care they need, no matter how long it takes.

We ask for your support for Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter's to ensure we can continue providing essential medical care for every animal, whether their stay with us is for 14 days, 365 days or more.

❤️Routine care, including vaccinations, preventatives, deworming, spay/neuter surgeries, and microchipping.

❤️ Specialized treatments, such as prescription diets, diabetes management, dental extractions, and more.

❤️ Lifesaving care like diagnostics, MRIs, and surgical procedures—critical interventions that save lives and restore health.

Can we count on you? Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter's campaign is underway!

This , we have a goal of raising $20,000 to support vital medical care for the more than 1000 animals who will come through our doors this year.

There are many meaningful ways to make your mark during Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter's . Here are just three:

❤️Spay/Neuter Surgeries- to help reduce the population of homeless animals in our community
❤️Provide emergency medical care to help restore health or save a life
❤️Provide essential medical supplies and equipment needed to deliver the highest level of care to animals in need.

At Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter, every animal receives the medical attention they need to live healthier, happier lives. But it costs more than ever to care for animals.
We need your help.

Thanks to the generosity of a supporter within our community Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter recently became the proud owner of a high-tech neonatal incubator as well as an oxygenator/anesthesia machine. This equipment fills a great need for Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter’s most vulnerable – our neonatal kittens. The machine can also be used to provide nebulization treatments for any animal in our care and can be used as an anesthesia machine.

This machine has already proven itself invaluable when used as an oxygenator for newborn kittens who were brought to the shelter after being found in the elements near death. Then again when we received a kitten with a fractured jaw. Thanks to this equipment, Dr. Lynch was able to act quickly to anesthetize the kitten and reset its jaw.

It is because of donors like you, that we are able to respond to the needs of the animals in our care. For this we are so grateful. ❤️

Please consider making a gift to help us provide this essential care to cats and dogs in need.

Today is Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter's Day. The day when your special gift will provide animals at MPAS with vital medical care.

Fleece is a testament to the smallest fighters and the unwavering dedication of those who care for them. She arrived at Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter with her mother and four tiny siblings, just 1.5 weeks old, from a partner shelter. They were in dire condition—mom was too weak to eat, drink, or nurse her kittens.

Our experienced staff immediately stepped in, placing the fragile family in isolation, fostered by our skilled vet techs. They began bottle-feeding the kittens to give them a chance to survive. But their battle had only just begun. Tests revealed that not only were they fighting a severe case of Coccidia but the babies also suffered from Panleukopenia, a highly contagious and often fatal disease. Despite the odds, our dedicated team, led by Dr. Lynch, made the decision to fight for their lives.

Tragically, four of the kittens couldn’t overcome the challenges. Yet, amidst the heartbreak, Fleece, showed remarkable determination. She clung to life, gaining weight little by little as she transitioned to solid food. Slowly, her playful and spirited personality began to shine. But her journey was far from easy. There were many ups and downs, with each day bringing a new challenge and the haunting question of whether she would survive. Her tiny body fought fiercely, but the odds seemed overwhelming at times The fight to save Fleece was both heartbreaking and awe-inspiring.

Fleece’s journey reminds us that while we can’t save them all, we can give them hope. Because of donors like you, Fleece had a chance to fight—and win.

All they need is a second chance.
You might not realize it, but animals are counting on you. Right now, dogs and cats are waiting to come to MPAS. They are homeless and scared. Some in poor health.

But-there is hope. That hope comes from compassionate people like you. You are their best hope for a new life and restored health in the upcoming year.
